Upon reaching our billet, we outlined
our plan. We decided that next morn

"'Sure enough, along one edge of the
field ran a thick hedge. We secreted
ourselves in this and waited for de-

The farmer used the same grays in

that if we searched in his cellar and
raised up an old flagstOne with

established in an estaminet in little
French village eleven kilos distant.
His confederate was so situated on
the road that troops coming into the
village had to pass the door. AS
troops march only at night while in
the fire sector, his confederate could
safely figure out that the passing
troops would be quartered in his viii

cover of darkness, they would start
for the next village, and would have
to pass the point in the road by the
old church. He would Immediately

SENATE HAD TO
SWALLOW PILL 1T
ROLLED FOR HOUSE

During it's closing hours the house
put one over on the senate and the
latter body bucked itself to death over
the matter, not caring to swallow the
pill it had prepared for the house.
Reference is here made to the dispo-
sition of the primary bill, which was
passed by the senate and then killed
by that body.
Much time was taken up in both
ends of the capitol working on the
primary bill introduced by Senator
Cash. The house added a great many
amendments. The most important of
these was the striking out of the cam
paign book provided for in the Bry-
an primary law, and making the board
OF county commissioners elective from
the county at large.
It went over to the senate during
the afternoon of the day before adj
journment. The senate concurred in

Laboratory examinations would send
the numbers way up.
"'-Note that these three conditions are
Closely allied. Distinctions are not
always easy to make.
<%"-Really more than these do not see

sa"s-Note nearly 2-5 have bad teeth.
The following modified rules as recom-
mended by the committee of the Ameri-
can Public Health Association Medical
Inspection of Schools. may very aptly be
applied to the situation IN Pensacola:
/. system of medical inspection of
schools be established.
q This system to be under the control
OF the health department.
9. Work consist of (a) Exclusion of
contagious cases; OBJ Detection of phys
ica1 defects.
4. Maximum number of pupils 5000
under one doctor and one nurse.
5. Clinics to be established under con-
troll OF health department for (a) Purpose
of correcting ~hysicaI defects: OBJ Pur-
pose Of treatment of defective teeth-den-
tai. (Only for those unable to pay)
6. Nurses devote whole time-be train
ed-on adequate salary.
It is pretty generally known in this
community that definite concerted efforts
have been on foot since early in February
to bring about conditions which would
make for better health. The final plan
was to have a fun functioning health de-
partment which could sustain the weight
of routine matters of sanitation as we'll
as bear the brunt OF an emergency like
an epidemic or disaster.
A medical officer of the U. s. Public
Health Service was detailed to work in
conjunction with the state and local
authorities to this end. There were
provisions made for school inspection.
But as work in the schools is a recog-
nized means of approaching the health
mediately laid to handle the neglected
Mutation.
Some time in March the board of educa-
ton and county commissioners jointly had
employed a social worker ror the rural
schools of the county. She was to assist
the district health officer who agreed to
examine all the rural school children.
The following work was to be effected as
indicated. The work began promptly and
physical inspections were completed in
this way. This in conjunction with the
city work gives a fair idea of the physi-
cal health of all children attending
school in Escambia county.
The physical inspection cards provided
by the state board were distributed to
the schools in the city limits. The teach
ers filled out the general data regarding
the children During April the medical
officer examined nearly 1900 children.
During May when the work had to be
rushed owing to the close or the session,
a physician detailed from the Child We'll
fare bureau of the state board of health
completed the work by examining about
/ 200 more pupils. Ladies volunteering
under the Red Cross assisted as clerks.
The cooperation shown by the school
board and Superintendent of schools was
all that could be asked for. The princi-
pals and teachers when they understood
the serious import and high desirability
of the examinations assisted materially in
