Cooperation with Nurse in Eff

Cleanliness

Fads initiating the undesirable char
acteristics Of their elders often spring
up among high school boys and girls.
Such has been the case In Benning-
ton, AS a result the superintendent
of schools has issued the following
notice, which was s.frst referred to the
chairman of the school trustees and
approved and endorsed by him:
The efforts which the school nurse
is making to secure personal cleanIi-
ness on the part of high school pupils
are hereby heartily endorsed Her
rulings to the effect that certain fash
ions in dress, the use OF makeup and
the stencil resulting from the recent
use Of tobacco make boys and girls
unfit to appear as pupils in reput-
able school, are sustained.
BOYS using cigarettes about school
either By day or at the time
of social functions, or on tie way to
and from school are believed to exert
a harmful influence on their fellows
and are to be dealt with accordingly.
