p MEDICAL TEST IN SCHOOLS IS Health Commissioner Balders- ton in Annual Report fori 912 Emphasizes Importance of Great Work. 305 DEATHS DURING YEAR Mortality Shows Increase Over Previous Twelve Months Due to Number of Deaths From Old Age. Featured in the annual report of the health department of Evanston for the year of 1912, which has Just been filed by Commissioner Balderston with the city council, are the results accom- plished by the medical examination of pupils In the public schools under the supervision of the health commission- er. Much other interesting and Im- portant data concerning the status of health In Evanston is contained in the report, but nothing stands out more prominently than the review of the medical test In the local schools. The crowning feature of the report on the medical examination of school pupils 1b that 157 pupils who were suf- fering from or had been exposed to attacks of contagion were removed from school, thus preventing In a large degree any serious epidemic. Brief Resume of Work. A brief resume of the work conduct- ed by Dr. Mary Brooks Baird, medical Inspector in schools, shows that In the routine physical examination It •was found that 459 children had de- fective vision and 71 defective hear- ing. Other common defects were 1,241 with enlarged tonsils and 2,267 with defective teeth. The Inspector . advised, treatment in 351 cases, mostly surgical, and of these 217 actually re celved treatment No record was kept . on the treatment for defective teeth. â€" Each of the ten public school build- ings were visited dally by Dr. Mary .J.';Brooka Baird except when reports from the school authorities rendered 'â- ^jm&n0fM unnecessary. The co-opera- •>: ,;:*lon of the principals and teachers in ' the Inspection greatly aided in getting satisfactory results. ' Among the recommendations made Ay the medical inspector is the send- ing home of pupils who appear at the aehool clad tn dirty clothing or whose bodies are not kept clean. Of the needs for success In the examinations Dr. Baird suggests a more strict en- forcement of the code requiring; vacci- nation and also the establishment of a dental clinic. She also urges that some means of transportation be pro- for the inspector end school which would greatly facilitate *fce work. | Typhoid Epidemic Last Fall. I •. Dr. Belderston gives a short review of the typhoid epidemic which pre- vailed tn Evanston last October, when I, l^rahtar casei of the disease were re- jjaorted. He shows by statistics quoted that the rate has been materially do creaaed since the lake water has been treated with hypochlorite. In • lengthy statement concerning inves- tigations conducted.

The directors of the Kvanston Play- ground association met last night and planned work for the spring and sum- mer. Plans for several smaller play- grounds were dlsrussed and these were placed with a committee to In- vestigate. The Mason Park playground will be opened April l. The association has appointed Edward Bushy director for the coming season. The park will be enlarged and new apparatus in forms of traveling rings will he Installed. Another feature of the park will be the sand courts and wading pool for the smaller children, who are to have a large portion of the grounds set aside for their exclusive use. The plan of the association Is to give to the children of Evanston an extensive system of playgrounds and three new parks probably will be opened soon. The hours for the play- grounds will be arranged later to ac- commodate all the "kiddles" in the city. In order to extend the system, re- pair and enlarge the present grounds. $3,000 will be necessary. A campaign to obtain this amount has been planned and the workers will begin a canvass soon. The association Intends to use schoolgrounds for extending the park syBtem and just what grounds are to be used has not been decided. Should the campaign for the $3,000 prove a failure ,tbe association will carry on their work according to the amount they are able to obtain from the voluntary contributions.

I Officers for the year will he elected in the annual meeting of the Efvsaav ton Humane society, Tuesday after- noon, April 1. Reports of the various officers will be read in the meeting; and plans made tor the activities of the society for the coming year. The re- tiring officers are: President.- Mrs. Merle F. Bshhaugh; vice-president, Mrs. Frederick Arndt; secretary, Mrs- Emma Rosine. and treasurer, P. <!. Scheldenheim. The year just closing has been marked with much good work. Under the leadership of Mrs. Merle F. Bsh- haugh, the various department heads and workers have accomplished much in keeping down cruel and InhW"1*" treatment to dumb animals. Many prosecutions have been conducted and although convictions have not always been secured, the workers feel that they have curbed the disgraceful prac- tice by many teamsters and other drivers of horses. Mrs. Eshbaugh will not he a candi- date for re-election. She is not A believer in perpetuity In office, even In a society of this kind, and has destined to allow her name to be submitted again to vote. Of the other officers, Mr. Scheldenheim, the treasurer, no doubt will be unanimously re-elected. After an exciting chase which ex- tended for more than a mile across pastures, muddy fields and Toads, John Jinock, 19 years old, residing at 1013 Dewey avenue, Evanston, was arrested Monday afternoon b> Patrolman Win. Lanning on a charge of distributing beer improperly sealed in Evanston. The "run" attracted much attention of persons residing in Church street and a Tumor was circulated that some heinous crime had been committed. It all happened like this: Policeman Lanning saw Jinock and a companion driving a horse down Church street and as Lanning had some trouble with Jinock's companion the day before, he thought he would follow them. The youth was suspect- ed of having something to do with various liquor deals carried on among the foreigners in Evanston. When Jinock saw the policeman fol- lowing them he whipped up his horse and started on a run toward the city limits. But Lanning was not to be taken tn by what he called a couple of "wise guys." Jumping on his bi- cycle the officer cut across streets and met the men going down Dewey ave- nus. Seeing Lanning upon them Jinock again spurred the horse. When he reached the muddy roads he threw out a gunny sack full of beer bottles. Af- ter he was relieved of the burden Ji- nock thought it best to take a chance and run for freedom. He jumped out of the buggy. The chase started across the prai- ries with Jinock running like a deer. But he soon gave, up the attempted es- cape and fell forward on bis face, ask- ing for mercy when Lanning fired two shots In the air. In order to complete his evidence against Jinock It was necessary that Lanning bring back the sack of beer bottles which were laying half burled in a mud hole. Lanning thought too much of his shoes and sent Jinock's companion after the sack. The "companion" never "came hack" running the horse out of the police- man's sight. Jinock was brought to the police station and later released on a $100 bond. His case was let for Saturday before Justice Boyer.
