l. Sleep. work and live in the
fresh air as much as is possible.
2. Fit into the lower part OF the

arate bed for each child,

Banishes Dipper a d Bucket From
Schools of County

l}anishing the old-faShiOne i dip
ner and consigning the time honored
school water bucket TO the dump,
the school board Of Rockingham
county has pas passed an order re-
quh ing all school children f the
county to have individual drinking
cups.
Hereafter no dippers or buckets
for drinking water will be allowed
in the schools, and in their place
will be water coolers with no com
mon drinking cup. Every child
that expects 10 drink water during
school hours will have u keep his
own drinking cup, and woe to the
:pupil who loans his cup to another
EtSirsty student: -
s=In taking this action the school
hoard Of the county, accordingto It's
medical advisers, has taken n-fm
portant step in preventing the spreaC
Of disease among school children
Hand has set the State an eXcellen
example. The medical men con
END, and produce evidence to prov
their case, that the school drinkin!
cup is one of the most dangerou
agents in the spread CT disease
Where only one cup is used for tn
entire school they point out nov
easily a child suffering from tn
first stages of diphtheria or Xix
diseases can infect this cup an
spread the disease to others.
The State Department OF Healt
has long urged upon school author
ties the importance OF requiring IL
dividual bringing cups, and has e!
pressed its hearty approval Of I'll
