Btlhm “The grestest value to be given chil- dren: is education, Edgar F. Allen, president of the International Soclety fo® Crippled Children, Blyria, Ohlo, told the departmept. of child hyglene of the National Education Association At {ts meeting in the District build. ing today. Mr. Allen, who has-spent fourteen years among crippled chil- dren, safd the greatest probiem in the eduastion of the erippled ohild lies in isolaggd districts whare prop- erty value is s0 low that the cost of special education 14 prohiditive. “Thia prodlem,” he ssld, “may be worked out by consolidation of the rural schools, but state aid might be neces- sary.” Dr. Eiton G, Littell, medical direc- tor, board ot education, Yonkers, N.

Special at- tention must also hé given to the hy- glene- of truction, provision for play, regulated éxercises and organ- izations of classes for childrren suf- fering from physical handicaps. “In many respects the importance of efforts to maintain nutrition of the child as an individual is overshadowed by the larger aspect of the effects of these efforts on future genéfations. Educators are now taking a broader view of their responeibiiities and a deeper intarest in hesith as an edu- catlonal problem. very year wit- nesses better provision for school health supervision.” —_— SPEECHES HEARD BY ALL.
