KRliSEN GIVES ADVICE
i
f.S SCHOOLS REOPEN
director of Health Declares De
fective Hearing and Sight
Will Impair Progress
With thr reopening of schools, Dr.
ivjlmer Krusen, director of health and
cWaritie.i, urges parents to give par
ticular attention to the heftltii o( their
children. ,
"Defective vision must be corrected
if the child is expected to keep ,up with
lts studies and to maintain the same
Standard ai the normal child," says
"Doctor Krusen. "flood hearing Is also
essential to the child who receives oral
Instruction, acd many cases of back
wardness are primarily due to defects
of hearing. Diseased tonsils and ade
noids are responsible for no small num
ber of cases of illness among children,
more especially during the school term.
By having them removed at an early
date we permit the child a better op
portunity to combat the diseases of
childhood.
"Of no less importance are the teeth.
We cannot hope to improve the phy-
' sical state of the. school children unless
their food is properly masticated by
sound. healthy teeth. Infections
through the mouth often have their
beginning in carious teeth. .
''The Board of Hducatlon maintains.
tinder eupcrvision of the Department of
v Public Health, an elaborate system of
school medical inspection. Every child
who attends school riust undergo a
eomQlcte physical examination and par
ents are. notified of defects which need
immediate correction."

ment exceeded last year's figures by

- MAN SHOT BY BANDITS DIES
, N
Quarry femploye Said to Have Iden
tified Payroll Robbers
Tony Albro, thirty-eight years old,'
.17 Queen street, one of the employes
of the Hunt Quarry Company, Har
rowgatc and Fisher's lanes, who were
shot by masked highwaymen on Sat
urday and robbed of the company pay
roll of $025, is dead.
Albeo died yesterday in the Episco
pal Hospital, but not until he had
identified two men under irrcst as his
assailants, the police say. The two
suspects are Tony dl Itocco, thirty
years old, Tenth street near Washing
ton avenue, and Pasquale di .Martini,
Ninth street near Federal.
Pasquale Slnilello, the other man shot
by the bandits, is expected to recover.
lie also identified the two suspects
as his assailants.- The two men have
been held without ball to await the
.. action of the coroner.
Strikes of bricklayers and other
workmen seriously interfered with the
opening of public schools in all sec
tions 6f the city today. v
In many instances schools equipped
to carry pupils on full-day schedules
were compelled to make last minute
shifts and go on half tini.
Appeals to the workmen in a mim
b,cr of cases to finish their jobswcre in
vain. They asserted they were bound
by union orders to quit work. Unfin
ished work at the .lohn II. Webster
school, Frankfort! avenue and Ontario
street, caused 1400 pupils to be placed
on half time. When the teachers and
children reported today they found half
ot tne wall of one of the buildings torn
away.
District Superintendent John h.
Shroy and ( Miss Marian Shaw Peters,
supervising principal, shifted classes
from that part of the school undergoing
repair to other rooms, and to simplify
matters, placed nil pupils on half time.
Unfinished renoirs nt llin AlpYnrwlni
Henry School, Paul and Unity streets, I
Frankford, made It necessary to place
JWO pupils of that school on half time.
Approximately 250.006 children
dressed in Sunday best, gathered up
their pencils and brand new books,
kissed mothers good-bye and trudged
off to austVer the call of the school
bell in 24fi public school houses.
Newcomers Are Welcomed
There were cordial greetings forxtbe
boys and girls who were in school last
year, and little brothers and sisters as
well as newcolncrs to the city were in
troduced to the intricacies of school
life here. Thousands of mothers,
grownup brothers 'nnd sisters accom
panied the little fellows to school for
the enrollment this morning and some
of them remained' to hear the opening
'exercises.
There wasn't any delay in starting.
The enrollment was taken and early
In the day the rooms vcre called to
order. From the elementary schools
patriotic songs were sung. Then books
were taken put and lessons began. All
this week there will be only fialf-duy
sessions. Next week classes will begin
in all seriousness.
Many rooms were crowded almost to
overflowing today until part-time
schedules could be arranged in build
ings where the congestion of pupils was
too great to allow all to attend at the
same time. About fifteen rooms In four
school buildings where repair work is
uncompleted were not open nnd the
pupils were placAl temporarily on part
time. These ore in the McDaniel, Pnt
ton, Webster rind Hoffman schools. The
repairs were delayed by the brick
layers' strike, but John D. Cassell,
superintendent of buildings, says the
work will be completed soon.
More than 25,000 children will be on
part-time schedule again this year, due
to lack of school buildings and partly to
suortage oi teacners.
This shortage, as well as the increased
salary of teachers, transfers nnd new
appointments will be discussed with
other business by the Board of Educa
tion at its meeting tomorrow afternoon.
The-- property committee will rccom
men"u to the board that two new schools
be built in the neighborhood of Hog
Island, iMntli and Oregon streets,
where the board already owns a lot. and
Elmwood avenue, near Seventy-first or
heventy-sccond streets, arc the suggest
ed locations for the new schools.

FEDERAL GRAND JURY MEETS
No "Special" Work for Jurists In
Dry-Law Cases
A laige number of dope peddling

In outlining the duties of the jurors
in the United States District Court
Judge Dickinson said they would not
have any "special" work to do.
Although there arc a great many
cases of wartime violations of the dry
law prosecution of saloonkeepers aud
brewers charged with violation will be
by criminal informations to be filed
by United States District Attorney
Kane. This will relieve, the grand
jury of the work of finding indictments.
It is believed that only liquor vio
