existing congestion of the ar.
Unanimous objection to any wild

Though Becky has gained much,
she also lost something by the change.

The teacher who used to give bad
boys and girls a licking" is now a
snOwy-haired old lady and hasn't
taught school for many year. Per-
haps children aren't as naughty as
they used to be or perhaps teachers
have found better ways of manag-
ing them than the birch rod their
grandfathers knew so we'll. Any
how, school is a much more pleas
ant place than it was. Many little
girls find arithmetic very hard and
not a few young gentlemen think
grammar a most 'disagreeable insti-
tuition, and ever so many children
think that science, was invented
purely for the annoyance of youth
full people in the grades.
If they realized that without
science they wouldn't be nearly so
comfortable and that many good
times would be impossible, they
would become more interested in it.

HEALTH TESTS
FOR CHILDREN
County Units To Supervise Exam
nations To Guard Against Disease.

One of the most forward steps in
improving the health of the children
of Delaware is getting under way
through the three county health
units established in November of
1927 by the State Board of Health.
At the last meeting of the State
Board of Education, that body ac-
cepted the offer of the State Board
of Health to provide physical exam
inatiOn for all school children. AS a
result of this the three county
health officers are preparing to
start these physical examinations.
AS the plans are mapped out there
will be one day for toXin-antitoxin
immunization against diphtheria
The other days will be given over
to the examination of the teeth
eyes, ears, nose, throat, mouth, re-
spiratory organs, and the height and
weight of the child. This examina-
ton will disclose whether the child
has faulty teeth, poor vision, poor
hearing, adenOids, diseased tonsils,
and heart and lung trouble.
Before the doctor makes the ex-
animation each school teacher will
obtain from the child a cursOry his
tory of what ailment it has suffered
before. This preliminary Informal
ton added to the data obtained by
the doctors in the individual exam
ination of the child will furnish a
substantial foundation in diagnosing
the physical condition of each
Wherever any serious defects are
disclosed the fact will be noted on a
card and left with the teacher to in
form the parents and family physi-
clan.
In addition to this each of the
county health doctors will conduct
surveys i'll every town to determine
living conditions. In Kent county,
Dr.. c. a, Sargent has completed
three surveys in the towns of HOus-
ton, Hartley and Pennington, the
results of which developed new
ideas concerning the origin of ty-
phoid fever.
The general health of the State is
good, according to reports made to
the State Board of Health by the
physicians throughout the counties.
The only epidemic, and that was
slight one. was that of measles at
Georgetown, this fall, when the
schools opened. Through the use
of these county health units, and
after they have been functioning
it is believed the num-
Der of epidemics will be lessened.
Well, it has been fine year, fair
wheat, wonderful corn, high prices
for the cattle, and Babe Ruth beat
ing all records for home runs.
