viroqua Imbibes the Spirit

tHiDhbCS sHC
With the opening of the school year
Viroqua inaugurated the nurse sys-
TEN, or physical overseer. For. this
task Miss Laura Chase was employed
and put in charge. She has been in
augurating this innovation. Viroqua
is not going to lag behind in any I'M
dertaking that is worth while. AS
vet we haven't school doctor, but
all the physicians in the city kindly
consented to help. in order that each
child might have one good superficial
examination this year. This being a
very busy time of the year, the doc
tors could not leave their offices, and
so a number of the young ladies OF
Viroqua, and the teachers, have been
assisting the school nurse in super
vising different groups of children
who have been taken to the doctors
offices for examination. By the time
the Censor leaves the press, most OF
the pupils of the grades and the Model
Department of the Training School
will have had their physicals.
This work has been most interest
ing for all concerned and undoubtedly
will prove to be very worthy under
taking. In instances where serious
defects have been found the parents
will be notified and urged to remedy
these defects as soon as possible for
the sake of the child.

THE BOLD CONTRAST is SHOWN
Pertinent Contrast of the Times Ex-
posed by The Richland Democrat

Is it just the trend of the times and
progressive age, or is it one reason for
the high cost of living? Not many
years since young people found real
pleasure in making up parties. walk
ing to a spelling school or gathering
at some home and spending the even
ing in making molasses candy. Now
adays young people get into pas car
drive fifteen or twenty miles to some
town, attend the theatre or movies,
have a big feed at restaurant and
return home, all as a matter of what
is coming to them. Perhaps the ex-
pense is not much greater in proper
ton to what it cost those days, but
it amounts to big sums in the aggre-
gate and is an illustration only of the
fast times in which we are living.

es a Nurse

Medical inspection, or as it is more
appropriately called, health or n.y.
giene supervision Of schools, is not of
recent origin, according 10 DIR. George
r. Barth, chief medical director of
that branch of the service under the
Milwaukee health department.
As early as 1888, he says, the law
of France charged the school COM
mittees of cities and towns with the
care of keeping the school houses
clean. A royal ordinance four years
later made it the special duty of kim
dergarten supervisors to watch over
the health of little children. Later
DEGREES of 1912 and 1S43 ordered that
every public school be visited by a
physician who was to inspect the To-
calities and general hath of the school
children.
This system of school medical in
spectlon spread throughout Europe,
DIR. Barth says.
1t was not until 1894 that school
inspection was introduced in the Unit
ed States, New York and Boston be-
| ing the first cities to adopt it, Chicago
followed in 1895 and Philadelphia in
1898.
| Health or hygiene supervision of
schools is indispensable in any school
SYSTEM" DR.. Barth says. about SIS
per cent of the people depend on their
| physical well being rather than on
mental attainment to gain liveli-
hood. The state compels all parents
to give their children into it's charge
| for about five hours each day during
the most important period of life-the
growing and developing period. These
children come from all walks of life
and every kind of home, and all freely
mingle at school"
Protects Against Diseases
DIR. Barth thinks that the least the
state can do is to return the child to
the parents in as good condition as it
was when received. This, he says,
means protection Against disease and
physical and mental harm while the
child is in school.
ain its beginning the purpose was
merely to prevent the spread of con-
tagious diseases among children" said
DIR, Barth. "Today, however, it COW
ers a much wider field. 1t is not a
philanthropic undertaking, nor fad.
| 1t is an organized effort to help teach
ers to meet their responsibilities to-
wards the child bodies which control
so effectively the child brains which
| it is their business to assist, to help
parents to keep their progeny proper
ly nourished and clean in body and
mind, to help the taxpayer get all
that he pays for in the way of educa-
ton, and to help build up with certain
| ty and security, race of strong,
healthy, we'll balanced men and wo-
men,"
Every Child Examined
Every child in Milwaukee's public
and parochial schools is. given a COM
plete physical examination to find out
whether it is afflicted with any phys
| ical defect, such as defective vision,
defective hearing, defective teeth, or
enlarged tonsils and adenoids, or heart
disease.
DIR. Barth asserts that one of the
finest systems of school medical in
spection is in Japan. This was estab-
lished in 1898.

BRITISH AIRMEN
CROSS ATLANTIC
Captain Alcock and Lieutenant
Brown Make First Nonstop
Trip Over Ocean.
TIME SIXTEEN HOURS
Voyage Is Without Accident, but
vickers-vimy BipIane Is Forced to
Climb and Dive In Effort to
Escape Fogs.

London, June 1.-THE final goal OF
all the ambitions which flying men
have ventured to dream since the
Wright brothers first rose from the
earth was realized when the British Of
f1cers, Capt. John Alcock and Lieut.. Ar
thur Brown, landed on the Irish coast
after the first nonstop fight across
the Atlantic ocean.
Their voyage was without accident
and without unforeseen incident, SO far
as can be learned. It was a straight
away clean-cut flight, achieved in 16
hours and IL minutes-from New
Foundland to Clifden, Ireland, dis
lance of more than 1900 miles.
Plane Battles With Fogs.
But the brief description which
comes from the air men at Clifden,
tells of an adventurous and amazingly,
hazardous enterprise. Fog and mistsl
hung over the North Atlantic, and tho
Vickers-Vimy biplame climbed and
dove, struggling to extricate herself
from the folds of the airplane's worst
enemy.
She rose to 1900 feet, swooped
down almost to the surface of the sea
and at times the two navigators found
themselves flying upside down only ten.
feet above the water.
Before booming down to earth near
the Clifden wireless station Alcock cir
cled the wireless aerials, seeking the
best spot to reach the earth but no
suitable ground was found, so he
CHANGED it in a bog.
The wireless staff rushed to the aid
Of the aviators. They found Brown
dazed and Alcock temporarily deaf
ened by the force of the impact AS;
! soon as they were able to be escorted
to the wireless station they tele-
graphed the news to their friends,
then had breakfast.
THAT is the best way to cross the
Atlantic" said Lieutenant Brown af.
ter he had eaten.
The landing was made at $40 a. m.
British summer time. In taking the
ground the machine struck heavily and
The fuselage ploughed into the sand.
Neither Of the occupants were injured.
Radio Out of Commission.
Captain Aloock explained the silence
Of his radio instrument by saying that
the wireless propeller blew off soon
after leaving New Foundland.
The Daily Mails correspondent
found Alcock and Brown at Clifden
packing their gear into a huge sack
Alcock's face lit up with smile when
he was congratulated by the CORE
spondent. Brown, who was bending
over packing, said quietly:
"We didn't do so badly, did WEI"
Alcock said with laugh: l am not
1T all tired. Brown, however, con-
tessed, Il am q bit tagged out" The
correspondent says Browns eyes were
slightly bloodshot, but that otherwise
The men looked as if they had not trav.
elled across the ocean.
