READY FOR NEW SCHOOL LAW
Thousands of Teachers Throughout
the State Will be Affected-Oid
Certificates Hold Good

Plans for placing in operation the
new certification law are being work
ed out by the state board of educa-
tion- The new law becomes effective
September l and affects thousands OF
Kansas teachers.
Since the passage of the new certifi-
cation law by the 1915 legislature,
hundreds of letters have been sent to
members of the board inquiring about
certificates issued under the old law
The teachers want to know If their
certificates are annulled by the new
law The board has replied in the
negative
Because of the lack of uniformity
employed in Inc granting of certifi-
Gates by various state schools. the new
law was enacted Certain schools, un-
der the old law, had granted life GER
tificates upon completion of a two
year course, while other schools gave
rour-year certificates. The new law
provides for elementary certificates
when four-year course has been COM
pleted and two years work taken in
one OF the state normals or colleges.
High school certificates Will be issued
only upon completion OF a four-year

lege course The state board has the

SUMMER FEEDING OF BABIES

Hot weather is the time of danger
for the babies. Nearly 1000 babies of
Kansas died last summer from sum-
mer diarrhoea. These deaths might
all have been prevented if these babies
had been given the proper food
The only perfect food for babies is
mothers milk 1t is always ready: it
is never sour; it does not have to be
prepared nor measured and il is al
ways safe for the baby. Breast fed
babies seldom have the bowel trouble
which IS so fatal to bottle fed babies
during the hot weather
There are very few mothers who
cannot nurse their babies if they try to
do so under the direction of a compe-
tent physician, and breast feeding is
the one thing which can prevent this
great loss of babies from preventable
diarrhoea this summer Ten bottle
fed babies die to one that is fed at
the breast
When for any reason it is impossible
to secure mothers milk for a child.
clean, fresh cows milk properly modi-
fed is the best substitute Unless you
are absolutely certain that the milk
You are getting is perfectly safe. it is
best to pasturize it. especially during
the summer months.
Pasturizing milk IN the home may
be done simply and easily After the
milk has been modified. place the
baby's bottles in water to the neck.
Heat the water until it$comes just to
the boiling point, then set it on the
back of the stove for thirty minutes.
After this, the milk should be quickly
cooled and kept on ice until it is
wanted. Warm the milk before feed
ing by placing the bottle in hot water
Never keep the feeding bottle warm
all night as the germs will ferment the
milk and make the baby sick
Baby needs less food but more to
drink in the hot weather. Do not urge
him ever to take more than he wants
and throw away the balance of the
feeding. Never save it for another
meal
If the bowel movements become
loose. do not neglect it because the
baby happens to be teething; it may
mean the beginning of a serious ILL
ness 1t is easier to prevent diarrhoea
than it is to cure it and the proper
treatment at the beginning of an at
tack is worth more than days of treat
ment later.
The important things to do to Pre-
vent summer diarrhoea are:
1. Pasturize the milk in summer
?. Dilute the milk with boiled water
in very hot weather.
8. If acute diarrhoea begins. stop
all food at once, give only cooled
boiled water and send for a doctor
