State Superintendent Schools
To See What the Sanitary
Conditions Are All Over the
State.
EVERY COUNTY WILL
BE VISITED BY HIM
Mr.. Alley Is in Full Accord With
The Efforts of the State
Board of Health to Improve
Conditions.
palladium Specially

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 29.-Robert
j. Alley. state superintendent of public
instruction, started out yesterday on a
tour OF inspection of the sanitary con-
ditiOns of schools in all of the cities,
towns and country districts in all Of
the counties of the state. OF course,
he will not be able to continue steadily
at this inspection work, but he will
make visits to all counties from time to
time until he has covered every county
in the state. Mr.. Alley intends to see
that every school in the state Is in a
sanitary condition, as required by the
rules of the board of health and in ac-
cordance with the laws of the state.
Mr.. Alley is in full accord with the
efforts of the state board of health to
bring about better sanitary conditions
in the schools. The board has discov-
cred epidemics of communicable dis
eases in several of the counties since
the schools opened short time ago,
and 1t is doing its utmost to stamp out
the epidemics, and in this work it will
have the active cooperation of Mr..
Alley.
Law Givee the Power.
The law gives the state board of
health power to adopt such rules as are
required to promote the good health
of school children and the sanitary
maintenance Of the schools, and the
board has adopted such rules. A short
time ago the state board of health
adopted the following explanation Of
its rules, the explanation having been
prepared by DR.. J. N. Hurry, secretary
of the board:
simultaneously with the annual
opening of the public schools, diphthe-
ria. measles. mumps, scarlet fever and
many other diseases increase. This is
caused by unclean school rooms and
furniture and by the congregating of
the pupils. They mass together and
contact spreads infection. Some few
pupils may have just recovered from a
communicable disease, or they may
come from families that have been
smitten, and being infected, they trans
NIT diseases to those that are suscept-
ible. 1t is reasonable to assume that
the suddenly imposed confinement in
the school after a period of freedom,
frets the children for few days, caus-
Ing them more or less nervousness, and
so resistance is temporarily lowered.
In this way susceptibility may increase
and sickness may more readily follow.
To do all tina is possible to prevent the
usual school opening increase in sick
ness, is the object of these rules.
Soap Must Be Used.
1T Is ordered in the rules that desk
tops and banisters be washed with
soap and hot water, and afterwards be
