The :sFactory:Test' for Health

A careful man won't drive his car
down to the ONCE in the morning IL
he hears q knock" in the engine, yet
the same man very often will let his
child go off to school complaining
of a sore throat. He prides himself
on the fact that he can discover little
defects in his motor in time to pre-
vent serious breakdown. He pooh

logical as the careful inspection and
to a trip is the examination and
treatment Of the defects in his chill
school.
Parents need to- be. certain that the
child can see well. that he hears well,
that his teeth are good and that he
Is free from minor physical defects

factory test" without which the av-
erage purchaser would not feel safe
in buying motorcar.
At the present time only a COM
parativeiy few states and cities have
made legal provision for periodic in
spection Of school children. The ma
jority of all children attending school,
therefore, are without proper protec-
tion from the. spread of communi-
cable diseases. If child's resistance
has been lowered by neglected
physical defects he is much more liza
BILE to contract a serious disease.
Diphtheria. for instance, is a dis
ease most often occurring in school
children. It is caused by a small
germ called the diphtheria bacillus.
Often parents think the disease is
nothing more than a very mild sore

By ]. H. MILLAR,
Director Boys and Girls Newspaper Service.
According to the American Maya
zine, Nose Jacobs of Des Moines is the
richest newsboy in America. His sue
cess is due to his tactful ways of ac-
commodating people. For example.
whenever any man of prominence
comes to his city, Nose is at the train
to hand him the latest copy of his
home paper as soon as he gets off
This one original trick has earned
Widespread fame.
More boys earn money outside of
school by selling papers than by any
other way. 1t would pay them well to
learn how to be real statesmen like
Nose, and not just ordinary "newsies."

After the reading of Proclamation OF

whole membership was not present,
to be benefited by this address. A
sumptuous banquet was then serv-
