The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1911-11-22

consists of seven men who serve
without pay. From now on no
school building can be contracted
for and built until the plans are sent
to Harrisburg. We turn them over
to Mr.. Willis, a school architect.
This costs you nothing. 1t gives
you expert advice without cost to
you. We are about to issue
pamphlet containing plans and speci-
fications of model up-to-date one
and two-room buildings, which will
be sent to you.
ADVISES Medical Inspection.
Now about medical inspection.
Although most of the districts in this
county won't have it this year, l be-
lieve you will next. 1t provides that
a doctor shall examine the physical
condition of every school child in
Wayne county, if the school direc-
tors are willing, without any ex-
pense. Chiefly the eyes, ears and
throat are examined.
If there are any defects found
and it's wonderful how many people
have defective eyes and ears and
don't know it, the procedure will be
a very simple one. The examination
will be done in the school room. No

this is done, the teacher will be in
formed and the teacher will tell the
parents. The teacher will then
know how to seat the child close to
the blackboard or near to the light.
1t won't cost you a penny.
All the districts in Wayne coun-
ty have exempted themselves, this
year, from the medical inspection
feature of the Code, save Hawley
and Starrucca boroughs, Preston and
Texas townships.
There will be 81 school tax
levied on every male inhabitant.
The enumeration of school chill
dren heretofore left to the local as
SCISSOR, who sometimes copied his
list from last years book, is i'm
portant. The rural districts didn't
get the full amount of their appro-
priation, through the assessors care
lessness ometimes. Your appropria-
tion depends on your enumeration.
The Code suggests that you get a
teacher to do it. It's going to help
the townships to get all that's COM
| ing to them from the State.
The Code will provide for joint
schools, make it easier for you to
close school if need be and transport
the children.
"As to holidays. The best law
yers differed as to which were holi-
days. There are only two holidays
on which school must be closed,
Christmas and Fourth of July. Any
other day save Saturday and Sun
day, you may have your school open.
If you have the school open you pay
your teacher. It's in the hands OF
the school board.
Every township must teach the
elements of Agriculture or they
won't get their appropriation"
All this and much more said the
learned Doctor, in his special plea
setting forth the merits of the
school code, to the directors. When
he got through he answered ques-
tions readily, and made most fav-
orable impression.
The convention adjourned at ten
minutes past twelve o'clock.
