Puts Health Before Learning
“If it were a choice between health
and education. I would select health.
Make the child healthy: then educate
him." was the terse comment by Dr.
T. R Abercrombie, inspector for the
State Board of Health, before the
association this morning
“The child’s health comes before
every thing else; conditions that sur
round him and the condition of his
physical being for the development of
his mental qualities are most impor
tant factors." he continued. "Too often
the child has been developed mentally
when his ohyaica] part was absolutely
unfit. The great problem lies In mak
ing him fit physically and then to de
velop his mentality.
‘A rigid campaign along this line
1s what is needed. Teachers have
been educated to the need of health
among children. It remains for the
State to follow up this work.”
Dr. Abercrombie’s address was lis
tened to attentively. One of the
strongest features of the Georgia Ed
ucational Association since its organ
ization has been the promotion of
. Children’s health.

McAdoo and McCombs
I President Brought Two Leaders To
gether on Recent Trip, It Is
Just Learned.
WASHINGTON. May 3.-Tired, but
confident that his trip to New Jersey
will be productive of good results in
connection with jury reform. Presi
dent Wilson returned to Washington
early to-day and at once went to the
White House, where he attacked a
large amount of routine work which
had accumulated In his absence.
One of the incidents of the trip
which afforded the President much
sat is fact ion and which did not become
known until to-day was his meeting
in New York with National Chairman
William K. McCombs and Secretary
McAdoo of the Treasury Department,
at the home of Colonel E. M. House.
It was the first time that Chairman
McCombs and Secretary McAdoo, wiio
was vice chairman, had met since the
early days of the campaign. Differ
ences of opinion as to the manage
ment of the campaign were said o
have existed between the two men,
though their relations with Mr. Wil
son were always of a warm cordiality.

New York Justice Does Not Take Standpatters Against Findings of
Taft Tariff Board; Progres
sives Favor Them.
i
WASHINGTON, May 3.—Discussion
of the wool schedule to-day showed
the Republicans divided over the
question of what sort of a substitute
should be offered for the Underwood
rat- s in Schedule K.
Standpatters believed the report of
the tariff hoard too indefinite to base
an accurate scale of tariff duties upon
it, while the progressive faction In
sisted that as the Republicans were
declaring for a tariff commission they
should accept without equivocation
the findings of the Taft tariff board.
The Progressives took the stand
that the Payne rate© on wool were
too high and they supported the Dem
ocratic rates.
Representative Gardner of Massa
chusetts. Republican, who has been
leading the fight for tarilT revision
based on the findings of the tariff
board, declared he believed that the
Underwood rates on the better grades
of woolen cloth were too low.
Democratic Leader Underwood in
tend© to keep the House in suspense
until late to-night, and it is probable
that before adjournment is taken th* 1
House will have completed all the
schedules except the free list.
