ADDITIONAL FACTS
ON SCHOOL SURVEY
Child Health Department In Local
School Shows Extensive And
Intensive Work.

In addition to what was said last
week in the Democrat concerning the
surveys of the American Health Asso-
citation, it might be of interest to
know that only twenty-nine states of
the Union have been selected for
these. Six southern states-Florida,
Kentucky, Maryland, S. Carolina,
Texas, and Virginia - are included;
and in Maryland only two schools
Pocomoke City High and the Roland
Park Country School, Baltimore.
In circular sent out by the asso-
citation, it is set forth that "health ar
tivities should develop permanent
values for the children (self-control,
self direction, self Improvement !;
should be of value to children as chill
dren; should provide for the free ex-
preston of child nature. Play-the
real business of a child's healthy life
should be used to motivate health
habits.
"The dominating factor in health
instruction through the high school
grades, should be provision of scien-
tific information applied to health
problems-supplied through the CO.
ordinate efforts of such specialized
departments as may exist in High
schools; as, botany, zoology, biology,
physiology, bacteriology, chemistry,
and physics, as we'll as in the social
sciences, home economics, and physi-
cal education"
The scope Of these requirements
shows just how thorough and extern
sive the training must be to attract
the attention of the Health Associa-
tion. Miss Dix has devoted much
over time and an infinite amount Of
gratuitous labor in bringing up her
department, and the notice taken Of
her progress by this association is not
the first she has received-indeed it
has secured national recognition.
Specially has she been interested in
stressing the analogy between child
development and that of plant and
animal life. During the closing ex-
ercises, she had on hand a large num-
ber of interesting and we'll executed
! drawings showing life development
..I the analogy referred to. These
were drawn from real life and mani
tested as much artistic talent as they
did skill in detailed tracings. No
doubt such as this attracted foreign
attention.

Dix displayed the handiwork of heJ
pupils. Specially interesting were the
Commencement dresses made by the
girl graduates, the cost of which was
held to a maximum of $500. These
were remarkable where style of cut,
trimming, and neatness of work are
concerned. They were most creditable
to the class.
The work done in this line by the
first year girls was also worthy of
notice. Indeed the whole departments
exhibits showed very clearly why this
school was selected for survey.
