Medical inspection of tbe school chil- dren of Wllmette Is a question just now agitating the people of that -vil- lage. A privately published paper called Toe Wllmette Citizen, which was circulated with the Sunday morn- ing papers this week states that Thk Lakk Shore News favor* the inspec- tion system which has been adopted by tbe village board of education, and I* seeking "to put it over" the people who pay the taxes there. The Citizen tells the truth in one regard at least, for this publication does favor the medical inspection sys- tem is public schools in Wllmette, in Evanston, and every place where there are public schools and where innocent and healthy children may be protect- ed from unnecessary exposure to Infec- tion with diseases from other children whose parents, either ignorantly or carelessly, permit their little ones to attend school when they are not well. | After stating that this newspaper |v undertakes to create public sentiment ||g In favor of legislation and regulations which it champions "under tbe guise of public good," Mr. Bkbtbam B. Udell, editor of Tbe Wllmette Citizen, says: ljffc;; |n this particular case the law #|ls on the side of the citisen, but fe£tbat apparently makes no dlffer- Ifjmce to Tine Newsâ€"they believe in pptaving their own way regardless |||!»f law. and order. |||n: another paragraph of the. first page of his Interesting venture Into the field of journalism, this enterpris- ing citisen of Wllmette says: lip â- â- The point Is, it (meaning medi- cal inspection of schools) is con- trary to the laws of the state. â- ."". Just bow the school board hap- pened to make* the rule in the face Of the law I do not know. . ."I am not criticising them any more than the passage of the rule is ft '^criticism in Itself. . . I am un- willing to stand for an unlawful role in the conduct of our public .;#^oo*s..-fi-'Sr These few quotations from Mr tboss rights. The League la en- gaged in conducting a national fight against compulsory medical Inspection in tbo public schools. When there 1b no law, as In Illi- nois, requiring such a thing, Is there any reason why a citizen should not object to submitting to the medical inspection of his child? It will bo noted that even the "league" does not say that medical- in- spection is llb-nal, but that "there is no law requiring such action," and tbe natural infercrue is that Mr. Umnx, in an effort to prevent having his chil- dren examined by order of tbe public school pervert* the facts and say* »uch examination is illegal. It will be nofd, too, that the secre- tary of the league, whom Mr. Umax quotes, and Mr. Uwsu. himself, lay es- pecial streas on the fact that the in- spection Is to be made by "a physician he had no choice in selecting," when $M a matter of fact, the rule read* as follows, and was so printed by T«M Lake Shows Newt* and so reprinted by Mr. Uoell on page two of The Citisen. <Note the black lines, which are our own, and are used for the purpose of emphasis.) At the opening of school on Sept. 8 the absolute requirement of a certificate from the *chool Inspector or »ny other reputable physician will be made before a pupil may enroll In our school*, and the same requirement will be made before a pupil may re-enter school after an absence of three days or more from any illness. By this It will be seen that Mr. Udku, and the secretary of tbe league have both wilfully misstated the facts, for the requirement expressly provides that a certificate frc NOW GIVE BUILDING ji Mm Infbrmatforr Is Received That the Professor Will Build a $100,000 Building for History Department. mm EXPECT BIG ENROLLMENT trntit's circular newspaper would In dlcatethat the gentiemgnjb^jaslng his whole objection on the alleged fact thAt tbe action of the board is not le- ial, and evidently he founds his per- |ional assumption that the role Is not fiscal on a Miter;addressed to Tim Skosb Nxws by the *ecretary of th« National league for Medical Free- ;SOSB.

It would seem that this statement alone would be enough to put Mr. Udeix in his true light before the peo- ple of Wllmette, but It would not be enough to close this statement with- out quoting from a letter dated at Springfield, III., May 13, 1918, and signed by Fiuscia G.

D. Harris, 1* to be erected at the Northwestern university this fall according to information which ha* come to The Lake Shore New* from friends of tbe authorities of the institution. The new structure will be.one of the flrat to be erected under tbe recently adopted "campus beautt- fur scheme, and will be one of the finest and best that can be con- structed. The building will be located directly north of Lunt library and will face on Cook street, west of Swift Hall of En- gineering. While definite plans have not yet been announced it I* stated that the architectural design of the history building wttV probably deter* mine the general style to be followed out In the more beautiful campus plan. One of the features* it Is un- derstood, will be tbe perfected light- ing scheme. • vij p^f|- Oreat Need for Bulldlrig. The need of a splendid fctructufe to house tbe students In the history de- partment at Northwestern has been felt for many year*. More than BOO student* are now enrolled In the his- tory cputscs offered at the big lnstito- tlon and because of there being no building large enough to accommodate the large classes, they have been forced to meet in divisions In the Lunt library and University hall buildings. With the erection of the superb new building, the course in history no doubt will be made one of the most attractive section* of in- struction offered at the unlversltr. 'V'-'jfauW^'l^^ .ift-lny the staie of Maine and detailed infor- mation'concerning the latest gift in tbe shape of a building to the uni- versity could not be eUcttSd" Jrdtn other officials. Secretary Burg, in the president's.offlee, stated that no Infor- mation concerning the new building could be given out just now;* but that within a week some definite statement could probably be made. '!>; $$$?!$ 'Were; Non-committal........ Dean Thomas F. Holgate and Prof. James A. James, head of the history department, were both non-committal on the plan for tbe new building and •tated that any Information concern- ing the gift of the structure would have to come from President Harris or from someone In his office.
