Infections are picked up when

Facilities should be provided in the

at home. Towels, soap, wash basin

normal, one time county superinten-
dent, followed with talk on Progress.
Mr.. Brockert told the story Of the sim

wer being "a lot of little nuts con
trolled by crank"
Mr.. BrOckert advocated:

township school. Every state now
has compulsory school attendance ex-
cept Florida and South Carolina

and witty remarks on the powers and
duties OF school board. Mr. ThOmp-
son said that the federal laws were first
the state next, the county next and
the district last The district must
pass it's rules in conformity to the
general laws, but once passed they
are supreme and no individual in the
district can dictate to the board.
Funds raised can be spent for any pur-
pose the board sees fit, said Mr..
Thompson, but they must furnish a
proper account of their stewardship
at the annual meeting.
Mr. Thompson illustrated how little
children are allowed to grow up with
warped bodies and minds just because
their school seats do not fit them GA

In conclusion he pointed out that it

to be healthful and to educate and
protect the neighbours child in order
