Gramophone Exercises For

Schoolchildren.

Preliminary tests on the hearing for children in one of the L.C.C. schools have been carried out on behalf of the Council by the Lon- don School of Hygiene and Tropi- cal Medicine.

The method, which makes use of gramophone record and head- phones, has only recently been in- troduced into England by workers at the School. If the same pra- portion of deafness is revealed us has already been recorded by the same workers among the school children of Hornsey, it is estimated that 30,000 children from the L.C.C. schools must be in need of medical attention from this cause. In the school laboratories I sub- mitted myself to the standard test and succeeded in establishing that

CAIRO RIOTS.

TWO BRITISH ENGINEERS WOUNDED.

TEN PERSONS KILLED.

Cairo, Yesterday. The elections of first degree delegates, who will eventually re- turn the members of Parliament, opened this morning.

Serious trouble occurred in the Bulak and Shubra quarters, where railway and arsenal work- ers are striking. Mobs at Bulak attacked and burnt tramcars and buses, and attempted to bur- ricade the streets, pulling down lamp posts. The police were obliged to fire, and it is reported that many rioters were killed.

The movement has spread to the Suplich quarter, near the main railway station.

Also by the gramophone system, 40 children enn be tested in minutes, whereas the usual tests would occupy about 200 minutes. The seriousness of the problem, he added, was best illustrated by the high number of rejections of Army recruits for; middle-ear trouble, which is the greatest individual cause of medical rejection.
