Is Laws requiring sanitary conditions

Union. according to IL bulletin on
School Sanitation, just issued by the
bureau of education of the United
States department OF The interior.
Progress in this phase of education has
been made almost entirely within the
last decade. That the change for the
better was accomplished so rapidly
was due for the most part to the rcadi-
ness Of each state TO profit by the eX-
ample of the others. a law passed in
one extreme of the country today is
copied within month or n year by an
other state. perhaps 1000 or 5000
miles away.
In thrty-eight states lega, provisions
regarding the school site have been es.
tablished Nearly all these provisions
are state wide in their application and
are mandatory in character Kansas
