In its report on schooi children’s s the Heal makes a startling presentation. It has bee A health of school ciildren in the city is worse than in (he country, but it was not imagined that half of the children of the public schools need im- mediate medical attention. There were 13,941 children examined. Of these a quarter have “defective sight and more than a quarter have bad teeth, Ten per cent. _ suffer from insufficient nourishment. Hundreds of cases of heart dis- ease, incipient consumption, ch rged glands and spinal deform- ity were found. Over 5 per cent. hildren come within the medi- cal diagnosis of defective mentality. | 3 The children examined were from the schools in the most crowded tenement-house neighborhoods, but there was no selection made of the wehildren for examination, Every child in the primary grade in four dif- ferent schools was examined. The great majority of the defects catalogued by the Board of Health gre such as will grow worse and not better with age unless skilled med- feal attendance is had. Few of the children have had any treatment for ethe defects and deformities which the inspectors reported. Their teeth might be saved by a dentist's care, and their eyesight could be improved with glasses and treatment. The deformities of the spine, chest and «limbs are going uncared for and becoming worse through negiect. In few cases are the parents of these children giving any attention to these ssanatters. It is only when the sickness causes pain or interferes with ordin- ary locomotion, and not always even then, that the child is taken to one of the free dispensaries. ec If this condition is permitted to continue such neighborhoods will “Become breeding places for physical deformities and mental defects. It is far better that the cases of these children should be treated early than flat they should be allowed to fill the asylums and hospitals later on. BAKERS AND THE LAW. In their present strike for shorter hours and better conditions the east | side bakers are virtually following the advice of the Supreme Court of | the United States. Several years ago the Legislature of this State under- took to shorten the working hours of bakers and to regulate their working conditions, This bill became a law, and it would be a law of this State to-day had it not been recently declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. The right of the Legislature to fix by law the working hours of bakers was cartied through the State courts, and the Court of Appeals by a majority vote decided that the law was constitutional and that the Legis-| lature had the power to fix the hours of labor in occupations such as that! of bakers, where are produced articles affecting the public health. An appeal was taken to the United States Supreme Court on the} ground that the liberty of contract between the employer and the workman) was infringed by fixing the hours of labor. By a closely divided court the! United States Supreme Court upheld this view and it impliedly stated that the remedy for too long working hours was not to pass a law making| them shorter, but for the men to refuse to continue the long working day. The Supreme Court held that a man had the constitutional right to work as many or as few hours a day as he pleased, and that his employer had a _ corresponding right to insist on having things his way. Each was legally in the right so long as he pursued suitable methods. h Depart Jered that t VOODOO AND SLEIGHT OF HAND. Clementina Carnizzzo and Rosina Russo believed they were be- witched.
