Mr. Smith also stated that efforts will be made to enlist patrons from outside communities, and it is hoped special train service may be arranged for those attending from outside points. Two Centuries Old. The “St. Matthew's Passion” was first heard nearly two centuries ago, having been given in its original ver- sion on Good Friday, 1729, at St. Thomas’ Church, Leipzig. Some nota- ble revivals have carried it down to the present day, and it now stands as one of Bach's sublime achievements. Probably the most recent productions have been those given at Bethlehem and by the friends of music in New York. In announcing the list of more than a score of guarantors who have made possible the coming visit of the Bach Cholr, Mr. Smith said it was expected the list would be considerably aug- mented prior to the concert.

Declaring Vashington is lagging behind other cities of the country in its public school health inspection work, the Monday Evening Club’s pub- lic health committee, in o report made last night, recommends a three-year extension program for the health in- spection facllities in the schools here. Although pralsing the work of the present limited staff provided for school health inspection In the Cap- ital, the committee, which s headed by Mrs. Wallace Hatch, finds a con- dition calling for “immediate und se- | rious attention.” “Children are being discovered to- | day in our public schools,” the report says, ‘“suffering from _bronchitis, chickenpox, diphtheria, mumps, scar let fever, acute tonsilitis, ulcer, whoop- ing cough and dozens of other dis- | eases.” Amounts Required. The committer recommends that for the first year of the three-vear exten slon program Congress authorize $73.- 400 additional to provide for 1 addi tional medical inspéctors, 14 staff nurses, 1 supervising nurse operators and 4 dental clin other {ncreased facilitles. It mends authorlzation of $31.860 addi-| tional in the second year, to provide | for 6 more medical inspectors, b staff nurses and 8 dental hyglenists, and | $27.900 additional for the third vear, to provide for 6 more medical inspectors, 3 nurses and 4 dental hygienists. The total added cost for the three years would be $133,160. This would bring annual expendi- tures for the work up to approximate- 1y $200,000, but the committee points out that even this falls far short of the $800,000 a year expended by Balti- more for school health inspection. The $61,120 spent by Washington for this work in 1924.25, the report saye, an average of $142,185 le citfes. These cities 7,253 complete examinations 1 children, while less than ¢ made here. Pralses Work Done. In praising the work of the com- paratively small school health inspec- tion staff here, however, the com- mittee points out that, last year, 12 health inspectors, working part time. made 28.254 examinations or inspe tions of puplls and 12,777 sanitary in-| spections of school rooms. The re- | sult of the dental work in the school is shown In the reduction from 90.7 per cent in 1918-18 to 5 per cent H last year in the percentage of pupi having defective teeth.

CHICAGO, Maréh 6.—The elderly father of the boy who Robert Scott is charged with murdering in a drug store hold-up, will be unable to atend the trial because he s too poor to af- ford an absence from his work. There are two young daughters to support, and Jacob Maurer went deeply into debt during his illness after young Joseph Maurer's death. “I do not know whether to be glad or sorry that Robert Scott has been found,” he sald. “It opens up an old wound, and it is all too futile so far as I am concerned. But it's an in- teresting fact that while thousands of dollars have been raised among strangers to defend the murderers of my boy, 1, the father, am denied the right even of hearing. the trial be- cnuse I am penniless.” Is your coal supply becoming exhausted?
