IN IOWA SCHOOLS.

The State University of Iowa has
recently published valuable bulletin
On THE HYGIENE Conditions in the
Iowa Schools" This report is based
en- a study Of the actual conditions
Prevailing in the schools. The infor-
nation obtained discloses the specific
weaknesses as well as the strong
roints in the regulations for school
sanitation and school hygiene and in
their enforcement and administration.
This definite survey is of value to all
who are interested in the improve
r.ent of hygienic conditions in vii
lagos and open country.
Of the 1S1 cities and towns includ-
cd in the inquiry 55 per cent. were
rural villages of not more than 1000
population, 20 per cent. were towns
with populations ranging from 1901
to 5000, and IA per cent. were very
small villages or strictly country COM
munities having consolidated schools.
Thus the study measures the hygienic
conditions of rural schools.
The inquiry includes;
1. Sanitation of school grounds and
buildings.
2. HYGIENE conditions of school
rooms and classrooms.
8. The special precautions taken
fer the protection of the children,
Some of the specific points of the
Investigation are: Size and charac
ter of school grounds, suitable play
grounds, playground surface, the
width, lighting and cleanliness of the
halls, the water supply, distance OF
wells from TOILETS, ventilation sys-
tens, washing of floors, number OF
children subjected to dusts of sweep
ing, the testing of eyes, and dental
inspection.
Tewnty-one per cent. of the school
grounds are less than one acre in size
1903 schools; II per cent. of TIN?
school grounds are reported as wet;
60 per cent. of the school halls are
too narrow; 33 1-3 per cent. of the
school buildings are new; 40 per cent
CT the schools depend on wells fol-
drinking water; more than half the
wells reported are dug; the water sup
ply of IS out of the $40 schools re
porting had never been tested of 6:
schools reporting the distance of tht
wells from the toilet, the distance was
less than rs feet in 90 schools! ~ t.
100 feet in II schools; 100 to 200 fee!
CT more in 80 schools; "a per cent. ot
the schools use thermometers; 20 pei
cent. of the schools hang the Their.
mometer too high; Sc per cent. do moi
air the rooms periodically by opening
windows; so per cent. of the rooms
reported are larger than the standard
size; II per cent. of the schools use
single seats only; IL per cent. of the
schools report adjustable seats; 81
Per cent. of the schools use the objec
tionable method of attaching window
shades at the top; in 66 per cent. O
the schools the children's eyes are no
regularly tested
These facts concerning the hygieni,
conditions in the Iowa schools are ty
peal of the kind of information need
ed for every school system. Their
should be more such surveys to b
followed by local propaganda LEADING
to improvement of the prevailing con
ditions.
