SAYS FEE SYSTEM IS A FARCE Ifrnlih Cntnntilniiir ConnHI Pro notincra Present Way of Ilium Inallnn hy School Ilonrd nn Vns tlsfnrlorr Jokr. Bellevlnjr that Hie present system of mrdlcal Inspection In the public school of Omaha Is "a farce and a crime' Health Commissioner n. W. Connell nlll Introduce n bill Into tlir Mate legislature placing stich ln.pectlon utvler the super vision oX city health departments and thereby take It entirely out of the hands of school board. This decision on the part of the health commissioner wan reached when fi,-e rases of diphtheria were discovered in Cass school and the building wag ordorvj closed, the MX) pupils dismissed and the ceJiool fumlcated from roof to ccllnr. "Inspectors of the Bonrfl of Drluratlon," said Dr. Connell, "Inspected this school three times during the lant week by '.wo different physicians, one Inspection boltif, mad an hour lcfore I arrived and reported that there were no case?. City physicians took" culturea and found five cases. The school board's physlclnnr. said they found no signs of dlphthertt. This dmply proves that they know notn. Inc about nasal diphtheria. 1 knew noth ing about It when I took the office of health commissioner. "Understand, I am not saying that these physicians are Incompetent, for they uru not, but the system Is wrong. They an appointed by the president of the lloatd of Education. They are not allowed to take cultures, Their work, therefore, 's Absolutely useless. Such a system Is a crime. It Ih a disgusting farce. "The only physician who had taken culture for tho school board was Dr. Boltr, who examined the Franklin school and found nine cases, and the epi demic was Immediately cor trolled. Ho was emphatically Informed thJt his serv ices as an examiner to the school board would not bo needed In tho future and ho was severely criticised for taking cul turn I'ctt Diagnose Itlslif. "There aro not twenty physicians In this city who can diagnose nasal diph theria. Any physician can make t.ils takes, but the culture Is never misleading, although the presenco of other and af ferent germs may often obscure the diph theria germs and compel the taking uf n. second culture." Dr. Connell declared that frequent deaths and contagions were the direct result of this "criminal Inspection" and that he would devoto his tlma and en ergies to the abolition, of tho present method of conducting Inspection In the public schools. There were two deaths and five other cases from tho Cass school during tha last week, which caused Dr. Connell lo make a personal Inspection regardless of the report of tlio sohool . board's phyit clans. . Cass school pupils found suffering from rtlphtherfs. were Jake Heimm, S years old, 7111 North HUteentli street; Helen flheeley, 12 years old, 806 Dodge ntreet; Kether and Nellie Flnkelsteln, S and 7 years old, respectively, 1722 Cuming street; Itose Mlgdal, 6 years old, U8 Capitol avenue: Opal Dllley. 6 year old, Clowry annex, will be examined again, bs there was doubt about tho culturo taken from her. "Out of eleven cultures five were positive, two were doubtful and four wero negatrrt," said tho health commissioner. I School la rttmlKUtcil. Dr. E. Hotovtchlner, president of th Board of Education, who appoints tha physicians who have charge of tho medi cal Inspection In the schools, aatd (lis school authorities took prompt action to close and fumigate Cass school aa soon as they knew positively that ther wero cases of diphtheria there. City health and school authorities are constantly warring over the medical In spection of tho achopls, tho city's phy sician saying tha Inspection Is Ineffi cient: the school authorities saying everything possible under the law Is done to prevent contagions. Parents generally protest when the aub Ject of culture taking by tho school phy sicians Is suggested. They aro wtlllng for these physicians to examine the puplt and If there are any external Indication of a contagious disease the child Is sent home and the family physician Is calltd In.

Larry Is. up in the 70a and he drives a mule that Is slid to bo up In thq 90s. Now he Is wor ried because ho fears the government "will sell the mule. Mr. Mangan has been the mesaonger for about forty years for ujo quanerrnuiers Department or the TOUted States army at Omaha and he has driven between the postofflce and the quaxtermaster'a depot, and Incidentally to the army building during all this time. The War department has a habit of Ktlllng Its horses and mules when they become so old aa to be of little service, acd Mangan la ure his old black mule U dangerously near the age limit for . aervloe with Uncle 8m. 8o he talks a great deal to hla friends about hla dread " -of parting company with the mule. Iatd known the mule and the mule knows Xarrr. and they have been pala through rain and aunshlne for thirty years. The fact that the Wack mule ran away with Mr. Mangan two year ago and crippled tho old messenger to sorna ex tent. haa not disturbed their friendship. Irry la sure the mule didn't niean jo lo it.. and, anyway, it only makes ono nore exdtlng Incident the two haya been through together.
