Mosquitoes and School Work.

The intimate relation Of mosquitoes
to intellectual activity was demon
strated one day recently by Drs.
Molloy, Taylor and Garrison of the
Health Service. They were driving
through the country in a southeast
ern county, when they stopped at a
rural school house which presented
an attractive appearance. The build
ing was well built and supplied with
modern equipment, and there were
thirty-three pupils IN attendance.
But many of the pupils had chills
and fever. There were thousands OF
notwithstanding mosquitoes on the
walls and ceilings and the corners of
the room. The children were COM
planning that the mosquitoes were bit
ing them so they could scarcely
study. The teacher had malaria.
Thus there was completed in that
building the life cycle of the malaria
breeding mosquito, which bites those
afflicted with malaria and carries the
disease to others. The physicians aG-
vised that the building be screened
at once.
In an adjoining district they found
the building screened. the sanitary
conditions of the school superior and
the children happy and contented and
doing good work.
