Health Work in School.

Medical supervision of schools, the
state paying one-half the cost. is pro-
posed in bill introduced in the Leg
islature by Senator Stebbins of Olm-
-sted county. The proposal is one
which is calculated to have great in
fluence upon the health Of school
children in Minnesota.
According to the provisions Of the
bill, counties, municipalities or school
districts may employ physician who
will combine the Office of medical
school supervisor and health officer.
Such officers shall have power to re-
quire proper seating. lighting and
ventiiaticn in schoos rooms. Tney
may require proper conditions, from
a sanitary standpoint. of all school
buildings and school grounds. take
steps to prevent the spread of infecti
GUS diseases among students, and In
quire into the general physical con
dition of the children. In addition .tC
this, they as health officers. will
have author ity to supervise slaughter
houses. milk supplies and abate nuis.
ances.
The condition of each child in
school will receive attention. Good
health for pupil is as essential as
good books or good teachers, and
even more SO. If each school in
Minnesota were under proper medical
supervision, there would be fewer
cases of sickness and more rapid pro.
gress made by many pupils in their
studies. The State Board of Health
employed DR.. E. B. Hoag. of tbs
University of California. an expert,
for one year. to canvass the state anC
demonstrate why medical supervision
in schools is desirable and necessary.
Twenty thousand dollars is asked
for in the Stebbins bill with which
the state may pay its half the cost fol
these health officials.

The Obrecht Stock Company closed

the Obrecht Sisters Orchestra, too
much can not be said in its praise.

that this part of their nights per-

most companies, they do not try to
see how little they can hand you and
yet get your money, but give you all
you could reasonably expect and then
throw in little more for good mea-
