CONGRESS TO ACT PROMPTLY Rival Exposition Claims of Vw Or-

leans and San Francisco to In- Heard May 26th.

New Orleans. May H». On May 26 Congressional committees will hear the several reasons New Orleans and San Francisco have to advance in sup- port of their rival claims to recogni- tion as tire official Panama Exposition city. Rot)i have f.5,000,000 in sight. Roth claim tire canal will make them greater cities and greater ports. New Orleans will advance the further claim that it is the logical point, in that it is the practical North Ameri- can seoport center of North anti Soutli American population, and that it can be reached with less difficulty and less travel by seven times more people than San Francisco. Further that it is the logical seaport for nearly all the Mississippi Valley States. In proof of tills claim the New Orleans delegation,which will be a strong one. will show a large map so circled as to show the population in the territory within reach of the two cities. This map will play a big part in ttie dis- cussions. It indicates that by the census of 1660—the last tigures avail- able-there are 17,000,006 people living in North and Central America within 500 miles of New Orleans, 6.5,000,000 within 1000 miles, and 60,000.000 with- in 1500 miles, as against 2.000,000, 6,000,000 and 17,000,000 respectively within similar distances of San Fran- cisco and that while the people of Mexico, Central and South America cau reacli New Orleans easily, many of these people to reach San Fran- cisco at all must pass through New Orleans and then make the long trip across the continent.

The New Orleans delegation is re- ceiving the endorsement and backing of the Mississippi Valley, many states in the East, and several Central American republics, and expects to protit by this support when it ap- pears before Congress on May 26.

Medical Inspection of School Children. ilty K. Hall, Superintendent of Schools

Little Rock.) ‘•A country’s greatest asset is its

men," is more true than the conser- vation of tliis asset by the national and state governments would indicate. The natural resources of this country are being guarded and preserved by the department of agriculture, be- sides this conservation of natural re- sources such as water, forest and mineral, it instructs the farmers how to prevent and cure disease in crops, orchards and animals, and how to in- crease the production of the soil. Hut the government sits supinely by. know ing the many ills that human flesh is heir to, and their cure and prevention, yet indifferent to its great responsi- bility,the conservation of human life.

If the government, through its agri- cultural department, conserves plant and animal life, by bulletin, and ac- tual demonstration, and adds millions of dollars to the yearly output of the farm, why could not some department, the department of education for in- stance, instruct all the people about preventable and contagious diseases, non-contagious defects, and the gen- eral principles of hygiene and [sani- tation?

While we await the awakening of the government, what is being done, and what can be done to prevent this great waste of human life?

Many cities have [elaborate systems of medical inspection, followed up by t»>e treatment of children, nurses, etc. This is very tine and much to be desired. Too much can not be done, but must we despair because we can- not do big things, and have no money to employ medical inspectors? There is one way by which every scnooi in uus country can have a medical inspection and the children instructed in tlie laws of preventable diseases, sanitation and health. This must come through the teacher. It requires no medical expert to detect the most common symptoms of con- tagious defects of eye, ear, nose and throat, to teach some simple rules for prevention of preventable diseases,and to acquaint the pupils with the most general laws of sanitation.

As an equipment for this work, I would recommend a little leaflet, pub- lished by the Massachusetts Hoard of Health; the Sanitary Primer, pub- lished by the World Hook Company; Gulick Headers: Sneller’s Eye Chart: a few lessons in detecting enlarged tonsils and adenoids.

if this conservation of life is a na- tional and state obligation, it is also a private obligation, which can lie best discharged through the co-operation of parents and teachers. The teachers must do medibal inspection. I have an abounding confidence in them. They "ill meet this new demand, and perform well their part in this great- est or ail undertakings, tlie conserva- tion of human efficiency and life.
