SCHOOL LEADER
ASKS PUBLIC TO
PURCHASE SEALS

1.-The Christmas seal sale and the
splendid health work that it IL
nanced for the protection of ch:!-
dren from tuberculosis is one OF the
outstanding movements that we are
glad to sponsor" said r. E. Munsey
director of department of health
physical education and recreation CT
the Santa Monica schools.
II feel that every child should
know what the Christmas seal
stands for and understand its
health message. We are making
progress in school and child health
but have still long way to go. One
of the most important problems still
before us is the detection of tuber-
culoSis among children early enough
so that they can be brought back
to health before it is too late, and
while the methods are yet compare
lively easy. In this we need the
cooperation of the parents and the
community.
Il am firmly of the conviction
that prevention of disease is the I'M
portant problem that we must face.
The more money that we spend Tor
prevention, the less we neeG 10
spend for cure. and our results are
gains instead of losses"
DR.. Munsey stressed the import
ance of the work of the school nurse
in the program of disease preven-
watch over the children and confer
ton. These nurses keep vigiiant
with the parents in regard to their
care.
In many parts of California :he
first school nurses were placed IN
the school and paid from the sale
of Christmas seals. 1t was not long
before the county and municipal
authorities realized their Importance
and took them over in the school
systems, according to a statement
yesterday of the California Tubercu-
losis Association.

HONOR STUDENTS
THE fifth honor roll of the Ken

IfHE fifth honor roll of the Ken.
newick high school is publish.
ed this week. To those who have
kept track of the records of the
students this year, one thing is i'm
mediately apparent. The boys and
girls who make the honor roll make
it consistently. Few are those who
drop out, and few are those who
make It once or twice: -
An honor roll, of course, does
not show everything. Many inarti-
culate students or those unadapt-
ed to the high school class sys-
TENS fail to make the showing
in grades, while having the requir-
ed intelligence. Also, the honor
roll, in order to be within reason
able limits, must draw an arbi-
trary line somewhere, and makes
80 it's lower boundary. This shuts
out some, who through a fluke,
have an average of 80, for in
stance, while really rating 90 or
above. =.
But allowing for these errors,
there is no lodging the fast that
the honor roll students are the
scholastic stars Of the school who
show enough interest in their work
to put consistent effort into the
attainment of an education.

FROM THE HILLS

Mo one has suggested making 3
national park of of the Column.
oia valley, and let us hope they
don't, for it would ruin lot of
fine farm land. But the view from
the top of the hills behind Kenne-
wick matches up with any the
parks have to offer. Tt doesn't take
your breath away like mountain
peaks, or make you ask foolish
questions like freak rock forma-
tons, but it does envelop you with
a beautiful peace.
Softly rolling, the valley
stretches to the horizon, with three
cleaning strips of silver water
for highlights. Patches of lush
green lie at neat angles to one an
other. On the lower slopes of the
hills, and scattered down to the ri
yer, masses of cherry and apple
blossoms send up fresh incense to
the blue arc of the sky. Clumps of
massive cottonwoods and naples,
and long rows of pointed populars
stand out from the lighter green
of the fields, or mirror their state
~ reflections in the placid river.
Behind their faintly-stirring leaves
the watcher on the hill catches a
glimpse of shaded houses and wide
barns. - >... ....zel@
As you stand there, with a lark
thrilling his heart out over the hill
and even the grom sagebrush put |
ting forth grudgingly new foliage |
and timid flowers, you forget for
a little the struggles and wor- |
RES that go on down in that val
ley, and when they come into your
mind again, they have been level
ed out and absorbed in the vast
,ontentment that broods over the
valley of the Columbia.

GET THOSE MOTHS.

NE interest to all orchardists is
the announcement of the SPRAY
meetings to be held in the county
next week. Although some of the
material presented then will be a
review, each of the speakers will
have a new angle to discuss.
Cooling moth is the most dam
gerous and most expensive enemy
of the apple crop, but the thous-
ands of dollars spent every sum-
mer for spraying are the price we
pay for our ill fortune in being an
infested district. Without the
spraying, the crop would be one
discouraging mass of cu1ls. AS
long as the battle with the moth
must he fought, we ought to spare
no effort in getting complete con-
troll, since this means not only q
clean crop this year, but less trou-
bic next.
One may not agree with all the
advice that will be given out by
the speakers at the demonstrations.
but it is well to weigh their words
IN comparison with ones own ex-
perience in order to miss no help-
full point.
