SCHOOL NEDCAL INSPECTORSURGED Council of Social Agencies Pledges Aid te Increase District’s Force. The urgent need for more medical Inspectors in the public schools of Washington was discusseid at a meet- ing yesterday afternoon of the Wash- ington Council of Social Agencies in the Burlington Hotel. The fact that serious consequenc might arise in healtl emergency, such as an epldemic, from | the lack of an adequate force of | achool phy: < was pointed out by . ident of the council, | following a statement by Dr. Joseph | A. Murphy, chief medical inspector, | that his force is so small that only | “about one-third, possibly one-half” of the children starting school this| year can be examined physically. Dr. Murphy declared that, in the svent of an emergency, the local health authoritis would not call for outside assistance, even though it} were available in the form of Federal or private medical aid. He explained that the local Health Department is| serfously landicapped by lack of | funds. | case of a Council Support Pledged. Mr. Moses pledged to Dr. Murphy the support of the council In seeking | more inspectors. Walter S. Ufford an- | nounced his “fear” that the District| Commissioners were not going to recommend to Congre the appro- priations needed for child heaith work, and he urged the various social and health interests to join in bring- ing pressure to bear.” Dr. Murphy stated that pre-school health measures were vitally impor- tant, as experience has shown that 92 per cent of children just entering | kindergarten or the first grade are vhysically defective. ~ He said th responsibility for this condition res largely with the parents, and sug gested training ‘“the parents of to- morrow, now in school” to bring up their children according to recognized health standar Dr. Murphy said he is convinced children entering school should be re- quired not only to show a vaccination mark, but to present certificates show. ing that their teeth, eyes and tonsils are free from uncorrected defec Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president of the Congress of Mothers and Par- ent-Teacher Associations, _decl that a large percentage of Washing. ton mothers seem not to care about the health of their children.

Dr. Roge aid that America is showing other nations the way to proper playground programs. He said it was * economy” to stint health appropriations. Mr. Fowler called attention to the fact that in reply to the question, “Are all children given a medical examination upon their admission to the school?” One hundred answered ‘“‘yes” in 1925, and 97, cluding Washington, answered *no. “The schools cs do much more than they are now doing,” Mr. Fowler sald, “but they can't do all that is necessary to make our people physi- cally fit. We are in need of a na- tional health crusade.” John Ihlder, vice president of the oouncil, who presided over the forum, told the delegates of the remarkable strides being made in Germany and England in recreational work.

She was always livanting to some forum, hall or den, wher® the orators were ranting of the tyranny of men. All her labors were neglected, she passed up the household chores, and her husband, sad, dejected, washed the dishes, swept the floors. Then the women came out winners, gained the hoon for which they yearned, and, with men, those sclfish sinners, to the voting places turped. My Aunt Dor- cas, she was queenly, when her bal- lot first she cast; nobly, grandly and serenely she went to the polls at last. Life, she thought, was finer, grander, since the shackles were cut loose; any sauce that fits the gander should be given to the goose. Now she was a human beln, not o dummy, as of old, ancient prejudices fleeing left her life as good as gold. But the boon we hope to cherish when just out of reach it stands scems to shrivel up and perish when we have it in our hands. And I asked my aunt just lately why she no more seeks the polls, when the party suffers greatly from the lack of loyal souls. *T have had enough of voting.” she replied, displaying heat. “let your candidates | g0 boating up Salt River and repeat. When the vote I was demanding [ supposed, like other dames, only women of good standing would pur- sue the voting games. Women of no social prestige crowd around and spoil my hat, and there is no sign or v polls on frow y the ladies who age classed with the elite.” So our boons blow up and wither, that had promised o much v, and we bleat around and blither for some other varnished toy.
