DOCTOR PENETRATES NERVOUS MALADIES Forms Theory to Explain Various Obscure Inabilities to Con- trol Muscles. DR. MAYO IS INTERESTED Methods May Cure Ailment Now Subject to Faith Healing. By Consolidated DPress. TER, Minn., Many erers from Little’ spastic paraplegia and some obscure >arkinsonian syndromes — ailments ising from inability to control mus- cular action—is in sight from the Mayo clinic here. Dr. Willlam J. Mayo, renowned ®urgeon, has set a corps of research cialists to work testing the find- of a young Australian physician that hold out hope for thousands suf- fering from certain muscle ailments. Many Ml)]’!ll war soldiers who have Jost control of their limbs through brain injuries, children suffering from restricted muscle activity due to Lit- tle’s disease, and persons with Park- insonian syndromes. a form of palsy, telephone plan worked both ways, that muscles under conscious control not only received messages from the conscious mind, but also received and distributed impulses from the uncon- sclous nervous system. Now comes Dr. Hunter, who has found that every voluntary muscle fiber is connected with the sympa- thetiz nervous system, as well as Wwith the cerebrospinal system, and that muscular tone depends upon this fact. Previously it was believed that the voluntary movement of muscles that direct human activity was not closely concerned with the sympa- thetic nervous system. Under cer- tain conditions, not ‘vell understood. this muscle tone or wessaging would work irregularly, #s in Little's dis- ease, spastic parapiegia and Parkin- sonian syndromes. This irregularity was the cause of much of the dis- ability, according to Dr. Hunter's theory. Experiments Suceesaful. Hunter, working with Dr. Royle, the orthopedic surgeon, came to the conclusion that if they could cut these communicating nerves between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic systems, the operation would have some effect in_stopping the jerkings of muscles. Experiments on goats were successful and have been fol- lowed by forty or fifty operations on persons with various kind of mus- cular disturbances, with favorable re- sults in many cases. t is being planned to bri Australlan doctor and Dr. Resie to the United States later in the year. This new line of research, involv- ing a new inquiry into the way of nerves, their influence and control, However, the hand of the clock not be set back: a_way must be pro- vided for the rebuilding of misshapen bones, joints, and muscles deformed THE EVENI TEACHERS’ RATING SYSTEM ADOPTED “Eminently Superior” Classification Is Approved by School Heads by Vote of 23 to 21. The new rating sheet on which the efficiency of District public school teachers will be determined, proposed several years ago by Superintendent Frank W. Ballou, was adopted by school officers at a conference yester- day afternoon at the Franklin School. As a result the teachers will be rated according to a stricter and more de- tailed scale of efficiency. One of the salient features included in the rating system is a new rating, “eminently ~superior,” which was adopted, after protracted discussion, by & vote of 23 to 21. The chief ob- jection to the incorporation of “emi- nently superior” in the new rating sheet came from the supervising principals, who contended that the present grade of “excellent” was suf- ficient. The rating of teachers is an annual work of the supervisory officers and determines the standing and eligibil- ity for promotion of each teacher. The ratings in the past have been general. Now they will be made upon & more detailed report. The ratings which a teacher may receive under the W system ure | may explain a good many things.
