Schools and Public Health

The public school system of Keno
sha has recently taken high place
among the schools of the state by the
action of the Board of Education in
adopting set Of rules for the safe
guarding Of the health Of the children
attending the schools The credit for
this action is due largely to the mem
bers of the Kenosha County Medical
Society who proposed the plan and gen
erously consented to give of their time
and experience to aid in carrying it
out. The rules proposed are not "fus
sy' suggestions in regard to clean
hands and faces, but they are rules
which would be followed by careful
parents who sought to protect their
children from the ravages of contagi-
Gus disease. Many parents are not
any too careful of their children and
as soon as they can be received in the
lowest room Of the kindergarten they
bundle them off to school with the idea
that the school is to be the nursery
with the teacher as the nurse. For the
next twelve years the welfare Of the
child is left almost entirely with the
teacher. The teacher not only teaches
the child common branches, but she is
also expected to teach it morals and
etiquette. In many cases the teacher
is also to look after the health Of the
child. Here is where the Kenosha
County Medical Society steps in to
take the burden off the shoulders of
the teachers. The physicians plan to
make regular inspections of the public
health Of the children. Nine out of
ten of all the epidemics of disease start
in the school rooms. The mother may
be working mother and unless the
child is sick enough to be in bed she
bundles it up and sends it to school.
Later it is found that the child is suf-
fering from a contagious disease, but
this discovery is not made until after
the child has mingled with the others
on the playground and has sown the
seeds of disease. When the parents
find that the children must have
a clean bill of health before they can
attend the school sessions this trouble
will be largely removed and the spread
of contagion in the schools will become
mere accident rather than a settled
fact as previously. The rules go
farther than this. They provide that
the eyes of the children shall be tested.
Often times child is at the foot of the
class, not because Of lack of applica-
tion, but simply because the eyes are
at fault. The parent has no way to
learn this but through the teacher and
test of the eyes Of the children month
ly should be sufficient to correct many
errors of vision with the pupils. The
Board Of Education in carrying out
these rules will need the cooperation
of the parents of the children. The
rules have been widely published and
parents should support them in every
way possible with view that while in
some cases the rules may work hard
ships for few they will be Of the
greatest benefit to the $500 small
boys and girls now being educat-
ed in the schools of Kenosha 1t
may be that it will be your child who
is found co be defective in eye sight,
and, if it is, you should regard the
action of the teacher and inspecting
physician as favor rather than as a
chance for fight with the teacher or
the School Board

The state senate has seen enough and
even Senator Sanborn wants to limit
the primary Investigation to the money
spent by Senator Stephenson. If no
more startling facts are to be brought
out in looking into the other candi-
dates expense accounts it is just as
well to let up now and furnish i'm
munity to the members of the senate
and assembly who got money from the
other candidates.

ASKS HEAVY DAMAGES
Nicholas Wade, Injured on Broad
ST., Demands $4,000 Dam
ages From Northwestern R'y
NO WARNING OF HIS DANGER
Boy Struck by Train and Badly In
jured Nearly Year Ago Claims
Permanent Injuries be
Tried This Term
NO WARNING OF HIS DANGER

Demanding damages in the sum Of
ten thousand dollars for personal in
juries, Nicholas Wade, by his guardian
ad Item George R. Wade, instituted
suit against the Northwestern Rail
way Company in the Circuit Court for
Kenosha county this morning. The
suit is of more than passing interest as
a "bloclzed" crossing figures largely
in the demand that is made by Wade
for damages for his injuries.
The accident on which the suit is
based occurred on May Goth of last
year and at that time young Wade was
employed as delivery boy at the
Jacob Saftig meat market on MilWau
kee avenue and he had ridden to the
west end of Broad street on a bicycle
to deliver some meat. When he
reached the railway crossing on his re-
turn trip he saw that the crossing was
blocked by freight train which was
moving in a northerly direction and
he got off his bicycle and waited for
the train to get past. On the side
track which comes up to the cross
| ing Of Broad street was long
line Of freight cars which completely
blocked the view Of a pedestrian so
far as a train approaching from the
north was concerned. Wade alleges
that after the north bound train had
passed he got on his bicycle and started
to cross the track. He was in the center
of the track when he was struck by
the south bound train. In the com
plant Wade alleges that there was no
warning of the approach of the train
from the north and that he had no
chance to save himself. He was thrown
many feet, one Of his legs was broken
and he was injured internally.
Wade was confined to the hospital
for many weeks and it is said that
he has never entirely recovered from
the accident Had the crossing at
Broad street been properly guarded by
gates the injury Of Wade would prob
ably have been avoided Baker and
Clarkson are the attorneys for the in
jured man and it is expected that the
suit will be brought up for trial at the
coming March term of the Circuit
Court
There are many railway crossings in
the city which are similar to the Broad
street crossing and as the company has
been repeatedly ordered by the Council
to safeguard such crossings the develop
ments of the suit will be watched with
a great deal of interest.
That moving van process of collec-
ton of personal taxes may be effective
but one thing is certain and that is
that it is not popular with the police
officers who are to be called upon to
