A shade tree on one of Cambridge
City's principal streets has gone into
the sunflower business, not on large
scale, to be sure, but it has gone into
the business. Two nice. healthy. high
ly-colored sunflower stalks have at

their blades reach up high in the
branches. On each stem mods a big

Clyte of old, follow the sun in its

scientists and curbstone wiseacres
account for the phenomenon in this
way:
They say a bird-a little bird once
upon time visited a sunflower and
playfully picked a mouthful of seed
from its saffron face. Then this lit
tie bird scared away and hid itself
in the foliage of the tree. While it
sat on the tree the little bird be-

TRUSTEES HAVE
HEARD WARNING
Are Told School Premises Must
Be in Proper Sanitary Con-
dition for Fall Term.
CHILDREN HAVE CLAIMS.
DR.. HURRY SAYS THEY ARE EN-
TITLED TO GOOD HEALTH AND
TO EVERY CONDITION NEcES-
sARY FOR PRoGRESa

Wayne county township trustees
have received letters from the state
board of health, which in fact are in
the nature of warnings Attention is
called to the necessity of getting all
school houses and premises in condi-
tion by the time the fall term OF
school begins.
1.-THE children are entitled to every
condition of good health" says Dr..
Hurry, secretary of the board. land to
every condition necessary for their
progress and it is actually a sin not to
give them such surroundings. Bad
food, insufficient clothing, foul air in
unventilated bedrooms and school
rooms, insufficiently lighted and I'M
evenly warmed, schoolrooms, and
desks which do not fit the childre n
are all handieaps to progress and
health"
With the letters which are now be-
ing mailed out there are inclosed cop
les OF the rules of the state board of
health In regard to school buildings
and attention is called, to the fact that
these rules have all of the force of
law and that the penalty for violation
Is fine not exceeding 800.
Frequent Causes of Sickness.
Following is the letter which. with
the rules, constitutes the warning to
the officials:
TN most cases the schoolhouses
during the summer stand as did the
one Whittier describes-'an idle beg
gar summing The yard becomes over
grown with grass and weeds, the wat
er in the well becomes stagnant and
unfit for use, the schoolroom being
closed against light and air, becomes
damp, foul and unhealthful. Much of
the sickness attendant upon the be-
ginning of school could be averted if
these several matters were properly
attended to. The schooIhouse should
be thoroughly renovated and left open
to the light and air for several days
before school convenes. The floor
and woodwork should be scrubbed at
least a week before this time, that
they may be entirely dry.
1.-THE yard should be moved, raked
and cleared of all rubbish. Weeds in
city are among the most bitter en-
emies of the health department, and
the same precautions should be taken
against them in the country districts.
They should be removed and burned
before the first day of school,
Drinking Water Must be Pure.
THE well should be cleaned about
two weeks before school opens and
should be pumped out several times
after that before the water is used.
ITO delay doing any of these things
until the last few days before opening
school marks the school authorities as
negligent and incompetent, Would a
really successful and honest business
man be as neglectful of his property
as many school authorities are of the
public property? 1t is discouragine
that so many trustees do not pains
takingly care for the schoolhouses un
der their jurisdiction, but it is more
discouraging to know that the people
the very patrons of the neglected
sohoolhouse. do not protest and see t.
1t that their servants do their duty

The Children's athletic games given
yesterday afternoon under the super
vision of Roy J. Horton, Y. NJ. C. A.
physical director, wero a decided sue
cess. About three hundred of the
youngsters assembled on the green
north of the chautauqua grounds and
engaged in merry afternoon of
games and races. Mr.. Morton had
appointed Harold Taggart, Karl Sic

and Tom Davis, leaders. When Mr..
Horton had announced a game these
leaders took the different squads
through it. They played kick ball,
basketball relay. three deep, sting
goal, cut out, and had relay races.
The children spent three hours on
the meadow and entered into the
games in great spirit. Mr.. Horton is
much pleased with the outlook for
athletics among the Richmond boys.
Children Were Lost.
During the exercises yesterday aft.
ernoon three children were lost from
their friends but all were restored with
no mishap more serious than the loss
of few tears. Lucille Jones wandered
away from her father and was found
by one of the guards. He put her up
on the platform and she laughingly
told her name and said that she was
lost and wanted her papa. Papa, who
was in the audience, came forward
promptly.
Patrolman McNally did not fare sc
well with his charge. A little girl
