DIR. HINES MAKES REPORT.
DeplOres Our Lack OF Interest In Hy-
gicnic Matters.
(The State.)

e. A. Hines, NJ. D., of Seneca, sec
retary-trcasurer of the South Caro-

his report to the State Board Of
Health Tuesday morning on what had
been accomplished at the meeting OF
the Fourth international Congress on

gate to represent the State B0arI Of
Health and the State Of South Caro-

means the fact that. little interest
was taken in this important subject
by the Southern States, and in order
to place South Carolina among the
leaders he has written a letter TO the
leading educational institutions i'll
the State asking fo~ information as
to what has been done in the sevp-
raj institutions tow a'd school hy-
giene.
DR.. Hines report is as follows:

Kimball's eyes grew dim with a
mist Of tears as he watched them;
he wished with all his heart that he
knew what was passing in his wife's
mind. He could see her slender,
childish form convulsed with her eff
forts to repress her sobbing, and her
small hands clenched above her head
against the boys soft body.
He could bear the sight no longer;
he felt on his key chain for his latch
key which he had never removed and
let himself silently in the front door.
"Hazel-Hazel dearest!" he whis-
pered softly as he entered the nur-
sery.
She sprang hastily to her feet and
stared at him with wet, startled eyes.
1t was characteristic of her that she
did not cry out, but stood perfectly
still regarding him wonderingly.
"Hazel," he continued in a low
unsteady voice. 1--WE come to help
you fill the stockings" He began
unloading his pockets as he spoke.
'These are for the boy" he said
.''and these are for Baby Hazel
This" he held up a small box, is for
my wife" His smile was tender and
his eyes sought hears appealingly.
She remained motionless by the
child's bed and her eyes met his in a
full, long gaze.
Hazel" he pleaded, may
stay?"

Yes" she murmured almost in

"And what did he ask for this
time?"
For moment she was silent and
her face grew white to the lips; an
expression of intolerable pain sud
denly shadowed her brown eyes, but
Kimball was not looking at her, and
when she spoke her voice sounded as
clear and cruel as ever to his sensi-
tive ears.
'He only asked for one thing-a

Nimballs hand tightened convul-

They reached her door a moment

at the house; but she hurried past
him up the steps with only a ceremo-
nious little bow and closed the door
behind her.

the following communications:
Letter to Colleges.
Dear Sir: l have just returned
from the International Congress on
School Hygiene at Buffalo, n. Y. Au-
gust 25-30. At this congress | had
the honor to represent both the State
Board of Health and the State Of
South Carolina.
"I devoted much Of my time to
the investigation Of health conditions
in the higher institutions Of learning
in this and other countries.
"'I write this because it appeared
to me that at the present time we
are in need of clear-cut, definite ideas
as to the Importance of teaching and
living the hygienic life on the part of
our colleges and universities \
whole day was given by one section
to a symposium on health conditions
in such Institutions.
The following plan appeared to
me to be the outline of the best worF
that is being done at I resent. CD A
committee on health ,ud sanitation
to be appointed from the faculty. GU
A board Of health to be appointed
from the student body. CD A close
cooperation between these agencies
and the local board of health. the
community and the State Board Of
Health. Some of the institutions fol-
lowing this plan, in part or in toto,
are: Harvard, Columbia. y. Y; the
College Of the City OF New York, Uni
versity Of Michigan, University of
MIA, and Amherst.
1t was clear that the whole
scheme Of teaching and living the hy-
gicnic life should be the work of sew
and not be left in the hands of the
college physician alone or the local
health authorities alone. 1t was clear
that this great international congress

much prominence in the curriculum
as any branch of knowledge. 1t was
evident that the congress considered
that our higher institutions OF learn
ing should not only teach and live the
principles Of preventive medicine, but
that their graduates should extend
this know edge into the sever.l COM
munities in which they go.
Undoubtedly the congress set its
stamp of approval by an enthusiastic

sands Of miles and undergo no little
hardships to attend this meeting, and
yet many OF those Of our country who
should have been interested were not
there. The point | wish to make is
that so far as | could judge, almost
all the rest Of the civilized world
takes greater interest in the school
child's health than we OF the South
ern States particularly.
Il endeavored to gather from the
congress such information as |
thought would be useful to the pco-
pie Of South Carolina. especially
attended the session on medical in
speotion in schools; indeed, | had
the temcrity to open the discussion
OF one OF the most important sessions
on this subject, the paper being pre-
sented by the chairman, S. G. Dixon,
Commissioner OF Health for the State
OF Pennsylvania, on school medical
inspection in ruarl districts Of Penn
sylvania. The paper disclosed that
this work was new in Pennsylvania,
and in the hands Of a country doctor,
whose findings were only at variance
one or two per cent from the StatiS-
ties Of the city Of Philadelphia. The
tribute to the ability OF the country
doctor by DR.. Dixon was indeed most
complimentary. One thousand were
employed in this work last year and
1000 will be employed this year.
There has been some fear OF intro
ducing the medical inspection of
schools in rural districts in South
Carolina on the score Of the lack of
ability on the part of the average
country doctor to cope with the stu
alton; therefore DR.. Dixon's report is
highly encouraging.

tion on the heating and ventilation
