Richmond county will probably be
the first in the South to rid itself of
hookworm. The community up in the
Northern Neck is taking hold OF the
task of eradication In q way that
gladdens the heart of the state Health
Commission. Whether or not IT scores
first in the South. 1t Will certainly do
so In the state.
The County Board OF Health. the To-
cal Improvement League and the pub
lie school officials and teachers are
cooperating most heartily in the
work. Hundreds of affected persons
are being treated with the best of re-
suits. The county Is alive with inter-
est in the matter.
Every cured case is an object lesson
TO the rest of tho county. Tho treat
ment is simple and inexpensive. Men

come. almost rejuvenated after one day
spent in being rid of the disease which
has so. disastrously affected the South.
In course OF time every person In
the county will have been examined
for symptoms of hookworm. Not only
school children. but adults are already
being brought under pressure to have
themselves treated. The effect of this
work upon the people of the county IS
expected TO appear almost miraculous

in pursuit of the miscreant who had

Needless to say. the miscreant
swooned when ne discovered what had

trembling limbs, he crawled to the
county Jail and begged that he be
locked up and protected from the wrath

came the Cyclone.

VETERAN WANTED

SO far the state Board of Education
has been unable to secure the services
of Confederate veteran 10 examine
the histories which have been offered
for use in the public school books OF
tho State. This work is regarded as
important, since the board does not
wish TO adopt the history or histories
for the high school course until the
offerings have been examined and ap-
proved or disapproved.
AT the recent meeting of the board,
when a partial list of high school
books was adopted. II was determined
10 request committee TO look over
the school histories before any was
chosen. The persons selected by the
committee were: Captain W. Gordon
McCabe. State Librarian II. r. Nell
walne and DR. j. A. G. Chandler, su-
perintendent of public schools OF
Richmond
Captain McCabe found II impossible.
In view of his other duties, TO serve.
Judge George l.. Christian was then
asked to do the work, but is unable TO
take 1t up because OF trouble with his
eyes. Another veteran is now being
looked for.
DR.. McIlwaine and Dr. Chandler, in
tho meantime, feel reluctant to pro-
coed with the task without the aid
and advice OF man who took part in
the Civil War. The object of the eH-
animation is. of course. TO guard
against inaccuracies regarding war
events which would do injustice to
the memories of the South.
