rural schools the health of the children
might be greatly improved by little
attention of this kind. For this reason
special public health training is being
advocated for the rural teacher. She
should be able to know when child
is feverish, unduly chilly or indicating
any indisposition which might develop
into serious illness. Many teachers
now supply themselves with wooden
tongue depressors, and if a child's voice
indicates a sore throat the teacher can
at least make a preliminary examination
which will reveal whether there is in
Illumination.

enters in with other matters of school

Mathilde GStettner of Austria, oculist
of the Vienna High School, will discuss
the effect of blackboards and the position
of lighting of school desks In many
places the blackboard is in great dis

that it taxes the eyesight of children

nized as official languages. and papers and
addresses in each of these have places
upon the program. Every known subject
pertaining in any way to school SANTA
ton will be brought forward at this
congress and discussed by experts. Ex-
periments which have proved successful
in other countries will be described in
order that suggestions may be made for
reforms that can be adapted to suit the
needs Of each locality represented.
The exhibits will comprise an interest
ing feature of this congress. These will
represent each foreign country, showing
types of school buildings systems of
heating, lighting, ventilation, plumbing,
etc. The United States bureau of educa-
ton will have several exhibits. One of
them is collection of the recent ltera-
ture which has been published upon
school hygiene in all parts of the world.
1t has been arranged by DIR. Fletcher b.
Dresslar of the school hygiene depart
ment of the bureau of education. A
correspondence with more than o,OOO per-
sons was necessary to obtain this eX-
hibit, many articles of which are trans
lations from foreign languages. Another
American exhibit which cannot but be
greatly appreciated is a collection or
photographs showing public school build
ings from the different states. Some OF
these pictures are of great historic value,
representing school buildings connected
with the earliest development of the
country. One. which comes from Della
ware, was used for school purposes be-
fore the revolutionary war. Several OF
the western states have sent in pictures
of mud huts and sod houses which served
as a pleace of education for the children
OF growing towns until more imposing
structures could be erected. Frequently
a picture of an old, unattractive building
will be accompanied by one showing an
up-to-date schoolhouse with all modern
equipment, thus indicating the progress
which has been made. Other pictures
show only too clearly the improvements
which should be made for the good of
the children of some community These
pictures have been collected with pains
taking care by Mrs. Goldberg of he
bureau of education and are her per-
sonal contribution to the congress.

sentiment is urging them to it. In small
towns and the rural districts, where no
sewerage is provided. the matter of toilet
rooms is worthy of attention, and among
the exhibits of the school hygiene con-
gress will be model plans and pictures
for these buildings. some of which have
already had satisfactory trial in other
countries.
