Various estimates have been made by specialists on the physical condition of school children, all of which tends to show that of the 20.000,000 school children enrolled in the United States at least 15,000,000 today are in need of atfor phasical defects. tention, Thomas H.

Wood, professor of physical education at Teachers' College, Columbia University, has made the following classification of our 000,000 school children: About five per cent, or 1,000,000 have spinal curvature, flat foot or some other moderate deformity serious enough to interfere to some degree with health. About five per cent or 1,000,000, huve defective hearing. About 25 per cent, or 5,000,000 have defective vision. About 16 per cent, or 5,000,000, are suffering from malnutrition in many cases due in part at least to one or more of the other defects enumerated. Over 30 per cent, or 6,000,000, have enlarged tonsils, adenoids.

Chattanooga, May Within a few days large forces of men will begin putting up decoratons which are to greet the Confederate veterants, who assemble in annual reunion here May 27-29, and will incidently celebrate the semi-centennial of the battle of Chickmauga and other Chattanooga engagements.

Also the work of putting up thousands of extra lights throughout the business district will begin about the same time. When the first visitors arrive, Chattanooga will be a brilliant scene, with Confederate flags, bunting, pictures on canvas of the famous Confederate generals, and other appropriate materials flaunting in every breeze: at night, the entire downtown section ablaze with myriad lights, those of permanent character and. specially crected for the occasion. in larg: numbers, adding to the gaiety and brilliance of the scene. Aside from strings of light along the sidewalk.

many buildings will be completely outlined with streamers of lights as there is widespred interest in making the entire city do proper honor to the veterans. Camp A. P. Stewart is complete as far as it can be made so at a date considerably ahead of the reunion. All the tents are up, the big dining room tent in place, the commissary and kitchen facilities about completed.

The big camp, where 10,000 or many more if necessary of the veterans can be accommodated, is parolled day and night for safety of the property which is on the ground. With the adjustment of the railroad from west of the Mississippi river veterans and friends in the southeastern territory may feel sure of seeing thousands of the Texans and others from the Trans-Mississippi Department during the reunion. The western linesh aving succumbed to the storm of protest, the rate is just the same for the western veterans other reunion visitors 118 for those who are coming from the southeastern states- one cent a mile each way. Reunion tickets may be extended thirty days by, depositing them with a special agent here. This will allow only a lengthy visit in Chattanooga, that is necessary to thoroughly enjoy all the sights, but will permit side trips to points in adjacent states at exceedingly low rates.

This should prove a great inducement especially to persons whose former homes are in the southeast, or who have relatives in this section. or who wish to visit a particular city before returning to the West. The same is true to a large degree of people who come from compartively near and wish to take more of a trip than to Chattanooga. Favorable action on the part of the southwestern lines means that from the entire territory which naturally sends hundreds or thousands of visitors from every locality to each reunion, the same rate to which the veterans and their friends have been accustomed will apply for the 1913 reunion in Chattanooga.
