RURAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS
Must Get Plans For Building
Approved by State.

Boise, Idaho. Plans and speci-
fications for a number of school,
houses that can be built in rural
districts at cost ranging from
$500 to $4,000, are contained in the
April number of the Idaho Bulletin
of Education, pamphlet issued
quarterly under the direction of the
state board of education.
The rules of the state board of
education and those of the state
board of health require that all
plans for new school buildings
must be approved by the two de-
partments before construction
work can be started. In many dis
tricts, plans for schoolhouses have
been made up by carpenters, who
pay but little attention to ventila-
ton, light, etc. TO break up the
practice of permitting contractors
to draw plans for the buildings in
the rural districts where schools OF
but a single room are erected, and
to bring about uniform type Of
buildings, the educational board
has had plans prepared by archi-
tects for five different styles ol
schoolhouses, of one room each,
The plans and drawings are being
mailed out by the educational de-
partment to the school trustee:

wanted. No charge is made foI

Cleanup Day
Is Urged
Prevention Recommended as Only Feas-
ible Way to Exterminate the Fly.

FolloWing is circular letter No.
27 of the state board of health:
This is the season which de-
mands special activity on the part
OF the health organizations of the
state as it is the time to apply the
ounce of prevention where it will
do the most good.
For years this department under
the direction of the state board OF
health has invited attention to the
dangers of flies, showing that they
are responsible for large proper
ton of the deaths from typhoid
fever, intestinal diseases Of infants,
etc., occurring in Idaho, and urg-
ing the prosecution of a constant
warfare against them.
1t is impossible to effectively
control flies by swatting, poisoning
and trapping, although all these
measures are useful; but it is en-.
tirely feasible to practically ex-
terminate them by preventing them
from breeding. Fortunately this
can readily be accomplished, mas
much as they can only breed in
filth and refuse, the thorough
destruction Of which is all that is
required.
A systematic clean up campaign
under the supervision of the local
board of health should be inaugu-
rated in every town in the state.
The few flies that have survived
the winter will become the ances
tors OF countless swarms unless
there is prompt action.
Especial attention should be
given to the early proper disposl
ton OF stable refuse as this materi
al furnishes the breeding place fol
fully ninety per cent OF flies, thu
balance being hatched in garbage
and other forms of refuse and filth
which also should be thorough,
disposed of.
A public clean up day in eacl
community is strongly urged, ant
it is recommended that this or mex
week be selected for this work.
The. cooperation of healt
boards, schools, commercial clubs
city and village officials and In
citizens in maintaining clea
premises throughout the fly seaso
will insure practically fyless town
and result in incalculable benet
to the public health.
