LECTURE ON HEALTH

The specific ailments which develop
from colds and chills were not dwell
upon by the able and tactful physicians
who lectured on hygiene. Anyway. 1t
is held to be a scientific fact that germs
of evil propensities do not develop in
cold storage, so the shivers of fear were
not generated to stimulate the vibra-
tions of the shiyers of cold
President E. Morris Cox of San
Rafael called the gathering to order
and introduced Kirk Harris, president
of the San Francisco convention
league, who delivered a cordial ad-

DELIVERS ANNUAL ADDRESS
President E. Morris Cox then deliv-
cred his annual message to the asso-
citation in a paper in which he covered
vigorously the pedagogical situation in
the state. He laid considerable stress
on the plan for federation of all the
organizations of teachers of the state
under the name of the California coun-
ell OF education. He discussed at
length the problem of the county SUI
perintendent and the i'll effect on the
school system of the state through
the danger Of political changes in the
county Office every four years. He
advised earnestly that some method
be devised whereby the county super
intendent. whether by appointment or
otherwise, could be sure of a longer
tenure of Office.

HYGIENE AND FAIRGROUNDS CONSIDERED BY
EDUCATORS GATHERED IN ANNUAL CONVENTION
Health of Child All Important

The community that neglects the
health of its school children Is
guilty of criminal negligence. From
40 to so per cent of the school chill
dren are in need of dental work.
Children have the coffee and tea
habits, which are, after all, forms
of the drug habit.
You can not properly educate the
child who is not in good health.
The roller towel at school is
real source of danger. I'd as soon
have roller toothbrush.
As a people we are clean only in
those things in which it Is fash
ionable to be clean.

were in denunciation of what he called

gested that the universities take over

Regarding the discreditable teachers,
the president said:
The good name of our, profession is its chief

than do the lawyers and doctors through the

lively to the work of Luther Burbank.
John SWEET, who was present In the

dore Roosevelt. whom he characterized
as the teacher and leader of the new
age.

the elementary section, presided.
The first speaker was DR.. W. ii.

He declared that the schools must take
