rheumatism" is a disease Of this sort. 1t
is all but impossible to make the average man
believe he is mistaken about it. He was taught
in his youth that going without a warm coat,
getting the feet wet, or sitting in a draught,
would cause rheumatism. He hates to be dis
turbed in his conviction.
Our grandparents thought every baby should
cut its teeth on a rind Of pork. They looked
upon the tomato, or "love apple" as they
called it, as a dangerous fruit-eating it, they
believed, would cause cancer. Sleeping in the
moonlight, these ancestors Of ours were sure,
would bring on insanity.
But "the world do move" We must revise
a lot Of our old-time convictions.
AS regards rheumatism, for instance, we
have gone past the exposure idea Of its cause.

Talk Is Cancelled.
as. Mrs. william T. Bannerman was
asked to speak on the platoon school
at q parent-teacher meeting. A day or
two before the meeting she was called
and asked If her feelings would be hurt
If she didn't speak, since the principal
of the school feared the administration
would look upon it with disfavor.
&c. On two occasions the superln-
tendent of schools and on another an
assistant superintendent quoted para
graph from an old 1917 report on the
Gary Qnd) system as an argument
against the platoon organization. Mr.
Henry Clark was suspicious OF this
argument and secured a copy OF the
report elsewhere. On the page OPP
posite the paragraph quoted by the
superintendent he found the Following
statement: Therefore, II this report
should operate to retard the progressive
movement of which the experiment at
Gary is an expression, he (the author)
would feel that a very great and need
less injury had been done American
education Mr.. Clark found the au-
thor of this report to be DIR. Courtls OF
Detroit, one of the strongest pro-
ponents in the country Of the platoon
schools. He wrote DR.. COURTS about
this experience and received in reply
exhibit D, attached hereto" The copy
of DR.. Courts letter confirmed the
Detroit educators views approving the
platoon system.
az. An assistant superintendent OF
schools in a public meeting spoke OF
| the platoon school as a sausage mill
and all that was said In its favor as
propaganda This could hardly be re-
garded as friendly or sympathetic act
Specialists Transferred.
"8. In the early years of the Park
View platoon system many specialists
were developed by the organization
Many of these were transferred to other
city-Wide positions, greatly handicap

specialists could be developed.
30. A fourth-Story addition to tho
Park View building as proposed by the
superintendent would never have beer

the platoon organization as It is agains
all platoon school practice.
10. We have been told that tn,

the high schools as pupils from TIT
other schools, which he exhibits to Sc

PARK VIEW SCHOOL
ADDITIONS ORDERED
Formal Notification of Award of
Contract Prelude to Abandon
ment of Potables.

When the District Commissioners
formally notify the Board of Education
this afternoon of the award of the con-
tract to build the two additions to the
Park View School they will sound the
requiem for the five portable schools
now in use at that building.
The two additions will be erected
adjoining the present two wings OF the
Park View School so that they flank
the central auditorium section OF the
structure. Each will contain class
rooms and a gymnasium, one for boys
and one for girls.
The new structures, which are ex-
pected to eliminate not only the porta-
bles but part-time classes as well, are
scheduled to be ready for occupancy
next September. The opening OF these
additional permanent facilities will re-
open the question of the continued use
OF the five released portables, for the
School Board must decide whether they
are to be repaired and removed to othei
sites for continued use, or whether they
shall be abandoned. The officials al
ready have announced their intention
of withdrawing from the service al
portables as rapidly as they may con-
sistently do so, and the frame structures
were inspected twice during the las
six months to determine their ntnes'

Legislation Credited to Him.
1t was due largely to DIR. Wallis efforts
that a law was passed which requires
the passing of rigid basis science"
examination showing at least an ele-
mentary knowledge of the functioning
of the human system before any one
can engage in any therapeutic prac-
tice. After passing this examination,
candidates are examined in the science
of the particular school of healing in
which they desire to practise by Sepa-
rate examining boards of these schools.
In working for this legislation, DR..
Wall encountered for several years
strenuous opposition from the leaders
of various cults who feared that the
medical profession would try to domi-
nate the field and force them out of
business, but he was aided by a growing
succession of scandals growing out of
the diploma mill cases.
If the Medical Society of the District
of Columbia, which includes the great
majority of all practicing physicians
In Washington should adopt the dag
nostic clinic plan tonight, 1t ts' pointed
out by leading District medical men, a
far-reaching precedent would be es-
tablished in American medicine. Hither-
to diagnoStic clinics either have been
adjuncts of universities or have been
conducted by small groups OF specialists,
working independently. There have
been none maintained by the organized
