cenuve for the child to acquire health

BE IL resolved. that the National
Education association recommends the
adoption by the elementary schools OF
such a system OF health Instruction
as the modern health crusade.
Through the courtesy OF the Casper
Dental association the dentists gave
their time TO organize a free dental
clinic where during the months OF Feb
ruary. March n April. 1870 prpils
were examined. Out OF this number
$50 were found with defective teeth,
and reports were sent to the parents
stating the defects. The parents OF

In establishing this system of
nursing in the schools our great
aim 10:
To prevent disease among school
children.
as hinder the chiid's progress in
school.
To instruct school children along
the lines OF sanitation and hygi-
enc.
To teach health habits that are
invaluable to the growing child.
To create ar active interest In
public as well as personal health.
Throughout the school year each
school IL visited every IS hours by
the nurse and at a certain signal OF
the hall all pupils who have been alb
sent because Of illness or have been
recently exposed TO contagion. all pu-
pills with skin eruptions. infiamed
eyes, reverb coughs. or colds, sore
throat. or acute abnormal physical
conditions OF any kind. all new pu-
pills admitted since tho last visit and
all pupils who have been excluded by
he nurse on their return to school
are sent to the nurse for exalnina-
ton.
OF these visits, of which there were
s55 last year. 5.1so examinations
were made. Out OF this number there
were one smaii-pox. two d~hrhtheria.
nine measels. ~ chicken-pox, $50
cases OF rinsworm. 81 scabies, 80
pcdicuiosis. n impetigo. 260 con
iunctivities. OF the number exam
med $50 were treated in school. e26
were excluded temporarily because OF
suspected c~ontaSion. 1s5 were admit.
ted under observation and the remain
der were pupils with minor ailments
of who bad returned after an Ill
ness and were examined before being
allowed to remain In the classroom.
Any pupil excluded from school and
who does not return in a reasonable
length OF time IL visited in his home
by the nurse 20 learn the cause of
his continued Absence and to ascer-
tain whether or not he Is receiving
the proper medical attention.
We had only about 42o cases of in
fictitious disease among tho school
children last year. and thanks to DR..
o'Donneli's efficiency in quarantine
work n very small percentage were
taken i'll IN school ana these were dis
covered Immediately md excluded.
The remaining pupils in the room
where a child was taken III with an
infectious disease were examined for
symptoms OF the disease and the
DOM fumigAted.

aminations were made and out Of
this number 1.442 were found with
one or more of the following defects.

The parents OF the defective chill.
dren were notified OF the defects and
requested to consult their family
physician in regard to the chfld's con
dition. We are pleased { state that
at least 20 per cent of the defects
have been corrected and we expect a
much higher percentage by tie end
Of the year. The parents who did not
respond in this matter were visited
during the summer by the nurse and
the subject discussed with them.
The local medical society organized
a free medical clinic during the month
OF July. for children whose parents
were unable to have them cared for
otherwise. Where a number OF chill.
dren wero examined and several Of
the INST urgent cases were operated
on, DR.. Smith our local eye,ear. nose
and throat specialist did the operating.
Having followed these cases closely we
find them doing very much better
work in school this fall than las year.
This clinic work is only begun how
ever. and we hope TO enlarge It until
no child need suffer because its par
ents are financially unable 10 have
IL cared for.
One OF the important steps taken
toward lettering health conditions in
the schools was the establishment OF
the modern health crusade. A system
highly recommended by the National
Educational association and the fol
lowing resolution was adopted at their
annual meeting.

But it must be added that horseshoe
pitching has, to certain extent, kept up
with the times. The game of quoits.
properly sO-called, is a sort OF urbanized
horseshoe pitching. in which iron rings,
especially made for the purpose, are
used. This is an international game and
has its tournaments and champions.
Horseshoe pitching proper, as far as
