Hygiene of Public Schools" Treated
in Paper by v. s. Public Health.

In a short paper In the Weekly Public
Health Reports of September IL, 1914, the
need of proper medical and sanitary su-
pervision of rural schools is emphasized.
Despite the fact that the necessary re-
quirements of school hygiene are known,
rural communities have been slow to take
advantage of this knowledge. because Of
the element of expense and the want of
trained sanitary advisors. The lack of
sanitary supervision in the construction
and maintenance of rural school build
ings and of medical supervision of the
pupils was revealed during the recent in
vestigations carried out by officers Of
the Public Health Service during which
a total of s59 schools in nine states were
inspected by service officers engaged in
the work during the scholastic year
In a number of rural communities 1t
was found that the school attendance
was small although the child population
of these districts was relatively large.
1t is believed that due attention to the
proper construction, equipment and
maintenance of school buildings and the
proper adjustment of the curriculum to
the capacities of the child will largely

will reduce juvenile delinquency. The
neglect of sanitary supervision of schools
in these communities results not only in
injury to the child through inability to
take advantage of the opportunity for in
tellectual training by reason of the pres
ence of otherwise preventable and durable
defects, but also in actual calculable
monetary loss through loss of time in
school attendance.
The duty Of the State with respect to
safeguarding the physical and mental
health of the school population is patent
The necessity of this protection to rural
communities is great because, according
to the 1910 census, there are over 3,000,0 900
more children in attendance in rural
schools than in urban. Furthermore
medical inspections in this and other
countries have revealed a high percen-
tage of physical defects among children
that are largely preventable and durable.
There are numerous children in rural
communities who are suffering from de-
fects of this nature, by reason OF the
want of skilled medical advice.
In the course of these Investigations
one officer of the Public Health Service
found more than 10 per cent. of the pu-
pills in q rural schools suffering from
trachoma and more than 20 per cent. in
II schools. The neglect of sanitary pre-

That there is no cause for anxiety re-

opinion of Bishop NJ. C. Harris. super

copal Church in Japan and Korea. The
Bishop informs the Methodist Board of
Foreign Missions at New York as fol-
lows:
While the great war in Europe has
affected both the business and religious
world in general, there has been no in
reference with the work of missions in
the Far East. The churches of Japan
and Korea are undisturbed and regular
activities continue as though the Angel
of Peace were lowering over the whole

When apples are packed in a stand
ard barrel as established by Section
l of the Sulzer law, and are plainly
and conspicuously marked as con-
tanning one barrel of apples of one of

the package, if intended for interstate
commerce, must be marked to comply

or by numerical count. A statement
of numerical count must be qualified

duties of health officer with that of the
medical supervision of schools would
make the employment a such an officer
practicable and profitable.
