What Health Supervision May Rural
Schools Have?
Under such conditions, how many
rural schools obtain some sort OF
health supervision? Two plans arr
possible. First, the teacher herself
may be obliged to assume the entire
responsibility of health supervision !;
second, county health officers may I'M
der some conditions act as school
health officers for part or all of Their
respective counties
The latter plan is the more desirable
one, and county health officers ought
to be appointed on full time at ade-
quate salaries. A plan of this kind
would demand the services of we'll
trained men, and would considerably
enlarge the field of preventive medi-
cine in the country. State aid might
and should be given to the mainte-
nance of such county health officers,
just as it is now given to rural
| schools. At present, the county health
officer is often an incompetent madi-
cal man; with the plan suggested
none but competent men, to whom are
offered adequate salary and reasona-
BILE tenure of office, should be consid
cred.
In many cases the teacher herseli
will have to do the best she can, en-
tirely unaided. She should be pre-
-pared to observe and to recognize the
ordinary defects of school children
The normal school ought to Offer
courses for such preparation, but
where the teach has not had training
il, normal school she. should acquire
information in the best manner posi-
Bile. In order that she may get it
county superintendent should provid;
study courses and obtain the services
of competent physicians for special
lecture and demonstration work with
the teachers.
Superintendent would do we'll tc
follow the plan of Michigan, Minnesota
and Virginia, and employ a specialist
to visit as many schools of the state
as possible, in order to instruct teach
ers on school and child hygienice.

Health Supervision
In Rural Schools

(By Ernest Bryant Hoag, NJ. d.
Health work in rural schools pre-
sents some problems entirely different
from those found in large villages and
in cities
Rural schools are, with only few
exceptions, entirely unprovided with
health supervision of any nature. Yet
these are the very places most in need
of it In the larger centers compe-
tent doctors are available, and il
the cities free medical and dental elm
les may always be found, but in the
country, medical and dental attention
is often difficult to obtain.
Again, people in the country are lit
tie inclined to seek aid from physicians
or dentists, simply because they have
not yet been educated to do so, ex-
cept in serious cases. 1t, therefore,
/ happens that children of the rural
schools are in general CONTRARY 70
I the general impression) more in need
of medical and dental attention than
the children of larger communities.
There is also a common impression
that country children are naturally
more vigorous than city children. This
ought to be true, but, unfortunately,
it is not. In general food is not as
we'll prepared in the country as it is
il the city; the available variety is
smaller; the houses and schools are
less we'll ventilated, overheating in
winter is common; tuberculosis is
not so we'll understood and the
chances for house infection" are
therefore greater; and general public
sanitation is almost without eycep-
ton neglected in the country.
Children in the country are moro
exposed to unfavorable weather condi-
tons than are city children They
often walk long distances in extreme
heat, cold or wet and sit in school
with damp clothing or wet feet They
almost invariably wear too much cloth
ing indoors in cold weather. and are
consequently oyerheated in the school
room and then are chilled on the way
home. Under such conditions it is no
wonder that cold and other respiratory
disorders are cannon, and that many
country children are out of school Oh
account of various kinds of sickness,
The sanitation of a rural school is
usually very bad. The common drink
ing cup hangs from nail over the
water pail; floors and desks are often

NO MONEY IN GEORGIAN

Maybe the banks of Americas are
without funds but it looks to us that
the fact that over 100000 is lying or
deposit in the five banks of the city to-
day sets aside this assertion. Maybe
farm lands are not bringing what they
are worth but Sumter county land IS
bringing around 800 an acre every day
now. Maybe the poor farmer is having
hard time as this gentleman claims
but we haven't seen any having a hard
time around here. They are all look
ing prosperous and are happy over a
plentiful harvest of IA cent cotton.
Quite number of people from South
Carolina haze moved into Sumter coun-
ty and made their homes here. There's
no better class of citizens in the
whole county. All of these know that
Georgia rs prosperous and they do not
hesitate to write letters to this effect
back home.
Perhaps this is the cause for this
supposed interview. Maybe the Dillon
paper is afraid that all it's subscribers
will move to Georgia and that it will
be up against it.
Georgia is prosperous, Sumter Coun-
ty IS prosperous, and Americas IS
prosperous it makes no matter what
the Dillon Herald or the whole shebang
of papers up there say about it. We
cordially invite the whole town of
Dillon down to see us. We will show
them what good place this is. We
will show them some sights that will
open their eyes. We will show them
the county and the state that put
