TEACHERS MUST
HOLD HEALTH
CERTIFICATE

Tallahassee, Oct, S-Hon. VIII
liam N. Sheats, state superintendent
OF public instruction, has sent the fol-
| lowing letter to each of the superin-
tendents of the several counties Of
Florida:
Tallahassee, Sept 25, 1920.
To the County Superintendents:
My Dear Sirs:--I am notified by
DR.. Ralph N. Greene, state health
officer, that the state board Of health
has adopted regulation forbidding
persons to teach In the schools Of
Florida unless a health certificate Is
presented from a reputable physi
clan showing that the teacher Is not
affected with or the carrier Of a com.
municable disease.
The state board of health has the
legal authority to enforce such reg
uIations; then, it becomes the duty
of the school authorities to observe
and execute the regulations with 10y
atty and fidelity.
The following is the regulation
adopted by the state board of health:
Rule No. S1--A rule forbidding
individuals to teach in the public
schools of Florida without having
health certificate from a reputable
physician showing that they are not
affected with or are carriers Of com
municable diseases.
Section No. ALL teachers or in
structors in any public school oper
ating in the state of Florida or In any
private school operating within the
state Ct Florida, shall be required to
file with the board of health annually
before the beginning Of each school
year certificate obtained from
reputable physician who Is licensed
to practice medicine in the state Of
Florida certifying that said teacher
or instructor has been duly and care
fully examined and Is free from com
municable diseases and is believed to
be a non. carrier thereof
I take pleasure in calling your at
! tention to these regulations, and
highly endorse The action of the state
board of health IN its efforts to pro-
tect the school children from sick and
dangerous teachers-the children are
worthy of the highest protection
Yours very truly.
". N. SHEATS,
State Superintendent of Public In
struction.

dy pool OF politics can be made to
yield pearls of great price If our sane,
hcme-loving women will use the vote
in the right way.
Men have said that woman's place
is in the home, and we women hear
THY agree with them. provided 1t is
understood that our home is In the
whole world.
The woman in comfortable circum-
stances who says, Il have no time
for politics; I do my full duty when
rear my children to be good citi-
zens,' Is mistaken. She may devote
her whole life to bringing up her own
child to we'll fed, well bred exist
ence, but as long as other mothers
children strain their eyes and bend
their little underfed bodies in sweat
shops, factories and mills, she is not
doing her full duty. She may use the
finest and most intelligent care and
equipment for bringing her own ba-
bies into the world, but as long as
other mothers die with their babes
| from lack of skilled attention and
care, she is not doing her full duty.
1t is not given to every woman to
be blessed with babies; but any wom-
al. married or single, with children
or without, who helps to make this
world better place for babies and
their mothers, has not lived her life
in vain.
But how can we do this? How
can we help?" some one may ask.
One way to do it is to see that our
senators and congressman vote for
the Sheppard Towner bill, which pro-
vides help for every mother and pros
pective mother in need of help. We
can insist on their voting for the bill
now before Congress providing a vast
system of education for the whole
country. We can demand that Con-
gress be run on budget system, that
your money and mine may not be
wasted but devoted to the carrying
out of such beneficial legislation as
the bills mentioned.
After all, our legislators are but
our hired men, whom we pay to serve
us. Whether they serve us poorly
or we'll rests with us. We should
care in selecting them in the first
place, then watch them like hawk
to see that they vote right when the
bills come before them affecting the
welfare Of tAe entire country. II they

evening by the Workers Council and
WOMEN OF LAKELAND URGED TO
EXERCISE POWER OF SUFFRAGE

Members of the Woman's Club helt
the first regular meeting of the sea
son at the Club House yesterday. In
:he absence of Mrs. Krause, presi'
dent, Mrs. J b, Hannah, vice presi-
dent occupied the chair. Her intro
ductory speech so clearly and forcibly
stated the privileges and duties OF
women today, that the club voted a
request for its publication in the
daily papers. Mrs. Hannah's re-
marks were as follows:
If our president were with us, am
sure that she would have an inspiring
message for us, but in her absence ]
will say few words.
Since our meeting last year a won
de.Iul gift has been bestowed on club
women and women in general. We
are changed people. Last year we
net as earnest women, interested In
civic and human betterment and de-
sirous to do what we could TO accom-
plish il. This year We come together
lust as earnest, just as interested, but
with a mighty power in our hands
the ballot.
We used to urge others to save ba-
bies, change womens hours Of factory
work and curtail child labor, but now
We can do these things. If they are
NOT 6cne, no one will be to blame but
ourselves. We can no longer lay the
blame for unsatisfactory conditions
al the doors of men.
There was a time when the Fed.
oratiar Of Women's Clubs kept en-
tireiy cut of politics, and probably
there are many who still wish to dc
SC. but the great majority wish to
turn their faces toward progress, hav-
ing 10 desire to worship things as
they were.
This was proved by the election as
nresident of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs of Mrs. Thomas G
Winter. an ardent suffragist, over
Miss Bacon of Boston, an anti The
Golden Prairie Biennial at Des
Moines. Iowa, marked the turning
point in the history of the Federation
of Women's Clubs. The election oi
Mrs. WiIter virtually pledged the
clubs to a program making good citi-
zenship paramount.
Nearly every subject which the
women's clubs have ever been inter
ested in-child welfare, public health
music. Fairgrounds, libraries and
/ Americanization-these are All close
