INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS IN DELAWARE

DR.. Clark, of the Public Health Ser
vice of the Federal Government, Wis
tied the state recently to arrange for
a survey of the health and hygienic
conditions in the schools of one coun-
ty of the state. The work begins at
once and probably will take the whole
winter for completion Four exper-
fenced physicians will work together
and make a study of the air space, the
amount of light, kind and quantity of
heat, ventilation and sanitary condi-
tiOns as thorough as possible. The
mental condition, hearing and eye
sight of each child will be investigat-
ed and any pathological conditions
determined and studied in the rela-
tiOn to their cause and possible treat
ment This work is the result of the
activities of the Delaware CO-oDera-
tive Educational Society, which was or
ganized last spring and is representa-
tive of every organization in the state
which is concerned with social well
fare and uplift. The work of the pub
lie health service is one of the most
valuable movements inaugurated by
the association; it has the unqualified
support of the State Board of Health
and State Board of Education.

CAULK CLUB SOCIAL COLUMN

Arrangements have been made by
w. L. Grier for a big time Thanksgiv-

cured two of the fastest and best bas-

Riverton team of Palmyra, N. J. Pre-
vious to this game the High School

be an interesting an enjoyable way to
spend Thanksgiving evening This en-
tertainment will be under the auspices
of the Caulk Club. Admission will be
so cents. We would like to say that
this is not a benefit, as it will be hard
ly possible to accommodate enough
people to pay expenses.
So much enthusiasm has been Gre
ated by the efforts of the Lyceum
Committee, that another literary and
musical is being prepared and the next
offering will be on the evening of De-
cember 7th The complete program
will appear in later edition of this

DRY SPELL BROKEN BY RAIN

The dry spell of weather. which has
been continuous in this section for al
most a month, was broken by a good
soaking rain on Sunday last. The
storm continued all night and until
about noon on Monday The farmers
in many sections had been unable to
finish husking their corn, because of
the dry weather which caused the fod-
der to break and cut their hands when
it was handled. The rain has given
them the opportunity for which they
have been waiting to finish saving
this crop. Young clover and wheat
were suffering for want of moisture.
but the rains have given them the de-
sired start.
