To Randolph COUNTY Schools:

To Randolph County Schools:
At the last session of the Teach
er's Institute the teachers voted to
use a portion OF one day during the
summer schools to study the health
conditions of the schools and COM
munities in this county. Inasmuch
as almost all the schools will have
opened by July SOth, it was decd.
ed that we observe that day as
Health Day.
The following program was sug-
gested as being appropriate for an
occasion of this kind,
Germs as causes of disease.
Diseases-thelr prevention and
cure.
The Fly, the most dangerous
animal known. Its breeding
place.
The value of screens for the
home, the school building, Of
swatting the fly.
The mosquito as a carrier Of
disease.
Pure food and pure water.
Accidents-First aid to the in
jured,
We sincerely hope that every
school IN the county will endeavor
to render the above PROGRAM, or
something similar on the date men
toned. Patrons are urged to take
an active interest in this effort for
better health. If the citizens of
California, Washington, Illinois,
and other states see the value of a
Health Day, can, we too, not see its
value?

the fullest measure of development,
