DAVIDSON LIKES OWEN BILL Heartily Advocates Cabinet Minister SAYS ALL CONFEREES WANT IT Returss from Washington, Where He Was Called to Discuss Merits of Creating This New Sec- h retaryship. Dr, W. M. Davidson, superintendent of schools, has returned from Washington, Dy €, He was called there last week on a telegram from United States Senator Owen, “to consult n a matter of vital importance 1o the natiopal bureau of education.™ Dr. Davidson found that the matter un- der discussion was indeed of high import: “It is nothing less than thé establishment of & new cabinet officer, to be known as the secfetary of public health and educa- tion,” sald Dr. Davidson. “For some time the American Medical assoclation has been advocatng the estab- lishment of the office of secretary ‘of public health, with a seat in the cabinet. Senator Owen's bill to create such an office ap- parently was drawn and introduced without +consultation with the medical men, but it _fits right into thelr movement. When they gund it was Introduced, they at once got sy, Then came the thought to some- ¥ that the ideal thing would be a de-| rtment that would combine the care of ibite health with the development of pub- lic education. S0 a few men considered, by virtus of the position they hold, to fairly vepresent the National Educational associa- ition, were called in, and the meeting was held in Washington in the senate bullding last Saturday. at the Conferemee. “The men representing the American Medical association were Dr. Weich, presi- denf, Whais attached to Johns Hopkins university and considersd one of the great- est medieal authorities living today; Dr. Reed of Cincinnati, secrstary of the asso- clation, and two or three other prominent physiclans. Representing the educational side were Dr. James Y. Joyner, superinten- dent of public education of North Carolina, president of the National Education asso- clation; Dr. Brown Ayres of Knoxville, Tenn., president of the National Associa- tion of State Universities; Prof. John W. Cook, president 6f the State Normal school at DeKalb IIL, who is chairman of & com- mittes to cooperate with the bureau of education; Dr. Luther H. Gulick and Dr. Leonard P. Ayres, representing the Rus- sell Sage foundation, and myself, as presi- dent of the department of superintendence of the Nebraska Educational association. “After discussion it was generally agreed that to reframe the Owen bill to cover health and education would be very desir- able. It was decided the American Medical assoclation shouid at once take a referen- dum on the question of so amending the bill, and that the proposition will be sub- mitted to the national convention of teach- ers when it meets st Boston In July. | Besides the school men named, we con- sulted with several others who could be reached, and all agreed to use their In- fluence to have the proposed measure in- dorsed by the teschers of the country.

Mr. Christiansen had quaffed a few draughts of his favorite nectar and was feeling richly inspirited. He bestrode the way to 1707 Center street, where dwelleth Charles Gunther and family, Mrs. Gunther being the daughter of Mr. Christiansen. Scarce had Mr. Christiansen reached the home of the Gunthers than, so Mr. and Mrs. Gunther averred, his nectar began to work on him. “He waved a big knife around and offersd to annihilate the whole household.” testi- fied the Gunthers in police court. “And this is not the first time he had done such a thing.
