Address The Observer, Dallas, Ore Oliil- Medical Inspection for School dren. Your attention is being call d to the attempts being made oil the part cf the medical profession to establish a system of medical surveillance over the children in . the public schools, Boards of education are being asked to spend the public money for this purpose, most of the arguments in its favor being based on the false pre. mise that materia mediaea is a science and can make diseased children well and defective children perfect if the public will pay the bill. It must be apparent that medical inspection has no place in our public school systems. It cannot accomplish what it claims, as shown by statistics from Chicago, Boston, and New York where it has been tried for a number of years. It tends to create fear in the minds of the children and so make them more susceptible to disease. It invades the parental relationship and confers upon the government privileg es which properly belong to the par ents alone. Then too, by adopting such a policy the government becomes supporter of the theories of one school of medicine and helps to es tablish In the minds of the young its material beliefs. Little public de mand is found for such a system and when its weaknesses are pointed out to parents and taxpayers strong pp position usually deveops. Under our state laws no authority confered on school Voards to in stitute medical school inspection and any attempt on their behalf to do so can properly be opposed by all citizens who are awake to their rights, and especially by those who see the njustice of giving public aid to a lystem which poisons the minds of the young with the fears and falsities of medical beliefs. In Portand an attempt has been made in the last few weeks by the City Halth Department and by the Board of Education to establish an eaborate system of medical inspection. Both attempts were frustrated by prompt and strong protest on the part of those awake to the true meaning of the system. ' Portland will have in 1014 only the superficial examination of children for contagious diseases now being done by the City Health Department under its police power. There is serious question to the city's right to go even this far. K. B. Kngel. Observer Want Ads Pay Barnaul Looks Good for Red Job. "Barham, a sturdy young Orego- nian, who finished with Victoria last year, will get a tryout with Cincinnati and if he does not make good both San Francisco and Los Angeles will have in claims for him. Mike Lynch and Bert Delmas, who are now in Cal ifornia, have been singing the praises of the young man. Barham is hard ly ripe for the big league, but he has a lot of ability and is young enough to learn. He hails from Dallas, Ore gon and struck Wattelet for a job one day when the Victoria team was in Portland. He was told to report to' the park the next day, and Danny Shea and Meek warmed np to him. It did not take tbem long to discover that the boy had a lot of stuff, so Wattelet signed him and was not a bit sorry afterward. A year or two in fast minor league will put the finish in; touches on Barham and make a good pitcher out of him. Spokane Spokesman.

By Dean Colins in Oregonian There was a sound of deviltry night, And Copperfield was. going oni the hum; Gay was the court, if all reports are right That thronged the palaces of Demon Rum; They say the citizens were going some, And "Wine, red wine!" they oried with all their might, Nor heard the rumble of the distant drum. passed on. The town The hours awoke, That bright scene was her last. The wan-faced bouncers left their jobs, And screamed: "She comes, Miss Hobbs, Miss Hobbs!" They woke to see the joints they love, Closed by the order of the Gov. And saw his lady envoy shove The Mayor his message grim; Duck while the duckling's good! You re canned! This present by my seal and hnnd Will make you clearly understand If the militia takes a hand Your chances will be slim." The militia came down like a wolf on the fold; And it looked like the knell for the Council had tolled, Till it got into action to have the law function And flashed on the Colonel a formal injunction. The time may come," the Colonel says, "To talk of all those things, But now the law, it's dignity Inch round about it clings, Must be respected duly," And his voice with firmness rings As he tears the court's injunction up And down the fragments flings. Militiamen of Oregon, Oh stubborn hearts of oak, Don't flinch but do your duty now, Though you may have to croak, We'll cram the Governor's behest Down the resister's throat." But what the dust is all about, Is not quite clear to me. Why are the files parading out With bay 'nets flashin' freef 'Hanged if I know," my soul about 'But 'tis a glorious victory." did Owing to the recent hesvy rains the Rickreall creek was filled to a high stage yesterday overflowing its banks in places. It has not been as high for some time past. Summons. In the circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Polk. Dallas National Bank, a corpora tion, riaintur. vs. Warren .
