School Sanitation.

To Superintendents and school Officers:
The question Of school hygiene and
sanitation is at present occupying very
prominent place in the minds OF those
who are interested in the physical we'll
being of the children of this country.
One of the greatest assets that this coun-
try has is the public health and every
effort should be made by those who
have in their charge the future citizens
Of this country to conserve the health of
these future citizens.
Never has there been . time in this
country when SO much has been said or
written upon this subject. The daily
papers and current magazines are full Of
articles upon this subject and upon ways
and means of preventing and combating
disease,
Z Ventilation.
The purpose Of this circular is to call
your attention to the need Of greater Vi
GLANCE on our part g superintendents
and school officers for the care Of the
health OF the children Of this state. A
. great deal has been said heretofore
with reference to the matter Of proper
ventilation OF school buildings. I am
glad to note that there IL an increasing
interest in this subject, yeti regret ex.
ceedingly that there will be hundreds,
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1909-09-10
tuberculosis.

fare against tuberculosis, I desire also to
call your attention to the fact that the
law in this state now in force requires
that all children in the public schools, be
taught the nature of tuberculosis and
ways and means of preventing and com
batting this disease. l sincerely trust
that this provision of the law will receive
proper attention. In this connection as
we'll, beg to suggest that while it may
seem hardship, no pupil or teacher
suffering from tuberculosis ought to be
allowed IN our public schools. The
lives and health of a greater number
must not be jcopardized through mis-
taken sympathy for the individual.
Individual Cups.
Another matter which seems to call
| for attention is the common drinking
cup which is snow recognized as one of
/ the greatest sources of contamination.
| believe that the state board of health
has taken this matter up and practically
ordering that all public places
be supplied in some way with individual
drinking cups, and it certainly seems to
me that we who are charged with
education should be the leaders ia any
movement which will have tendency
to improve the public health. most
earnestly urge that some steps be taken
before the opening of the coming school
year to see that all pupils are provided
with the individual drinking cups. I
know that there are some schools in the
state already where these drinking cups
are provided and very much hope that
this matter will be taken up seriously.
The individual drinking cup, together
with the closed receptacle for the pur-
pose of holding water, will do much to
improve the health of our children.
Dust.
Another thing which seems to me
should be given attention by school off,
GERS is the matter of dust in the school
room. OF course ] recognise the fact
that the use of chalk results in the for
nation of great deal of dust, yet the
danger of this chalk dust can be min
imized through the use of proper erasers
and proper chalk trays. There are a
number of devices nov manufactured
which will reduce very greatly the nms-
ance of chalk dust. In this connection
1t seems to me that the floors of our
school rooms should receive attention.
No school room floor ought to be unoil-
ed and those schools that are most care
full about the question of cleanliness and
sanitation see that their floors are fre-
quently scrubbed and oiled. In this
way the danger arising from the accum-
ulation Of dust on the floors is mining
ed.
There are a number of other things
which ought to be attended to, yet it
has been my experience that the school
officers in North Dakota are awake to
these things and whenever it is called to
their attention they are more than glad
to act ia such way as will bring the
best results. I earnestly commend these
points to your serious reconsideration with
the hope and expectation that action,
will result 6rom this little appeal.
Very truly yours,
w. L. STOCKWELL.

GAvES25,00O,OOO
Mrs. Russell Sage Has Spent i'm
Three Years
An Immense Sum For Benefit
OF Mankind.
EVERY DAY S25,OOO.OO
Average That Is Being Main
tained in the Distribution
OF Fortune of $65,OOO,OOO Left
by Her Husband.

New York. June s.-In less than
three years Mrs. Russell Sage has
spent more than $25.00O.0O0 for pub
lie purposes and the benefit of man
kind. The recent investigation
abroad of the question of working
mems insurance and the establish
ment of gigantic employment
bureau call attention anew to her
prolific bounty.
1t took Russell Sage fifty years to
get $65,000,00e. This great sum
amounted to $4,000 a day for the life
time of the financier.
Mrs. Sage is now giving away the
fortune at the rate of $4,000 day.
If the widow continues her charities
at the pace she has set all will be
gone in five years. Comparison of
the financier's power to make money
with Mrs Sage's faculty of giving it
away shows that the widow is giving
away 50 in the same time that it took
Mr. Sage to accumulate the proverbial
thirty cents"

SLEEP IN THE PARKS.
Memphis Visitors Seek in Vain for a
Cool Place.

Memphis, Tenn. June 9.-Last
night was one Of the hottest here in
years and all night thousands of
visitors to the United Conferedate
Veterans reunion walked the streets
or rode upon the cars seeking in vain
a cooling breeze. Thousands more,
slept in the parks.
At today's business session of the
veterans and the sons, the design for
the monument to the women of lne
Confederacy was rejected because the
sculptor had created q militant wom-
an, armed belted and waving a flag.
1t was unanimously agreed that this
was in no sense a~fitting memorial to
the women of the south.

BACK TO OLD RATES.
Senate Restores Wool Schedule to
Dingley Law Figures.

Washington, June 9.-By an aye and
no vote of 40 to 30. the senate today
adopted the finance committee's s
amendment restoring the Dingley rate
of 80 cents a pound on wool top waste
and other wastes.
The house rate was 20 cents. Pro-
gressive Republicans generally voted
with the Democrats against the in
crease.
There has never been a time said
Senator Warren, when wool growers
have been prosperous unless the woolen
manufacturers were prosperous. 1t has
been said here with a sneer that the
growers had made some agreement
ask in all seriousness whether that is
not proper thing to do or whether
they should have each other by the
throat?"
Interrupting, Senator Dolliver refer
red to a rag trust in this country.
which Mr.. Warren said he suspected
was largely organized on the plan of
Colonel Sellers as he heard nothing OF
it until the senator from Iowa had
called it to his attention.
BY a vote of 40 to 80. the committee
amendment levying duty of 80 cents,
similar to that of the Dingley bill, on
top waste, slubbing waste, rowing
waste, ring waste and garnetted waste
was agreed to. The vote was the first
that has been taken on the wooden
schedule and is regarded as a test vote
on all amendments to that schedule.
On the amendment no Democrats
senator voted in the affirmative, while
Mr.. Crawford and Mr.. Gamble, who
have generally voted with the progress
sive Republicans and Democrats, voted
aye. Foster of Louisiana, voted with
the Democrats, although generally vot-
ing with the majority. Republicans
voting no were Beveridge, Bristow,
Brown, Burkett, Clapp. Cummins, Dol
liver LaFollette and Nelson.

Mr.. Radford grew out of failure to
account for $418 in the report made
by him for the month of February
this year. He said that the amount
was the receipts of the office of the
department at Wichita.
The investigation of the state grain
department was started a month ago
under Instructions from Governor
Stubbs Soon after John T. White, the
present inspector, assumed his office it
was discovered that there were irregu-
larities in the grain department, and
A. D. Crotts, chief clerk under the
Radford regime, disappeared suddenly
leaving his books in bad shape and
several important papers missing.
Radford came to Topeka a short
time ago and was quoted as saying that
he wanted complete investigation of
his department.: that the accounts of
the depar rtment were at all times in the
hands of Mr.. Crotts and that he knew
nothing about them. Radford stated
at this time that he stood ready to
make good any shortage that might be
found.
Radfords preliminary hearing will
be held in Kansas City June 16. In
the meantime he is being held under
$500 bound.
Radford was at the head of the
grain department for six years and the
investigation of his books and papers
by the state accountant will cover that
entire period.
