The work includes the rewriting of
practically all of the stations on the

at work in Morris during this period
of construction which has not been

Cross Nurses in Minnesota, spent the
day Strengthening out difficulties at
this end between the Red Cross and
Minnesota Public Health at the
Headquarters end. Thursday physi-
cal examinations were started in the
Morris schools. The 9Th grade was
taken first-one half hour was spent
on preliminary health talk and like
wise in the other grades as they we're
examined. The following Friday, the
second grade was finished and part of
the primary, leaving about 20 pupils
in the grade and the high school to
be examined at latter date. In all
17S pupils were examined the report
of which is on a separate sheet.
Saturday is spent at the Office in
the Stevens County Farm Bureau for
the purpose of meeting and conferr-
ing with parents. So far, only one
mother has called. 1t is the great
desire of the nurse and committee
that more parents make use of the
Saturday office hours.
While the usual number of defec-
tive tonsils, adenoids and eyes were
found, an unusual number of defec-
tive teeth is to be noted, and what
is even more noticeable is the num-
Der of underweight children. The
number listed is only Of those from
1925 lbs. underweight, there being
an equal, if not greater, number from
$40 lbs underweight. While not
extremely dangerous it may become
a matter of grave Importance and
steps should be taken to remedy the
condition Immediately. Home visits
in two cases gave material for a re-
port to the Child Welfare Board.

Value of College Education..

There was never a time when expert khowl-
edge was so highly priced and so highly COM
pensated.
High wages for unframed labor will tempt
many young man to discount the value of
college education. But such an educationj rep
resenting the work of four years, viewed mere
ly as an investment of time and of money, is
equal in earning capacity to an estate of more
than 10000. i.
What estate comparable with this can the
parent of average means hope to give or leave
to his son? What young man can acquire that
much value in the same time at any other bust
ness?
Education fits one for a life whose possibili-
ties are limited only by his capacity ana char
acter. Eventually for the unframed there
awaits the slavery of ignorant and und irected
effort.
Clemson College brings within the reath of
every young man in South Carolina the benefits
and possibilities of technical education At
Clemson College a boy from the humblest home
in Sout tfp Carolina can prepare himself tfor a
high place in the service Of his state and rstioo.
