County School Superintendent
Smith has returned from one of his
annual visits to the county schools,
and his report is favorable in every
respect.
superintendent Smith states that
all the districts are taking immedi-
ate action in cleaning up their
schools and grounds. Several of the
districts are making 1t the regular
custom to clean off the school
grounds and give the building thor
ough scrubbing. The superintendent
speaks very highly of the work being
carried on by the schools in the way
of putting everything about the prem
Uses in a sanitary condition. Due to
the remarkable revival of sanitary
improvements in the county schools,
reports show that sickness has de-
creased to few slight cases. Ven
tilation and the water supply are
the main things which Superintend-
emit Smith is looking after. The
school officers of the different dis
tricts are taking interest in this mat
ter, says Mr.. Smith, "and there will
be steps taken at once to relieve the
children OF breathing nothing but
pure air, where poor ventilation ex-
listed.
Ventilation is a very important
matter to schools" said Superin-
tendent Smith today. "It does not
only endanger the health of the chill

pills in a poorly ventilated room, but

bawdy house cases. All if these cases
have been bound over to the grand

besides taking action with relation
to them will also consider some mat

understood that there are none of
these of much impirtance but that
they will be criminal matters of a
minor character.

FOUND COUNTY SCHOOLS
IN GOOD CONDITION
EVERY PRECAUTION TAKEN To IMPROVE
VENTILATION AND SANITARY
CONDITIONS

it renders the teachers duties very
difficult, due to the fact that the chill
dren become restless when not made
comfortable, and they can hardly SIT
till in their seats. have seen pu-
pills twisting about, stretching and
yawning in rooms where the ventila-
ton is poor and they seemed unable
to put their whole minds upon their
work.
II believe the water consumed by
the school children in this county is
pure, and free from disease injecting
substances. Most all of the school
water comes from deep wells. These
wells are dug down very deep, and
at the depth of 20 feet there is a con-
crete arch placed, and the space then
filled with stone. Drinking cups and
pals are given thorough cleansing
every evening, and the teachers are
very careful that no unsanitary con-
ditions exist about the wells.
"The county schools today are in
better condition than they nave ever
been before in every respect. The
teachers are to be congratulated upon
the thorough manner in which they
are taking up the studies with their
pupils"
superintendent Smith received II
certificate from the Seattle fair edu-
cational board today, which awards
to the county schools of Marion coun-
ty, outside of Salem, a silver medal
for having the best educational dis
play.

 ENT OVER DEBT.
Sick Mans Lafe Saved by speeay ssds In Automohile=sccond Deed of similar Character
 fn Week.

Anniston. Aug. 17.--(special. )---Dsp- uty Tax Assessor Sharp stewart. who 1t Is said. attempted to take his own life in fit of dsspondency over debt. was in e better condition this after noon and 1t is now believed that he will recover from the effects of the in- halation of gas.
 This is the second time within . week that MT. Stewart is declared to have attempted to take his own life. a pistol having been drawn with alleged suicidal intent last week.. Since that time he has been Increasingly despond- ent. and stated in letter to his wife and to Assessor Dave Cowden that he was going to kill himself. probably by drowning himself in Oxford Lake.
 Yesterday evening he left home and when he did not return at the usual hour, search was instituted immedi- ately. No trace of him could be found. Early in the morning. however. the janitor smelied the fumes of gas in the court house building and notihed the sherin. who hurried to the scene. The Asse ssor's office was locked. the shades drawn. An entrance was effected and the men found Mr. Stewart lying un- conscious on the floor, with gas fumes escaping from . small stove tube near to hts nostriia
 The perishing man was quickly hur- ried from the building to the fresh air. A physician was summoned and after using every restorative at hand. the body was placed in an automobile and hurriedly driven around the city, so as to get advantage of the breeze. This was partially effective, and when the sick man was removed to his home he was resting fairly well.
 . Mir. Stewart Is considered an excel lent man in his position. and few men in the city have more friends His deed came as severe shock.
