In his addrrss be fore tha Southwestern Iowa Teachers' as sociation last Friday, urged the medical inspection of all children attend: Jit the pub lic schools. "ThTa should be competent medical supervision of the children of our public schoo a Many children ars physically de fective and need supervision by persons skilled In the examination and treatment of eyes, ears. nose, throat, teeth, and the general functions of the body. Many chil dren become victims of disease because of tin-so physical defects. All this might be avoided by proper medical Inspection." said Vr. Kepford. Vr. Kepford'i plan for the physical ex amination of the pupils of tna public schools was entirely in accord with, the recommendation contained In the annual ra pe rt of Dr. R. B. Tubbs. city physician. Letter ta the Bears. Encouraged by the stress .aid by Dr. Kepford on the importance of such physical examination of the pupils In the public schools. Dr. Tubbs has addressed tha fol lowing communication to the Board of Education and the local Board of Health: After having given some thought and study to tna subject uf medical inspection of school cmldren. it Is now my desire to net tne suoject before the locai Uoard of riealla and Board of Education for dlncus sinn, witn a nope tnat wa may accnmpiten tor the cniidreu ill our comaiuniiy want has been done in many otner clues la tna way of giving them a chance to be paysi caily and mentauy better men and women. It la an unuisputaoie tact tnat many children in every community wuo are at tending the public schools are pnysicaily defective and their condition goes on un noticed by the parents until permanent harm results or until because they do not progress favorably in school they are al lowed to stop their studies and take up soma form of employment. In other words they start in life and go through all the way on a lower plane simply because they were handicapped at the start by pnysicai defects tnat might have been corrected early In tiieir scnool days and before per manent harm had resulted. It is a fact tnat cnudren with defects In the eyes. ears, nose and throat, wim tub erculosis or some other locai ar tfenerai disease are to be found a'-tending the puo lic scnoois and these cmldren noi only can not progress as well as they should, but some of til em have forma of diseaae which they may disseminata among other children with, whom they are bruugnt in contact witn many hours in the day. It has become a debaiab.a question whether or not the moral atmosphere of use puuiic school Is good and wnen we con aider a. no uiac Innocent ciuldres. are ex posed to many acute and enrunic diseases, it brings up many grave questions, which we, as parents or as pubnc-apirited men and women, shuuld seriously cousider. Faremts Of taw Umeraat. In some cases parents and teachers are Ignorant of tna conditions existing in tne cmldren under their charge and men there are caaes in which tne parents knowingly and heedlessly piermit their children to go on and grow up detective because they have not thougnt seriuusiy of the future of the child. . , . . , There la atiil another eiaaa who feel they cannot afford the medical er surgical ser vices which the child may require. I believe that at least an annual inspec tion snouid be made ef all cuudren at tending tna public scnoois and then suca other examinations of individuals as may be indicated by facts which may be oo served by parents or teaencrs. My hope is that In Council Bluffs, the Board of Health and the Board of Edu cation may jointly consider the subject of school inspection and if they deem best that they will call upon a board of physi cians to mtirt the proper examinations of tne scnool children. I am certain that the members of tha Council Bluffs Medical society will compe tently do this work for one year in order to rive it a trial. My suggestion Is that such a medical board composed of men and women who are reputable and capame phy sicians may meet witn the boards uf health and education and outline a method of pro cedure whirn will result in a system of pcvslcal examination of each, thereby oo- tairung a hmtory of the past and present Bunoiuuu which may oa preserved, as a matter of record, and reference. Then In each case where defects or dis ease are found, that the parents be notified so that if they . choose they may call on their family physician for advlca. It should not be the aim or mirnose of the examining physicians to primarily sug- V ""r ' treatment, as no rase should be Influenced to consult other than their regular physician. The exception to tills will be those cases whoae parents can- not axrora medicaj services and in such order that tne chad may receive proper attention. Xaaaa mt P-rateetloei. There will be f iund some cases which should ba excluded from tha scnuols and from class association with other children and keeping a record of them it will be p-e8lbie to ascertain when they ara again fit Ui enter Uie schools.

Dr. Anna How ard Sliaw, president of the oi aanixatlon. Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, first vice pres ident and Mrs. Harriet Taylor Cpton. .. .v- treasurer, resigned their positions. Their resignations were made at a meeting ot the executive committee. Both rM. Avery and Mrs. Upton co ri ser ted to serve one month longer, but de clared that their successors muet be ap pointed by that time. MIfs Shaw is strongly in favor of having prominent society women and women of wealth Identified actively with the suffrage work, while the twi "insurgents. " it Is said, are opposed to this policy, believing that In the long run the movement wiil suf fer more than it will gain by such help. Wherefore they had lnng been active up holders of tha administration they finally resolved to quit the erganixatlon. iasrtf Before Coanssittees. Respectful attention was given the speak ers representing the suffrage association, when they appeared before the woman suffrage committee of the senate and the Judiciary committer of tho house today to urge their cause. Both committees were urgnd to vote on the proposition, the suffragists Indicating that they would prefer unfavorable action to no action at all. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of Ohio had no little fun witn tho house committee by begging it to report against the reso lution providing for a constitutional amendment allowing vomen to vote. 3ha said she represented merely "wifehood and household." and that she was "one of the best housekeepers In the room." "Gentlemn. she asked smilingly, "why don't you report against this resolution and give us your reasons for It. We know you are not going to vote for it. We know also you are not going to vote against us; you are just going to do nothing at ail. Tou certainly are not afraid of us. We haven't any votes and can't hurt you. Please then, vote against us and tell us why you da It. Please, gen tlemen, won't you do this? This Is ail we ak, and it Is not very much." Miss Phoebe Couxins apepared in oppo sition to woman suffrage and spoke for an hour. Daaahter Also Have Row.

Instantly there was a chorus of voices claiming recognition from the chair. Mrs. John C. Ames of Illinois was recognized and aha moved that the board's recommendation be adopted. This was signal for further pandemon ium. Miss Wilcox arose and endeavored to read a statement defending her course, but was Interrupted and declared out of order, because she was discussing the subject mat ter of the board's resolution and not Miss Ame's motion. A parliamentary wrangle ensued and the convention was thrown into i confusion. The parliamentarian of the so- ciety finally was called to the rescue and bn order was rastorea miss wucox said j 1' h a1 offended the president general ' personally or on the society, she was very sorry, but she hail only tried to right what she believed to be a wrong.
