DIRTY DISHWASHING
DANGEROUS TO HEALTH
Noted Lecturer Raps Housewives,
Soda Fountains and Restau-
rants. Says Average
Home is Unsafe

Dirty Dishwashing" was the
subject of one of the lectures of
a noted dietitian, who didn't
mind telling even expert house,
wives of the dirty, insanitary
practices that went on daily in
their kitchens. And she didn't
stop with the housewives and
kitchens but raped thesoda foun-
tains and the restaurants to the
health of the people who patron
lied them. In a recent lecture to
would be-cooks and observing
housekeepers, she said:
THE average home represented
here this morning is absolutely
unsafe as far as cleanliness of
the dishes is concerned, | dare
say that many of them are posi-
lively dangerous. ! have been in
many a well to do home and
found that if the housewife kept
a kitchen maid, that she paid no
attention whatever to the way
the dishes were washed, and if
she didn't keep a maid, she
washed them no better herself.
There seems to be an almost
universal belief that lukewarm
water, a little soap and any kind
of an old rag will clean dishes.
People don't seem to know that
to actually clean dishes, particular
ly cups, glasses, forks and spoons,
of dangerous mouth secretions,
which is the means of spreading
most of our contagious diseases
from tuberculosis to whooping
cough, that it is necessary to scald
them. Some people for fear of
breaking their glasses never
scald them. They don't know that
if water is poured on the out
side and inside at the same time,
SO that the glass expands evenly
on both sides, that there is no
danger of breaking them.
Recently helped a friend to
wash her dishes after she had
given a party including 60 people.
Several women in the crowd had
colds, and part of the gossip of
the afternoon was that two
others had tuberculosis. All that
my friend did was to wash them
through dirty, soapy water and
give them to me dry in a
much used drying towel. When
| demonstrated with her for
not scalding them, she called me
a crank.
1t is not only practicable but it
saves labor to have a pan or pot
Of boiling water in which to dip
the dishes, especially the cups,
knives, forks and spoons, after
they have been washed. This
saves drying them and leaves
them clean and glistening, and is
easily done by arranging them
in wire baskets.

SCHOOL MOVING PICTURE CIRCUIT

The Roanoke Rapids Graded
Schools opened Wednesday with
the largest enrolment for the
first day in the history of the
school. The number present be-
ing 766. Already this number has
been increased and when the
new pupils are all registered
next Monday the enrolment will
doubtless pass the 800 mark.
This compared with the enroll
ment last year indicates the rapid
growth of the school. The total
enrolment for the first month
last year was only 70l. The en-
rollment for the entire district
this year including both white
and colored will pass the 1000
mark.
The school begins this year
with a great many of the old
teachers retained. The number of
teachers is increased to 20 and
the work of the high school is
extended to form a full four year
high school course. AS far as
possible only teachers who have
college training and some exper-
ience have been employed. The
school begins this years work
with the best teaching force it
has ever had. With these well
trained and experienced teachers
this should be the best year of
the school.
In the high school the course
of study has been extended to
fulfill all the requirements for
entranceinto any A grade college.
After this year our high school
graduates will be able to enter
college or university without
conditions and without examlna-
tons. The High School teachers
are Mr.. H. ]. Pope, Principal
and teacher of Mathematics and
Science; Miss Mary B. Powell,
teacher of History and English;
Miss Helen Weaver, teacher OF
Latin and Modern Languages.
In the Grammar Grades the
departmental plan of instruction
has been adopted. In this way a
teacher can specialize on certain
subjects and all her work being
along the same line she can be-
come more proficient. Miss Ro-
berta Crews will teach Arithmetic
and Drawing; Miss Josephine
Boyce will have the English de-
partment: Mr.. Holland Brantley,
Science and. Penmanship; Miss
Lillian Edgerton, History.
In the Primary department a
new department has been intro
duced, in the form ofan ungraded
class. The purpose of this class
will be to assist in the regarding
and classifying of those children
who are for any reason behind
in this work. Every year there
are a number Of children who
