GREAT TASK 18 NOT HOPELESS Better Buildings, Better Sanitation, Better Teacher, Better SnpervU len and Clawlfloalon of Children Necessary BUFFALO, N. Y Aujr. ST. The dele gates to the Fourth International Con gress on School Hygiene listened today to a paper by Dr. B. Adolphus Knopf on how to care for the physical, moral and mental vtiror of our school clilldren. Dr. Knopf ) professor of medicine at the New York Port praduate ' hospital. Ha iuUd! "Prof. n. W. Oorwin of tho University of Colorado la 'reported to have made the statement recently that out of 20,000, CCO school children attending the publlo schools. 15,000,000 are In bad health. Per haps this estimate Is too high, and '.t would seem to me difficult to prove the exact figures. What we know Is that a very high percentage of the children at tending tho public schools are below par either physically or mentally. But this need sot discourage us. Many Changes Needed. "The prognosis of disease In childhood Is, as a rule, more favorable than In the adult, Tho child's mind us well an the child's character can often to molded and What seemed abnormal he made normal, llut It will require almost a revolutionising of our present educa tional system In the majority of our schools. The best buildings, the best ranltatlon, the best hygienic supervision, the beet teachers and the smallest pos sible number of pupils for each class, and last but not least, tho best prevent ive and curative measures to diminish the number of physically, men tally and' morally Inferior children , should be In stituted. "The task Is not so difficult as It seems, but for Its accomplishment ws need the united efforts of a wise government, school boards loyal to the highest Idool, well-trained teachers. Intelligent parents, and philanthropists with and without means, who are willing to dtvnta noma of their fortuno to this cause, or glvo their persona) service to the betterment of conditions which now surround the pupils In our public schools. The child of today Is the man of tomorrow; the better the physical, mental and moral status of tho child the nearer will wa approach the Ideal, and men and women will become Indeed the Image of their Creator," Nevr Machinery necessary. Dr. J. B. WT. vralltn, director of the psychological cltnlo of the University of Pittsburgh, spoke on the distinctive con tribution of the psyoho-educatlona) cllnlo to the schopl hygiene movement, and pointed out that America haa recently developed a new type of school Inspec tion, parallel and co-ordinate with, but entirely different from, dento-medlcal In spection of "mentally unusual children." "Tho moral la clear; society must pro vide the machinery whereby the numer ous mentally deviating children In the Hchools may be accurately, mentally and educationally diagnosed and classified. Only thus can we economically and scien tifically train 'all the children of all the people,' " The medical Inspector of schools for tho elty of Albany, Dr. Clinton P. Mc Cord, addressed the congress on tho sub ject of health direction In our public tchools. speaking, In part, as follows; "There exist In the publlo schools five highways to health. They are: Medical Inspection, school hygiene, personal hygiene, physical training and welfare work. Health direction must tako cor hlsance of them all. Five Highways to Health. "The health director should be the officer to keep the physical needs cf the child 'before the publlo and the education authorities. He should act as expert to the Board of Education on questions of school hygiene and to the superintendent f schools upon medico-pedagogical prob lems. He should past upon the physic! fitness of candidates for the teaching force and should act as consultant to the llrector of physical training, dtrecto- of tchool lunches and the supervisor ot 'special classes.' His office should be made the 'clearing house' for 'special t-ate' children, where a properly equipped child study laboratory and a oetson skilled In the use of psychological tests may aid In properly classifying these Children, after which they may bo as signed to the proper schools open-air schools, open-window slat rooms or tchools for the mentally deficient, "A certain number ot mentally ev ident children are detectable only upon tareful psychological examination. "There shbuld be provision for the sot clal training ot children with spetch de fect and well regulated free dental clinics ihould be conducted. "One of the vUl objects of school training Is to bring the child to maturity frith his powers so developed and his en trgtc so conserved that the richest re turn may accrue to the state In Its vigor ous, aggressive, progressive men and women."

IOWA FALLS CHIEF OF POLICE ARRESTED ATALDEN IOWA FALLS, la., Aug. 27. (Special,) A special to the Iowa Falls Sentinel last evening from Alderr states that Chief of Police IC C. Curtis and Justice C, M. Wheeler of this city were arrested on the streets of Alden and bound over In 10O ball to appear for trial In a justice court In Alden next Monday. It la stated that Iowa Falls' chief police official accom panied Judge Wheeler to Alden on some official business, the trip being made In Judge Wheeler's auto.

WILSON READS HIS MESSAGE ON MEXICO TOJOINT SESSION (Continued from Page One.) mcnt," rend the note Mr. Lind bore to Mexico. The president emphatically praised the execution of his mission by Mr. Llnd and said ho was led to believe the Huerta government rejected tho American pro posals "because tho authorities at Mex ico City had been grossly misinformed and misled" on tho spirit of thb Amer ican pooplo "and on a mlstakon belief that the present administration did not speak for the people ot the United States." So long as such a misunder standing exists the president asserted that "this nation could only await the time of their awakening to a realization of tho real facts." "Tho situation," declared the president, "must be given a little more time to work itself out in the new circum stance s." He then outlined the position this gov ernment should take. Concluding his ad dress, tho president predicted that the "steady pressure of moral force will bo foro many days break the barriers ot prldo and prejudice down and wo shall triumph as Mexico's friends sooner than wo could triumph as her enemies." Senor Gamboa's note, which was ap pended to the president's address as an exhibit, waa not read by tho president, but furnished to congress as a printed document. Mr. Wilson I Present. Mrs.- Wilson and her daughters and Secretary Bryan had taken pmcis in the executlvo gallery. Other members of the cabinet had taken places on the floor. Every head In the chamber had been bowed and the solemnity of tho occasion was impressive as the house chaplain, the Ttev. Henry D. Couden, In hia open ing prayer, said; "Rule Thou in the hearts ot our rulers and away the minds ot thoso, Thy ser vants, that as a nation we may move forward to all that Is pure and noblo, until all the peoples of all the world shall recognize the purity ot our motives." Athough a deafening vollev ft applause rang out as the president appeared, ho plunged Into the reading of his message without delay and with a bow ot nckn iwl edgement of the greeting. As he finished reading another great roar of applause broko out. All those in the galleries stood while the president left the chamber and started back to the White house. Tho joint session at once dissolved, tho house adjourned and the senate filed buck to its side of the capltol. Text of Meacc President Wilson said: "Gentlemen ot the Congress It Is clearly my duty to lay before you very fully and without reservation the facts conOernlng our present relations with the republic of Mexico. The deplorable con dition of affairs In Mexico I need not describe, but I deem It my duty to speak very frankly of what this government has done and should seek to do in ful fillment of Its obligation to Mexico her self, as a friend and neighbor, and to American citizens whose lives and vital Interests aro dally affected by tho dis tressing conditions whloh now obtain be yond our southern border. "Those condition touch u very nearly. Not merely because they lie at our very doors. That, ot course, makes us more vividly and more constantly conscious ot them and every Instinct ot neighborly In terest and sympathy Is aroused and quickened by them) but that Is only one element In the determination ot our duty. We aro glad to call ourselves the friends ot Mexico, and wo shall, I hope, have many an occasion, In happier times, as well as In these days ot trouble and con fusion, to show that our friendship Is genuine and disinterested; capable ot sacrifice and every generous manifesta tion. Tho peace, prosperity and content ment ot Mexico mean more, much more, to us than merely an enlarged field for our commerce and enterprise. They mean an enlargement of the field ot self-gov ernment and the realization ot the hopes and rights of a nation with whose best aspirations, so long suppressed and dis appointed, we deeply sympathise. We shall yet prove to the Mexican people that w know how to serve them with out 'first thinking how we shall serve our selves. Whole World. Interested. "But we are not the only friends ot Mexico. The whole world desires her peace and progress, and the whole world Is interested as never before. Mexico Ilea at last where all the world looks on. Central America Is abouh to be touched by the great routts ot the world's trade and intercourse running free from ocean to ocean at the Isthmus. The future has much In store for Mexico, aa for all the states of Central America; but the best gifts can come to htr only It she be ready and free to receive terms and enjoy them honorably. American in par ticular Amorica, North and 8outh and on both continents waits on the develop' ir.tnt ot Mexico, and that development can be sound and lasting only It it be the product ot a genuine freedom, a just and ordered government, founded on law Only so can It be peuceful or fruitful of the benefits of peace. Mexico has a great and envlablo futuro beforo her, If only she choose and. attain the paths of honest constitutional government. Conditions Oroir Worse. "The present olrcumstances ot the re public, I deeply regret to say, do not seem to promise even the foundations of such a peace. We have waited many months, months full of peril and anxiety, for the conditions there to Improve and they have not Improved. They have grown wore, rather. The territory In some sort con trolled by the provisional authorities at Mexico City has grown smaller, not larger. The prospect of pacification of j tho country, even by arms, has seemed to grow more and more remote and its pacification by the authorities at tho capital Is evidently Impossible by any other means than force. Difficulties more and more entangle those who claim to constitute tho legitimate government of the republic. They have not made good their claim In fact. Their successes in tho fiold have proved only temporary. War and disorder, devastation and con tusion, seem to threaten to become the settled fortune of the distracted country. As friends wo could wait no longer for n solution which every week seemed fur ther away. It was our duty at least 'o volunteer our good offices to offer to assist, if we might, In effecting some ar rangement which would bring relief ind peace and set up a universally acknowl edged political authority there. Mission of Llnd. "Accordingly, I took the liberty of send ing the Hon. John Llnd, formerly gov ernor of Minnesota, as my personal spokesman and representative to the i!lty of Mexico with the following Instru tloni; " 'Press very earnestly on the .men tion ot those who are now exercising authority or wielding Influence In Mexico the following considerations and advice: " The government of the United States does not feel at liberty any longer to stand Inactively by while It becomes daily more and more evident that no real prog ress is being made toward tho establish ment of a government at the City of Mexico which tho country will obey and respect. " The government of the United States does not stand In the same case with the other great governments of tho world In respect to what Is happening or what Is likely to happen In Mexico. We offer our pood offices, not only because ot our genuine desire to play the part of a friend, but also because we are expected by the powers of tho world to act as Mexico's nearest friend. " 'Wo wish to act In these circum stances In the spirit ot the most earnest and disinterested friendship. It Is our purpose In whatever we do or propose In this perplexing and distressing situation, not only to pay the most scrupulous re gard to the sovereignity and Independence of Mexico that we tako as a matter of course to which we are bound by every obligation of right and honor but also to give every possible evldenco that we act; In the Interest of Mexico alone, and not In the Interest of any person or body ot persons who may have personal or property claims In Mexico, which they may feel that they have the right to press. Wo arc seeking to counsel Mexico for Its own good and in the Interest of, Its own peaco, and not for Any other purpose whatever. The government of the United States would deem Itselt discredited It It had any selfish or ul terior purpose In transactions where the peace, happiness and prosperity of a whole people Are' 'Involved.-' It Is acting aa Its friendship for Mexico, not as Any selfish Interest, dictates ' '' 4 "The present situation in) Mbxlco Is incompatible with, the fulfillment of In ternational obligations- on the part of Mexico, with tho dvlllxed development ot Mexico Itselt and with the malntalnence of tolerable political and economic con ditions In Central America.

"Taking all the existing condition Into consideration, tho government of the United States can conceive of no reason sufficient to Justify them In attempting to shape the policy or cxercls. the au thority ot Mexico In declining the offices of friendship thus offered. Can Mexico give the' civilised world a satisfactory reason for rejecting our good office? If Mexico can suggest any batter way In which to show our friendship, serve tne people of Mexico and meet our interna. tlonal obligations, we arc more thou will ing to consider the suggestion." Proposals rtejeeted by Hnerta, "Mr. Llnd executed his dellcato and dif ficult mission with singular tact, firm ness and good Judgment, and made clet to the authorities at the City ot Mexico, not only the purpose ot his visit, but also the spirit in which It had been mid". taken. But the proposals he submitted were rejected In a note, the full text of which I take the liberty of laying before you. "I am ued to believe that they were re jected partly because thb authorities at Mexico City had been grossly misin formed and misled on two points. They did not realise the spirit ot tne American people In this matter, their earnest friend liness and yet sober determination for some Just solution for the Mexican diffi culties; and they did not believe that the present administration spoke rhro'Uh Mr. Llnd for the people ot the Jnltod States. The effect of this unfortunate misunder standing on their part Is to leave them singularly Isolated and without friends who can effectually aid thetn. So long as the misunderstanding continues, we can only await the time ot their awak nlng to a realisation to the actual fact. We cannot thrust our good offices upon them; the situation must be given a Uttl more time to work Itself out In the new circumstances; and I believe that only a little while will be necessary. For Uie circumstances are new. The rejection of our friendship makes them new and will Insvitably bring Its own alterations In the whole aspect of affairs. The actual situ ation ot the authorities at Mexico City will presently be revealed. Period ot Waltlnsr Here. ' Meanwhile, what Is It our duty to do? Clearly, everything that we do must bo rooted in patience and done with calm and disinterested deliberation. Impa tience on our part would be childish and would be fraught with every risk of wrong and folly. Wo can afford to exer cise the self-restraint of a really great nation, which realizes its own strength and scorns to misuse It It was our duty to offer our active assistance. It Is now our duty to show what true neutrality will do to enable the people of Mexlw to set their affairs In order again and wait for a further opportunity to offr our friendly, counsels. The door Is oot closed against the resumption either on the In itiative of Mexico or of our own, of .ho effort to bring order out of contusion by friendly c-operatlve action, should for tunate occasion offer. Vrmen Americans to Leave. "While we wait th contest of the rival forces will undoubtedly for a little while be sharper than ever, Just because it will be plain that an end must be made of the existing situation and that very promptly, and with the increased activity ot the contending factions will come. It ts to be feared, Increased danger to tho non- combatant In Mexico, as well as to those actually In the field of battle. Tho poci- tion of outsiders Is always particularly trying and full of hazard where thero Is civil strife and a whole country Is upset ve snouia earnestly urge all Americana to leave Mexico at once, and should as sist them to get away In every way pos- siDie not because we would nwan to slacken In the least our efforts to safe guard their lives and their interests, but Because it Is imperative that they should take no unnecessary risks when It is physically possible for them to leave the country. We should let every one' who seems to exercise authority In any part of Mexico know In the most unequivocal way that wo shall watch the fortunes of thoso Americana who cannot" ret aw. and shall hold those responsible for their suffering and losses to a definite reck onlng. That can and will be made plain beyond the possibility of n misunder standing. Will Proclaim Neutrality "For the rest I deem It my dutr to exercise the authority conferred on rro by tho law of March 14, 1912, to se to it that neither side to the struggle now ffolng on In Mexico receive any assistance from this side of the border. I shall fol low the best practice of nations in the matter of neutrality by forbidding thu exportation of arms or munitions of wa of any kind from the United States to any part of the republlo of Mexlp policy suggested by several interesting precedents and certainly dictated by many manliest considerations of practical ex pediency. We cannot In the circum stances bo the partisans of either party to uie contest that now distracts Mexico or constltuto ourselves the virtual um pire between them." 'I am happy to soy that several of the great governments of the world have given this government their generous moral support in urging on the .provi sional authorities at the City of Mexico tho acceptance of our proftrred good of fices In the spirit in which they were made. We have not acted In this matter under the ordinary principles of Inter national obligation. All the world expects us In such circumstances to act as Mex ico's nearest friend and intimate adviser. This is our Immemorial relation towards It There 1b nowhere any serious ques tion that we have the moral right In the case or that we are acting In tho Inter est of a fair settlement and Of good 'gov ernment not for the promotion of some selfish Interest ot our own.

HUERTA'S REPLY TO WILSON (Continued from Page One.) for many reasons which cannot escape the perspicacity of the government of the United States of America, which, to this day, and publicly at least has classed them as rebels lust the same as we have. And It is an accepted doctrine that no armistice can be concerted with rebels." Hnerta Will Not Withdraw. Scnor Gamboa declares that free elec tions are guaranteed by law and that no fear need be felt that these laws will not be enforced. "The request that General Vlctoriano Huerta should agree not to appear as a candidate for the presidency of the republlo In tho coming election cannot bo taken Into consideration, because aside from its strange and unwarranted char acter, there Is a risk that the same might be Interpreted as a matter of personal dislike-" He declares that the legality ot the gov ernment of General Huerta cannot be dis puted, under the Mexican constitution. "The point of issue is exclusively one of constitutional law, In which no foreign nation, no matter how powerful and re spectable It may be, should mediate In the least" he saya. 'The confidential agent may believe that solely because of the sincere esteem In which tho people and the government of tho United States of America are held by the people and the government of Mcxlco.my government consented to take Into consideration and to answer as briefly aa the matter permltB, the repre sentations of which you are the bearer.
