The water pump and many Of
the pipes in the H. C. Andersen
school house are frozen. causing
much inconvenience, especially
to the janitor. Jacob Hansen.
The indoor toilets and wash ba-
sins are all put out of use. It
seems strange how the pump
which is inside of the building
should freeze, but nevertheless,
Jack Frost has got to it. In con-
versation with the janitor we
were told that on real cold days
he was obliged to burn more
than two tons Of coal. Thus it is
seen that on such days it costs
nearly as much to operate the
plant as the hire Of our
corps Of seven teachers.

Study Health

1t is not a fear of illness or of death
that we should encourage, but love of
health, sense of responsibility for the
care of our bodies, a desire for bodily
endurance and efficiency and full
achievement.
If the mind is fixed on these ideals,
and the already known means of ap-
preaching them are utilized, the need
less miseries that embitter the lives of
so many may be left to take care of
themselves.
1t is not so much necessary to fight
disease as to cultivate health for the
happiness, contentment and moral gain
that it brings. The State Board of
Health will supply you with literature
relating to restriction and prevention
of any of the communicable diseases
