MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS IN
SCHOOL is WORTH WHILE
Good Health in BODY and Mind
For Every Chi6 Is Sought


Medical examination Of children in
the public schools Of the counties by
the deputy State health officer of each
county. Zas begun soon after the
schools opened this fall. The plan of
concentrating on the younger children
Hose in the lower grades, with check
ap examinations in some of the higher
grades-has been found to be so
worthwhile that it is to be continued,
DIR. r. n. Riley, Director of the State
Department Of Health said, in an
nouneing the arrangements for this
year.
Though a special effort will be made
to reach all Of the younger children,
the older ones will not be overlooked.
Any who are in need of care of
this sort and who are brought to the
attention of the health officer by the
teacher, and all of the older children
who are scheduled for re-examination
this season, will be examined this
year.
Dental clinics for school children
have been established in nearly all of
the counties and in addition to the
medical examinations the usual dental
clinics will be held throughout the
year.
"The aim of all of the health service
for children" DR.. Riley said, "is to
protect them from avoidable illnesses
and to help them toward normal
growth and development. Effort is
made to discover conditions that may
need care or treatment, and that
would effect child's health, if not
attended to. Special attention is paid
in the examinations to the throat, the
nose, teeth, heart, lungs, vision, hear
ing, and to the general health, as in
dicated by the weight and the appear
ance of the child. 1t is easier to cor
rect unfavorable conditions while they
are in the early stages. That is why
particular effort is made to reach
all of the younger children.
Last year nearly $4,000 children in
the counties had the benefit of exam
nations of this sQrt-over $4,000 in
the schools and nearly 5000 at the
child health conferences in the coun-
ties, in preparation for their admis
sion to school. In all cases, parents
were notified of conditions that need
ed attention and were urged to have
the corrections made.
"The school records show" DR.. Ri
ley said, "that here has been marked
improvement in attendance and a cor

responding decrease in absences from
preventable illnesses. This has been
brought about through the joint ac-
tivities of the schools, the parents and
the departments of health. All of US
in this group are partners in the i'm
portant business of preparing the chill
dren of today to meet the responsible
tiles of life. Good health in body and
in mind for every one of them, is the
ideal we are striving for"

words in the list was, mash" Now
we've hit our thumb with the ham,
mer many time, and as we review
the details now, it seems to us that
the torrent of Spanish tnat immedi-
ately followed, would put such a
mild word as, mash" entirely in
the shade. But, of course, the
mash" they meant was the kind
that Is often found in tubs, hid out
in some secret place. And here
comes the editor of the st. Louis
Dispatch, he wasn't just satisfied
with the list, SO he submitted, what
he thought, a more revolving list.
We were dead sure now that this
man from Missouri would show us
something, that he would "hit the
nail square on the head" and we
would have the satisfaction of see
ing our ugly word included in his
list Disappointment again. Not a
word in his list as closely related to
our ugly word as that word, "mash."
in the former list. 1t is quite prob
able that our ugly word would have
never come into existence, had it
not been for, mash" Now this
ugly word of ours not only CRATES
harshly on our ears but it certainly
has been yoked up with bad associa-
tions, and here it is .'boot-legger."
You may wonder at us thinking 1t
an ugly word, but we have been
face to face with a real boot-legger,
and he put the scare on us, and
ever since, the word has been dis
tasteful to us. In our next we will
try to tell you more about him.

Begin Early To Control Fireblight

Begin Early To Control Fireblight
The control Of fireblight of pears
and apples is not restricted to GER
tain periods of the year. Effective
work can be done at any time dur
ing either the dormant or growing
season, according to r. c. Thomas,
plant pathologist at the Ohio exper-
iment station. When the leaves are
off the trees it is easier to observe
cankers upon the larger limbs. 1t is
in these cankers that the fireblight
bacteria survive the winter period
and become a source Of infection
with, the opening of the growing
season. If all fireblight cankers in
an orchard could be sterilized or cut
out and destroyed, the disease
would be controlled.
A very valuable aid to the control
of fireblight is chemical treat
ment of the cankers. The prepar-
alton and use of this treatment is
described in the Bimonthly Bulletin
for vember-December, 1892. The
solution used for treating the cank-
ers penetrates into the dead wood,
kills the fireblight bacteria, and rem
ders the cankers harmless. 1t Is no
longer necessary to cut out the dead
wood. Less labor is required and
the work is much more efficiently
done by the canker treatment meth
od..
The biOssoming period is the
time of greatest fireblight Infection; (
various insects carry the bacteria I
to the open blossoms. However, it |
is not desirable, for various rea-
sons, to spray during this period. |
This fact practically eliminates the |
use of sprays in the control of fire. !

High Water Damages

Flood waters caused by the recent
heavy rains, inflicted damage to
the states highways and bridges es-
timated to exceed $1,0OO,000, ac-
cording to the statement issued to-
day by State Highway Director O.
w. Merrell.
Although the states forces We're
rendering aid both day and night,
to the flood stricken areas, by di-
recting and assisting traffic in every
way possible, little could be done to
resist the disastrous effect of the
rampant waters which washed out
bridges, sections of pavements,
berms, bitches, jammed drain pipes
and culverts, undermined and weak
ened bridge abutments and pave
ments. A study of the destruction
wrought by the recent high waters
is even greater than was first sus-
pected. While reports indicate a
general condition throughout the
state, the most extensive damage to
highways and bridges was suffered
in southeastern and southern Ohio,
where communities were virtually
isolated for a time from highway
communication due to high waters.
In southern Ohio land slides added
to the already seriously inconven-
fenced and hazarded communities.
Thousands of tons Of road materials
were washed away and an equal
amount of silt and mud deposited
on the highways by the receding
waters. Debris and drift lodged
within the limits of these highways,
all of which must necessarily be re-
moved before normal traffic is re-
sumed.
1t is said that the destructiveness
to highways and bridges by the
food waters Of last week are the
most severe since the March, 1918.

In each instance where highways
were inundated, tractors, trucks and
other equipment belonging to the
state highway department were kept
on the job twenty-four hours day
to lend whatever assistance was
