DR.. L. NJ Roberts addressed the

morning on the prevention Of disease
AND various principles.
In his talk he stated that the recent
holocaust in Co]linwood school in
Cleveland, with all its horrors, did
not destroy near az many young lives
as disease did in the schools of the
nation. And his tslt subsequently
was on the care that should be given
to the eye s, the nose, the ears and the
month to prevent disease, as these
organs without proper care become
peculiar avenues of disease germs to
the blood. He stated that If each
person would take more care of these
particular organs and their teeth q
good deal would be accomplished in
the avoidance of dieease, and con-
seq1ently there would be less work
left to the boards or health.
