our minds and bodies are capable OF
their best work.
Science has demonstrated that our
most dreaded maladies can be in q
large measure prevented by a knowl-
edge of the laws of sanitation by hy.
giene. Our state board of health and
department of education has been en-
gagged in educating our people on this
subject and much good has been al
ready accomplished. The germs of
our most dreaded diseases incubate
and reach maturity in filth.
The department of education has
thought proper that Health Day"
should be observed by all, and it has
issued program to be carried out in
our public schools.
Concurring fully in this campaign of
education and realizing the good to
follow it, /, Earl Brewer, governor of
the state of Mississippi, do issue this
proclamation asking our people to OBJ
serve Friday, the. 10th day of October,
1915, as Health Day. and | COM
mand the six months program issued
by the department of education to be
inaugurated on that day.
Even from the body's purity the
mind receives secret sympathetic
aid"
Let us instill into our children clean
and right living and fit them for their
duty as citizens of our great country.
In testimony whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the State of Mississippi
to be affixed this the 10th day of Sep
