 Another piece of equipment which has been both an eye-sore and a continued expense to the city heard it's death-knell sound ed at last nights meeting, when the council voted to sell the city dump truck for as much as could be realized. Strange to relate, it was only through determined ef- forts that a former council some 12 years ago, purchased the truck IL has served the needs of the city, and has now become more of an expense than warrants its keep. The purchase of another dump truck was discussed, and will probably be taken up later.

Physical Tests Proposed

Volunteer medical inspections
in various parts of the city have
shown only too clearly the need
for this service, with its demon
strated effectiveness in disclosing
defects in the physical well-being
of children that can be readily
corrected in the early years. The
Importance of such regular inspec-
lions as a contribution to COM
munity health cannot fail to i'm
press the intelligent citizen.
It can then be truthfully said
that one of tn greatest needs of
our school system is the necessity
for physical examinations at GER
tain periods of all of the children
in the schools. Physical exami-
nations should be given by compe-
tent doctors, and they should be
thorough going examinations.
Just a sketchy looking by a
physician should not be the goal
when a health service is being set
up in a modern city.
There are many reasons why

INCREASED AID
T0IDLE ASKED

Coincident with a report by c.
E. Lamson, director Of the District
Employment Center, that $4,000
men and women in washington
are out Of work, DR.. Arson Phelps
Stokes, chairman Of the Citizens
Committee on Unemployment,
took steps today to win support Of
the Washington Board Of Trade
for an additional $1,000,000 for
relief in the 1888 fiscal year.
Two days ago, the District Com
missioners received a letter from
directors Of the trade board OPP
posing the extra appropriation.
Edward Morris, president, issued
a later statement to the effect
that the boards action was taken
on a preliminary survey to deter
mine the correct relief picture. He
said the board was confident an
investigation now in progress
would clarity conditions and
might show strong need for con-
tinuation of relief.
Upon receipt of the Morris
statement Dr.. Stokes expressed
qualification that the boards
minds are not definitely closed"
on the issue, and said the organi-
cation would cooperate with his
committee in preparing a report
of the exact facts,

these schools. There are also
children who because of opera
tons or long illnesses are neces-
sarily out Of school for several
months.
Instruction can be brought to
such children by periodic visits to
their homes by special teacher,
and they can thereby have some
of the educational advantages to
which they are entitled. Most
large cities have this educational
service, which entails relatively
small expenditure - merely the
salaries of a half-dozen teachers
and brings inordinate returns in
terms of hope and confidence to
child and parent alike. Our
washington schools should pro
vide this extension of their edu-
cational service to the commun-
ity.
In still another field, the Wash
ington educational system could
be improved.
Although medical inspection Of
school children in the public
schools Of the District of Column
bis is primarily the responsibility
of the Health Department, the
Board of Education would fail in
it's duty if it did not continue to
advocate, in cooperation with the
health officer, periodic medical in.
spection of IL school children.

Matter of Economy

Physical examinations, there
fore, as a matter of economy, will
help to find out more quickly in
many cases the causes of failures
in school. 1t is a matter of economy
to the community because children
who are ill, and are not physically
fit, may become dependents on
the community in later days. The
figures during the World War,
which revealed how many of the
young men who entered the United
States Army had physical defects,
made us realize how much such a
service of physical education is
needed in the schools.
OF course, such a physical exam
ination should have the proper
follow-up, presumably by the fam
lily physician. The examination
will be of no value unless there is
subsequent care taken to correct
defects that have been discovered
by the examination.
If careful records are kept of
these examinations, surveys u

mately be a real economy to the

provision of physical development
of all children. The major sports
football, baseball. basketball and
others are excellent, and those
who are able to play on the teams
get much development through
such play.
Necessarily, however, there are
only a limited few who can play
on the teams. All of the children
should have an opportunity to

physical examinations in the
schools are a real benefit, not only
to the children themselves but to
the community and to the tax
payers of the community.
In the first place, many failures
in school are caused by some
physical defect that could easily
be corrected. A child may have
to repeat grades because he cannot
see we'll, or hear well, or has some
other defect. Failures are costly
to the taxpayer because every time
a child repeats a grade it costs
money,
