ALONG HEALTH LINES.
Federal Bureau of Education Advo.
Gates Education of Rural Teachers.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Education of
the teachers of the country schools
along health lines is advocated by. the
Federal Bureau of Education. which
has Just issued as an official document
an article on Sanitation In Rural
Communities by DR. Charles r,
North of New York, urging such a
program. The bureau believes that tina
normal schools of the various states
should instruct country school teach
ers in the science Of sanitation so THAT
they would be enabled to point the
way toward better living and thus act
as conservators of health on the farm
and in the smaller communities.
The cities of the country. 1t is de-
clared, are fairly well provided for
through the wider means of communi-
cation and the activities of health de-.
partment agents, but the teacher in
the little red schoolhouse could lend
a powerful helping hand toward bet
tering the physical condition of those
who live apart from urban eenvenr
fences.
