The work of supervising the health
of school children began about IA years
ago, at which time only eight Amerl-
can cities had any plan for protecting
the health of school children. Ten years
later it was reported that over 400
American cities had organized health
work in schools. Today probably 100
cities have corps of school nurses. As
far back as two years ago it was re-
ported that AZ American cities were
employing staffs of school dentists, and
It is probable that many other cities
have undertaken the same work within
the time elapsed since that report.

Hospitality Real Coin of Homo Life.
From "Novel Ways of Entertaining" by
Florence Hull Winterburn, Pub

It is the most experienced workings, the
people accustomed to all the luxuries,
who like best the novelty of simple little
dinners and teas with the spice of fresh
interest In them Thackeray tells a nice
tale OF old Goldstlck going to dine with
his poor friend who served up excellent
mutton chops himself from the stove and
popped them on his plate piping hot with
an air of bonhomie and good fellowship
that amazed and startled the millionaire,
who, nevertheless, enjoyed himself hugely.
Something less crude will please our
modern taste more, but the spirit Is the
same; spontaneous, genuine hospitality is
the real coin of home life, and those who
receive it are more touched than by the
splendors OF entertainments that cost the
glyers efforts they make with reluctance
and through sacrifice to conventionaltty.
