In making up suggestions for series
or cabinets for schools i have had the
help OF DIR. A. NJ. Harvey. surgeon to
the Crane company
II will be noticed that the equipment
recommended for country schools Is
somewhat more complete than that Tor
city schools. The reason is that relief
from outside sources is not so easily
had as in the case of city schools.
When help is summoned from the out
side II will be longer in arriving, and
/ an injured child being transported
home will have a longer trip. The
country school must be more nearly
self sufficient, and therefore for 1t q
fuller equipment Is provided.
In addition to the emergency cabinet
have added suggestions for some
other equipment. This equipment will
De found useful in promoting the eff
iciency and physical welfare OF the
Students, but IL cannot be classed as
equipment needed for emergencies.
