NEWELL IS
County Superintendant Works Out
System of Medical Inspection
for Pupils in Rural Schools
of Grady County
With medical inspection of the pu-
pils in common schools proving one of
the greatest factors In increased effic-
iency in the educ'tonal system of the
I'nited States but with no funds with
which to carry out the work in Grady
county County Supt (!. F Newell is
working out a plan by which every
common school pupil in the county will
receive medical inspection and that
without additional cost to the county.
Mr. Xewell's plan is to have the
teachers of the schools examine each
pupil under her tor defects in hearing
or sight for adenoids throat trouble
or defective teeth and report to his
I office to the child's parents and to
the county physician the results of
the examination.
If the trouble is serious enough to
require an examination by a practic-
ing physician the examination will be
given by the county physician and if
the parentj are not able to have the
('.iiui's health attended to. the case
will be reported to the county to bp
done at county expense.
"It is a recognized fact" Supt.
Xewell said tlrs morning while dis-
cussing the plan "that one of the
greatest causes for inefficiency in our
educational system lies in the fact
that a large per cent of the pupils at-
ttnding schocl have defective eye-
sight or hearing adenoids or decayed
te-eth. It has been found that nearly
all eases of pupils being unable to
carry on their work of their 'hating
to study' and dropping out of school
is the result of some of these physi-
cal defects. I believe tbat with th

adequate as it may be we can in many
communities double the efficiency of
our common schools."'
'I he news ol Mr. Newell's plan lias
already spread over the state and he
is receiving many requests from coun-
ty superintendents for the details of
his plan.

Telegram by United rr
Washiagtoa Sept. 4. TUe success
of the administration's Mexican policy f
Is about to be prored. '
This was the substance of William;
liayard Hale's personal report today
to the president. f
H is understood that Hale reported
tbat despite the flamboyant tone of
Gamboa's vote Huerta "saved his face" t
n pfi.
and Is now looking for a graceful
means of accepting Wilson's demand I
that be Khali not be a presidential
candidate. I
Secretary Bryan was present at the
conference with Halo and was pleased f
by the report. Officials heer believp I
Huerta is planning to anounce defi-
nitely that he will not be a candidate I
and also that he may resign the pro-
visional presidency If hf fi
ly successor. t
Administration officials revealed
last night that the optimism they haw frt
Mr in the last few days over tin-
Mexican smuuiuii has been based upon
what they have construed as an indi- f
rect. assurance of Vleforiano Huerta s
Intention not to be a candidate for
tiie presidency of .Mexico at tiie Octo- :
her elections. f
Much slress was laid at the White
Flouse and in other official quarters I
on the assertions of Fedorico Gamboa jj
Mexican minister of foreign affairs in
his last note to John Lind pointing
out the ineligibility of Huerta under .
the Mexican constitution to become a I
candidate 'to succeed himself. While I
the administration here docs not er- I
ftard Huerta as the constitutionally
chosen provisional president of Mex- i
ico and therefore does not consider f
him necessarily bound by restriction I
in thia connection they admittedly see
in tlie Gamboa note a favorable an f
swer to the chief American proposal t
tbat Huerta shall not be a candidate t
in the forthcoming elections.
By some diplomats and among the
constitutionalists here the view is !
held however that thp pnnsH'iiMnnnj
prohibition against Huerta's candi-
ilacy would eusily be evaded by bis
resignation in favor of another pro-
visional president some time befor
the election. I
Administration officials who realize
that such a eont.iige'nty is possible be-
lieve nevertheless Senor Gamboa -was j
acting in good faith in his declaration f
that the candidacy of Huerta had not f
been raised as an issue in Mexico be-
fore the United States brought it into j
tlie discussion that they both hart
taken into consideration his ineiigtbit-
iiy for the presidency and had not. i-
Itiunched any pnmpalgn for him.
Outside of administration quarters I
however much significance is attach- I
eii io i'n roiMHinve!iifnt in concur? o; -
various ofticiala and sp"rti-orf!e1;H
newspapers in Mexico City a few dayi (
ago that Huerta would now b Cfvn-
pelled to be a candidate because be I
bad successfully defied the United f
States In the Lind negotiations. i
High officials of the administration
stated most emphatically that they
felt quite satisfied of Huerta's elim
ination from the presidential race. His
subsequent election would not after f
the attitude of tlie United Stares vk .
that recognition could not b1 y.tend-
ed to hiin. Their action would bo ;
'Jiised on tiie precedent of Ir'SiNtt
