COLONEL MITCHELL'S ULTIMATE FATE.
TIJE court martini of Colonel Jliltiliell is, over hh fur us publifi
interest is concerned, 'Die liciiring from now on is mere
routine denial by individuals Vlio, while they may be experts in
theory, are defendants in fact.
Colouel Mitchell 's condemnation
the army and navy air administration. Naturally the entire per
sonnel denies the truth of the air critic's charges.'
The final authority, as to which side in the controversy is right,
rests with the members of the court martiul, who must either con
demn Mitchell or condemn themselves, for they all directly or indi
rectly, represent the system which Colonel Mitchell attacks.
The final repudiation of Jlitehell, therefore, may be taken as a
matter of course. Whether the court martial concludes tomorrow
tr u w;ck from tomorrow, the result will be the same.
There is, therefore, uo reason to .modify the predictions made
in this column, several weeks ago. Ju making charges against his
superior officers, Colonel Mitchell unquestionably violated the rules
of the game, and from a tcch'niciil standpoint, is guilty of insubordi
nation. " Official condemnation, therefore, will be technically just. But
Ji.nal judgment will rest not with the court martial, but witli public
opinion. And in our judgment, enough evidence has been introduced
by Colonel Mitchell, Admiral Sims, the world fliers, and olhe'r
prominent aviators, to justify the action wheih brought ubout the
original explosion. ' ,

perutc in his language, but it required insubordination, ami strong
language, to arouse the people of the country to the gravity of the
situation. -
Whether the conditions are as bad as Colouel Mitchell believes,
is after all, beside the point. That conditions were not and are
not satisfactory, everyone concedes and Colonel Mitchell, and no
one else, will be responsible for
be carried out. .
The probaltle.rhi fuet, almost

A good mother who was formerly a
teacher and is now a member of the
board of education tells how morti
fied she was when, on visit Ini? the
school one -of her boys attended, she
learned that the teachers considered
the boy rather backward or dull In
short a dumb bell, as he would be
called nowadays. Motherlike, she took
th- boy to the doctor, who found faul
ty vision. The boy had astigmatism
of high degree, and the tforrectlon of
this with glasses kooh enabled him to
catch up with his class and maintain
a good record thereafter In his studies.
A lot of "backward" children, "not
very bright" in school, nre perfectly
normul lacntully. but so hanlicapped
by neglected physical defects that
they haven't aVhanee. '
The ucw. fangled school medical In
spection purports to detect such phys
ical defects in the school children and
to Initiate steps to bring about cor
rection, and this it does in a very lim
ited haphazard way. which is all that
we can reasonably expect for the in
significant fraction of school money
appropriated Xoo medical inspection
In the schools o . - .
Tho backwardness of children with
hlicJi obstruction, to breathing as un
remedied chrome rhinitis, enlarged
tonsils or udenolds, has been harped
uijon tfo long that a legend has de
veloped in the teacher's mind, to the
effect that a certain dullness of ex
pression, particularly open mouth,
narrow upper jajv and short upper lip
and perhaps protruding upper teeth.
dark circles under tho eyes and a
pinched look about the nose, betrays
the presence of adenoids. This Is true
only in a few cases: In most cases of
adenoids such a facial picture is not
present, and the picture may Just as
well occur from simple chronic rhini
tus, sinusitis, or other nasal obstruc
tion, or from faulty development of
the teeth. Unfortunately a good many
adenoid operations have been under
taken on such guess work, of course
with disappointing effects; on the
other hand,, a good many children
have suffered permanent injury from
unrecognized adenoids because they
have not rduiwn this legendary "ade
noid face." In schools where school
medical Inspection is practiced In
good fallh. of course no nolo goes
home to the parents recommending an
adenoid operation unless the physi
cian has himself seen or felt the ade
noid enlargement In the space up be
hind (he soft palate. Hut In schools
where the proper medical Inspector's
duties are delegated to nurses or even
teachers, not a few false diagnosis of
adenoids are made nnd surgeons in
clinics where such children are oper
ated upon in wholesale fashion arc
still. Importuned to attempt an unnec
essary operation on many a poor pu
pil. This is 0110 of the deplorable
evils which are bound to creep in
when the slate attempts to practice
medicine on tho wholesale or cut rate
plan.
A child with a large defect of vis
Ion naturally seems more or less
'dumb" or backward In m-honl, for
the simple reason that he cannot sec
things clearly, and a larne part of the
early education of the child Is visual
education. A child with moderately
large defect of vision may have
"strong looking" eyes and betray no
expresslson of "strain" by which an
MUnnry ooser.ver -would notice the
difficulty. Kvery school child ought
to be required to have a certain mini
mus visual efficiency, as measured by
the instructor In tho department of
physical education assuming the.
school Is modern enough to have an
adequate depurtment of physical edu
cation. The child with aotuc such obstruc
tion of breathing ns 1 mentioned
above tttot necessarily ndenoids or
enlarged tonsils) is likely lo suffer a
lefect of hearing and by reason of
that to seem somewhat stupid, for
this Interferes with another of the
main avenues through which a child
learns.
These are Just common examples of
the way "dumb bells" are made.
There are many other equally stupid

de Beaiharnais and Napoleon
Bonaparte, then an obscure young

the passing of 13 years, during
which Napoleon's ambition had be

for state reasons to marry a prin
