SCHOOL SANITATION.
DIR. J. Laruce, Ward Director Of Rural Sanitation.

Of South Carolina, over thirty per cent
had teeth needing immediate dental
attention.
About thirty per cent Of them show
ed evidence Of hookworm disease.
Should any Of your pupils appear pale,
sallow or understood, or should they
backward mentally, instruct the
parents to write to the state board of
health, Columbia, S. c., for mailing
cases and directions for sending spec
linens Of excreta for examination.
Remember that, while all of us are
exposed to contagious diseases, we
may often escape If our resisting
power is normal. In order to have
this so, the most important thing
Is to breathe an abundance of fresh
air day and night. The school room
should always be we'll ventilated, and
the parents should leave the child
ren's sleeping room open. Sanitary
privics for the proper disposal OF
grounds
The drinking water should be from
pump or an artesian we'll. Sur
face water is liable to cause typhoid
fever and other intestinal diseases.
Each child should have Il drinking
cup which can be hung on nail.
This Will prevent the spread Of colds,
measles, diphtheria, scarlet fever, ty-
Nrln
sumption. Each child should have a
single desk. AT least two periods
each week should be devoted to in
structing the children about disease
prevention.
las. Dr.. Rosehau truly says, "Pre-
ventive medicine is the watchword of
the hour and enlistment in the cause
can come only through education?
The teacher will meet with skepti-
cism and sometimes ridicule, but she
should remember that the soft
tongue breaketh the bone" She Ia
fighting for the welfare Of the com
munity and the result Of her labors
will certainly come.
Few Things to be embered.
a sanitary closet costs less than q
case of typhoid fever.
Screening the house may cost $50. 90
to $4,000, but coffin costs more. 1t
will prevent malarlaI fever and ty-
phoid fever.
Pure drinking water Is insurance
against sickness.
Fresh air costs nothing, but is
worth everything. We need as much
Of 1t in winter as in summer.
If you wish to find out how to pre-
vent disease. write to The State Board
Of Health, Columbia, S. C.

Merna School.

Mcrna school was first Old High
Point school erected on top Of a nice
hill, one mile above the present site
Old High Point was built about 1882
by Messrs. Dick, Meares, McKelvcy
Medlock and w. e. and r. A. Nash
and possibly some other help.
1t was torn down and moved in 1897
by Messrs. Meares, Medlock, Nash and
Babb and the frame used in part Of
present house and built on land do
mated by r. A. Nash for schol pur-
poses SO long as used that way.
A district was then surveyed by
order of l.. II. H. Daniel who was then
known as county school commission
er.
r. A. Nash, w. F. Medlock and r.
l.. Meares were then appointed trus-
tees. Later B. l.. Babb was appointed
in place Of r. l.. Meares, resigned.
These served in a body till 1908,
when w. M. Nash was appointed in
place Of r. a. Nash who was dubbed
out of school connection" by reason
Of having no children in school. This
house was nicely ceiled. hoored and
walled in and well painted. A year
or SO later patent desks and seats
were placed instead Of the old style
benches, etc, heater was also placed
in.
We have had as teachers, w. NJ.
Nash, two terms; j. +. McKelvey, w.
A. Medlock, Miss Hattie Nash, Miss
Pauline Mahaffey, Miss Lidie Thomp-
son, Miss Lucia Rarksdale, 3 terms;
Miss Lila Martin, Miss Gena Henry,
Miss Mettie Putnam, terms; Miss
Flossie Coffee, Miss Sheppard, Miss
Mollie Farrow. Miss Ida Taylor, Miss
Powell and Mrs. =. Brooks Nash. 3
terms.
During Miss putnams term Kery
nice library was secured through the
combined efforts of the community
and school funds, county funds and
state funds.
Later, through the same co-opera-
ton, nice addition was made to the
library and I Wish to say here that
1t has been used to great advantage
by all In It's bounds.
Two years ago two mill special
tax was voted by just margin and
we have barely had enough to run
the white school 5 to 51-2 months
and negro school 21-2 to 3 months.
The term has been short but has
accomplished some good. Have had
from 20 to 25 pupils till this year, 1t
has been between 30 and 40.

There is Only ONE Best

Every man who has ever been
talked to by a life insurance agent,
will, no doubt recall, that one of the
claims that the agent made was that
the special company he was represent
ing at the time, was the BEST in the
business, and issued the most liberal
contract, ETC. 1t is FACT that there
are a number of good companies in
business today and that most of them
issue very liberal contracts as COM
pared with those issued previous to
l9O6--before the great upheaval in
New York State, when laws were en-
acted that forced all companies that
should do business in that state, 10
Guarantee in their policies what the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance COM
pany Of Newark, n. j.. had been Guar
anteeing Voluntarily for Many Years
Previous. 1t is a fact that the New
York law was based on the voluntary
practices of the Mutual Benefit and 1t
did not have to change a word in its
contracts to comply with the law. 1t
has always, during the 67 years it has
been business. been recognized as the
leading policy holders company, and
is so recognized today. 1t is the Best
Company and issues the Best Policy,
and if ! cannot prove 1t to your Satis-
faction after you have learned about
all the others, if you care to learn, |
do not want your business. as l recog-
nize the fact that the man who insures
in one company when he has reason
to believe that he would have been
better satisfied in another, has not
done himself justice. Look Before
You Leap.

Up in the Air.-LOrd Lonsdale spoke
in timely fashion when in London the
other day, he advised aviators not to
drink" said a member of the Aero club
in New York, according to the Tri-
bune.
Flying, you see, requires nerve
Hence, it's natural for flyer to take
stimulant before going up. But some
times too many stimulants are taken
and more accidents than you'd believe
are due to this fact.
Indeed, they tell at certain aero
dome a story about rich airman who
got out of his motorcar looking pale
and sickish one day, and said to me-
chanician:
did Byrd fly yesterday afternoon
Yes. sir the mechanic answered
'Did-er'-said the young man with
a blush, did 70"

New Excuse for Bigamy.-When oul
friends, the suffragists, get together
for their meeting it must not be i'm
agined that they spend all their time
in discussing politics, says the CleVe-
land Plain Dealer. There is always
space for consideration of domestic and
millinery affairs and even for the gen.
eral news of the day, national, local
and sartorial.
At headquarters the other morning
one of the prominent suffrage workers
was sitting in a corner absorbed in the
morning paper when another member
strolled up.
rs there any significant news in the
paper today?" she asked.
We'll, what do you think of this!
I've been reading an account of the
Missouri man vino has six wives"
That's nothing my dear" answered
the second lady. 1T only proves that
some men are harder to manage than
others"

that you might learn to care for me,

Now | am going away, to risk my life,

for, so why should fear to die?'

Thank you. BY saying one word you
could keep me from the dangers that
must be faced in that desolate coun-
try"
But it is a girls duty to urge men
to be heroic, not to try to persuade
them to be deaf to the call to do the
splendid thing"
Il suppose you're right. Well, shall
not be deaf to the call"
Il am glad to hear you say that'

one to turn ones trousers up to keep
them free from mud. A case of this
kind resulted in the following amusing
incident:
One muddy morning the absent
minded preacher having rolled down
one trousers leg and forgotten the
other. mounted the platform and start
ed with his usual preliminaries. He
was about to announce his text when
one of the deacons handed him note
from his wife, who was sitting in the
audience Thinking it a notice OF some
coming event, he calmly read: DO
