STILES ON HOOKWORW
Precedence of Disease AmoHg e
Southern School Children.

Washington. March 25.--Statements from
Dr. c. W. stiles on the hookwOrm disease IN
the South. which appeared to-day in the
public health reports. aroused great interest
The doctor tells of observations made in
Southern Florida and in three cotton mills
in North Carolina.
In Southern Florida, IN company with
Dr. K. Z. Lindeman, OF the state Board o.
Health laboratory at Tampa. and Dr. John
=. Helms. Dr. Stiles saws he visited eight
schools in three counties and saw 1.S06
school children. OF whom he puts down 55.9
per cent as suspects. The number 50 cIassi-
fed. Dr.. Stiles says. may. as experience
shows. be taken as an ultra-conservativs
estimate OF the number OF these children
who had hOokworm infection. In fact. ne
adds. according TO experience. on the basis
Of $50 per cent suspects, il may be con-
Cluded that the Infection is probably not
less than so per cent. which was the esti-
mate made by DIT. Helms before the exam
ination Of the children began. Pupils n
these schools represented not only some
very poor children from the farms. but also
children OF weIl-to-dO families from farms
and towns. At least five OF the teachers IN
the schools visited showed clear and pro-
nounced effects OF hookworn Infection.
In a second paper DR.. stiles speaks OF a
visit TO three cotton mills I'm RoCkirShan.
