traditions and history Of the Old

third revolution. The college, he
pointed out, contributed greatly
to the Revolution Of 1776; he re-
ferred proudly as a Southerner to
what he termed "the revolution
Of 1861" and placed the situation
today on a plane with these two
great crises.
He delved deeply into the his
tory of the colonial days, tracing
the radical movements of the pre-
revolutionary days here and
aboard. Comign down to the pres
ent century, he spoke of the criti-
cal year 1893, with President
Cleveland in the White House. He
said:
Then as now a Democrat
and a great leader was in the
White House. Then, as now,
there was unemployment, hun
ger and misery, the threat Of
revolution, and the frequency
Of riots, mems hearts failing
them because Of fear.
"At that time Cleveland felt
the first angry gusts Of the
economic change which broke
In its fury on President ROOse-
welt in 1888"
President Bryan reminded his
audience Of the great number Of
historic names on the alumni roll
of the old college. He mentioned
Thomas jefferson, Peyton Ran
dolph. first president Of the Con-
tinental Congress; Edmund Ran
dolph, Presidents Monroe and Ty-
Ter, and Gen. Winfield Scott.

FOWLER IN RIFT.
WITH SCHOOL
OFFICIALS
Health Chief Asserts Staff
Inadequate for General
Pupil Examinations

The District health officer and
school officials were at logger
heads today on the question Of q
physical examination Of public
school students.
DR.. William C. Fowler an
nounced that he was not in
sympathy with anw movement
that would compel every child in
the system to submit to medical
examination.
He pointed out that his present
staff of physicians is inadequate
to carry out such a program, and
that it would not be necessary as
most of the defects in children are
minor and family physicians are
correcting them.
Urged by Kramer
Assistant Superintendent Of
Schools Stephen e. Kramer Is
in favor Of the examination and
advocates the establishment Of q
health service under the admin
istration Of the Board Of Edu-
cation as q means of combating
disease among school children.
DR.. Kramer pointed out that
while the control of disease
should properly remain with the
District Health Department,
there are a number of health
activities which could be carried
on by a school medical service.
The plan outlined by DR.. Kra-
mer would take the form of pre-
ventive medicine, and would in
clude physical examination Of all
students, especially those entering
competitive sports.
No Funds Available
DR.. Kramer stated that efforts
are now being made by officials Of
the Mckinley High School to
make a physical survey Of students
in connection with the character
education program.
There are no funds for this prof.
ect, he said, and it probably will
have to be carried out on volun-
teer basis.
The school health service con-
tenplated by DR.. Kramer would
have a chief medical examiner
and an adequate staff Of doctors
and nurses.

Advertising Played, Called
Propaganda BY Hayes at
Miami Session

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 20 G.N.S0
Warning against false prophets
in fly-by.night organizations that
evidently seek to split the strength
Of the legion" Edward A. Hayes,
national commander Of the Amer
lean Legion, today issued a scorch
ing, verbal blast against the Amer
lean Veterans Association.
Aroused by Advertising
Stating that his attention had
been called to paid page adver
tisements placed by the A. v. A
in local newspapers during OF
just prior to department conven
lions of the legion, and more
recently an advertisement aimed
at legionnaires designated to at
tend the national convention
here, Mr.. Hayes said:
These advertisements pur-
port to be paid for and pub
lished at the inStigatiOn Of
legiOnnaires, evidently members
Of the A. v. A. They are in
keeping with the insidiOuS prop
uganda Of the organized OppOSi-
ton to our disabled veterans Of
the World War.
Their three points advocate
nothing that the Legion has not
already advocated, yet by infer
ence they indicate the Ameri-
can Legion is sponsoring things
inimical to the welfare of the
disabled and the country"
ECONOMY LEAGUE RAPED
limiting that the A. v. A. stems
from the same origin as did the
National Economy League, Mr.
Hayes went on:
"Only one conclusion is pos
sibIe: The organization seeks
to split the strength and sup
port of the veterans, ar old
trick; that it admittedly has
but one aim, as admittedly did
the National Economy League,
to prevent benefits to the dis
abled.
every dollar that is contrib
uted by the veteran to such a
fight, is being contributed
against the disabled cOmrade
with whom he served and who
now, helpless, looks to him for
protection"
