In reply, the man told us he was

the captain believed the man and asked
for a volunteer for the rescue. To
cross the canal meant exposure to the

Rural School Active.

ut is through the rural school.
whence the infection comes, that the
remedy must also come. The measures
necessary for permanent control Of
hookworm disease are health supervi-
sion, health instruction and perfect
sanitation. The rural school can aid in
health supervision: it can supplement
and drive home health instruction, and
above all it can teach good health and
clean living by being itself a model of
sanitation for the community. No mat
ter how energetic Il national or state
campaign for eradication may be; no
matter how many cases of hookworm
disease are cured for the time being,
unless the school and the community
maintain a constant vigilance in be-
half of positive measures for good
health, permanent control of hook
worm or any other disease transmit
ted by soiU pollution will be impossi-
BILE.
"Hookworm disease, like typhoid
fever, is due to careless disposal of
human eXcreta. Once schools and dwell
ings in country districts are provided
with sanitary privies of one type or
another there will be little danger
from hookworm.
"a study of the hookworm problem
has shown not only the need TO- sani-
tary privies, but the need for more
adequate sanitary supervision Dy COM
petent medical officers. There should
be in every community 3 capable su-
perintendent of health, devoting his
whole time to public health work.
Frequent and systematic instruc-
tion by the public schools in the eie-
ments of personal and community hy-
gtene is necessary for permanent con-
troll of disease. When the citizens of a
community are taught from early
childhood the necessity for the care of
health, they will need no urging to
provide expert health supervision and
sanitary privies in every community
The campaign against hookworm
disease is a campaign of education, and
it is right that it shsoufd be waged in
the public schools"

Ills Due to Hookworm.

Many ills that have been attributed
to mental and moral weakness of whole
bodies of people are now definitely
known to be due to this infection. and
durable with its cure. Its eradication
is one of the most important and press
ing problems before the people of the
southern half of the United States and
of other semi tropical lands.
"In combating hooiworm disease it
has been found that the rural school
is the greatest medium for the spread
of the infection and the most impor-
tant protective agency aga inst ii. In
some schools investigated the infec-
ton has heen found TO be lG0 per cent
the teacher and every pupil a victim
of the disease. Records of the interna-
tional health. commission show an av-
erage infection among rural children
of school age for whole counties run
ming as high as 20 to 80 per cent, while
in some sections of Virginia, Kentucky.
North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas
and other states the disease is less
widespread, with 10 per cent or s2ss of
the school population infected with
hookworms The general average for
all the children examined to date is 40
