with an appeal for cooperation
on the part OF parents whose
children are in school. 1t SAYS:
"Many school patrons never
know the exact conditions in
the rural schools which their
children attend, and many
would be amazed to know how
primitive are the sanitary mr..
rangement in many schools.
Despite the great improvements
IN many counties, there are
scores and hundreds of schools
IN rural Virginia today where
practically no attention is paid
the health of the children. 1t
is manifestly impossible for the
State Board of Health and the
Department of Public Instruc-
ton to correct these conditions
were there is no strong local
sentiment in behalf of improve
mcnts. But if the parents and
taxpayers who foot the bills
will advise themselves of exact
conditions and will demand
necessary changes, the school
trustees viii proceed promptly
to make them. Every mother
in rural Virginia should visit
the school her child attends
and should see things as they
are

EXAMINE 11,7OO IN SCOTT

All Records for Attendance
on Hookworm Dispen-

tered.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 10
The State Board of Health to.
day announced that at the hook
worm dispensary in Scott Coun-
ty, IL, 200 persons have been ex-
amined tor parasitic diseases.
Every record, not only for Vir-
ginia but for the entire South,
has been broken.
Since the establishment of
the Rockefeller Sanitary com
mission in 1909, several hundred
dispensaries have been held in
the South from Virginia, where
the work was inaugurated, to
Texas, where it is still in pro.
gress. During this time, every
effort has been made aud every
legitimate means of advertising
has been employed to induce
the people to be examined for
hook and kindred dis
eases. In Lee County, where q
dispensary was held last year,
9,0l3 persons were examined
for hookworm and in Laurel
Co. Kentucky, the record was
wrested from Virginia with the
examination of 300 persons.
Scott County, however. has
brought the record back TO tn,

Rural Schools
Much Improved
Board of Health Advises Pa,
irons TO Visit and Inspect
Premises Where Chill
dren are Taught.

Richmond, Va, Sept. l2.-
The opening of the elementary
schools this week in rural dis
tricts will be marked by many
substantial sanitary improve
ments. Conditions that men.
aced the health of school chill
dren have been remcdied.
Sanitary convenienccs have
been installed Better venti-
lation will be provided in many
places. But as there are many
localities in which nothing has
been done, the State Board of
Health, in its weekly bulletin
issued today, urges school pa
irons to visit the schools and
to decide for themselves wheth
er the health of their children
is safeguarded during the long
hours they must remain in the
schools.
The State Department of Pub.
lie Instruction and the division
superintendent of the counties
where improvements have been
made are given much praise by
the State Board of Health for
their interest in the better san
itation of rchool premises.
AS the health authorities
point out, the position taken by
the Department of Public In
struction, that funds would not
be allowed schools which were
lacking in the sanitary essen
tails required by law, has led
to many important changes. In
other districts, the division su.
perintcndents have interested
themselves in the health of the
school children under their
charge and have co-operated
earnestly with the health in
spectors who have examined
conditions.
One of the most encouraging
examples of public co operation
reported by the State Board of
Health comes from Loudon
county. During the closing
weeks of the spring session in
Loudon, the State Board of
Health sent inspectors into the
county who had a thorough
medical examination of the
school children following which
a brief campaign was under
taken in the county to arouse
public interest in the better pro-
lection of the children's health.
At the purccliville Assembly,
the matter was presented To the
people of Loudon and was TAX
en- up by them with alacrity.
An organization has pow been
perfected and plans are on foot
for the employment of a rural
visiting nurse To cooperate
with the school authorities and
with charitable organizations
in u steady program Of sanitary
Improvement.
The bulletin of the Board re-
views these facts and concludes
