Public School Sanitation
Lansing, Aug. 10. 191!

hduoiu6, nus 40 iViis
Fifty thousand American school
children are annually removed from
school on account of physical inabil-
ity to continue work. Careful investi-
cation in this and other countries has
showed this effect to be due largely to
conditions existing in many of our
school houses, such as poor ventila-
ton, improper lighting, uneven tenn
perature, unsuitable seats, etc. That
these conditions have been the cause
and are today causing the indisposi-
tons of general depression, lassitude,
headache, dizziness, lowering of re-
sistance to disease, and consequent
contraction of the more serious mala-
dies, as, pneumonia, tuberculosis,
bronchitis, influenza, curvature of the
spine, near-sightedness, etc., is an adj
mitted fact; and the knowledge that
thirty per cent of all school children
are suffering from diseases of the eye
should be sufficient to direct the in
quiry Of every parent, to say nothing
of every school official, into the condi-
ton surrounding his child. Inasmuch
as the years of early school life are
the formative period of the tissues Of
the eye, 1t is imperative that money
and attention be given to the end of
proper lighting in our schools. FIRE.
Quent absence from school due to
colds, and other sicknesses could be
eliminated, were ventilation more eff
fectual, were reliable systems of
ventilating installed, instead of the
common dependence upon open win
dows.
The experience of the Michigan
State Board of Health in investigat-
ing the schoolhouses of this state
shows that, while during vacation
time, some improvements are made
to overcome the worst conditions, yet
these improvements are only too apt
to be make-shift and inadequate. The
health of school children demands
more lively recognition of their
needs: pure air, supplied at the rate
of not less than thirty cubic feet per
minute for each occupant of the room
adequate lighting, from the left side,
or left side and rear, of the room; adj
Unstable seats to suit the needs Pc
culiar to each pupil; clean, well-vent-
Hated toilets.
The immense sums of money in
vested in school property, the econo-
mic value of every school child, urge
the best management of the schooling
business and the maintenance of the
most effectual means not only of pre-
serving but of building up a healthy
and strong generation of children.
Very truly yours,
Robert l.. Dixon, M. D., Secy.

Water With Meals.

A difference of opinion has ex-
listed as to whether water should
be drunk with food. Recent ex-
periments have seemed to indi-
cate that water may be drunk
with benefit at mealtime. This
is not finally settled. but 1t is
certain that the practice Of fol-
lowing bit Of food Immediately
with mouthful of water or 9TH
er liquid. washing 1t down with
out proper mastication and mix
ture with the saliva, is injurious.
Children should especially be
trained to avoid this habit.
There is no doubt that In a case
in which food is imperfectly
masticated the drinking Of
moderate amount of water slow
iy after eating would facilitate
digestion. but the bit and sup
habit is obviously bad.

Pull or Push2

Is there any such thing as pull?
Does the horse pull the cart, or does
he simply push on his collar and so
draw 1t along? Would you pull a
weight that was fastened to your coat
tails. or in that case would you SIM
ply be pushing against your clothes
Do our political officeholders always
get their Jobs through their own push,
or is 1t usually a matter Of pull? This
Is an interesting problem. Think 1t
over.-New York Globe.

Of the last Of the 20 caissons forming
the enclosing wall of the huge basin
or rotterdam surrounding the wreck of
the Maine, the first stage in the great
work of exposing and ultimately re-
moving the shattered remains of the
hattleship sunk in the harbor of Ha-
vana on the night of Feb. Is, 1898, has
Just been brought to successful con-
clusion.
The work was accomplished with a
rapidity fully up to the most san
guine expectations of the army engi-
neers in charge, and its progress was
unmarked by single mishap or hitch
until the introduction of the final pile.
which failed to interlock properly
with those on either side. This gave
rise to rumor that the stability of
the caisson was endangered, but the
replacing of three piles served to re-
pair the damage.
The second stage of the work, that
Of filling the caissons with cud, clay
bottom, has been going on for some
time, and, now that the ring of the
caissons is completed, is being pushed
forward with the utmost rapidly. The
steam dredse Norman Davis, loaned
to the government by the Huston
Trumbo Dredging company, and the
United States army dredge Barnard"
are dumping hundreds of tons OF ma
terial into the caisscns, the work 60
ing on as it has from the beginning,
night and day.
1t is expected that the filing Of the
caissons will be completed by the end
of April. and after that the second and
most interesting stage OF the work
that of pumping out the great basin
and leaving exposed the hull of the
battleshp in precisely the condition
she was on the morning after her de-
struction 10 years ago-will be pro-
ceeded with.
AS soon as the wreck is fully ex-
posed, the work of exploration in
search of human remains will take
precedence of every other considera-
ton. 1t is practically certain that
when this stage of the work is reached
United States man-of-war will be or
dered to Havana and will lie close to
the wreck to receive the bodies.
After that will come an exhaustive
scrutiny of the shattered wreck by ex-
perts who, in the opinion OF engineer
officers. will be able to determine be-
yond all future question precisely the
character of the agency whereby the
destruction of the Maine was effected.
Probably many months will lapse
before the final stage of the work.
the extraction and disposition of the
wreck-will be begun. So far, the
plans are merely tentative, everything
depending on what the condition OF
the wreck proves to be. @
