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.

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.
Dr. Connel saya In reference to this
that in the thousands he has examined
there was no protest, but on th diljor

LARRY MANGAN STEADFAST
IN FRIENDSHIP FOR MULE
tarry Mangan Is worried. 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

ITS PUGET SOUND LINE
Th Milwaukee has begun the electrlfl- '
cation of Its ralroad system. The first

of the l'uget Hound line through ;he
mountains. The third rail system will be
employed. For a time, at least, only pas
sengsr trains will be run by electricity,
Tho current will supply the power, heat
and light. It Is figured that this chanr.o

When the electrification of the Pugtt

business and was receiving no returns.
Tho terms of settlement are being with
held by the parties at Interest, but they
say a satisfactory adjustment of their
differences was effected. From affi

the business haa grown since Oertschy
