County Medic4. -nspe Far n.t.
DR.. Gertrude Slaugh., y di-
rector, has issued the fo.lowi state
ment covering conditions Ill the
schools where the inspections have
been completed
Splendid interest has been shown
by the parents in having slight de-
fects corrected and their children
vaccinated in preparation for the
100 per cent r,srfect parade on Feb
ruary 10.
Such interest speaks well for the
intelligence and progress of his
community. No parent can have a
greater interest tkan the progress of
his child and to see this child ply
sically perfect must be a sufficient
reeompense for any sacrifice or eff
fort made. A clean healthy body
will harbor clean healthy mind,
That should always be remembered.
When defect is remedied have
your doctor or dentist sign the slip

The per cent Of perfect children is
the best found in Lowndes county so
far. Out of 40 children in the first
four grades only were under weight
and these only about four pounds
each. The defects found in most of
the children were a few defective
teeth, and inflamed tonsils in some
few cases.
Then only about seven in the whole
school were vaccinated.
These things could all be corrected

Then trim your cares and show
them off. Your school is eligible for
the 100 per cent perfect parade to
be held soon.
If you had perfect high bred

a very good Sunday school, after

belief in missions.
We also noticed several new faces
out at the Tabernacle, but space will
