INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW

In 1919 the League of Nations was
organized for the primary purpose
of preventing future wars; in 1928
the Briand-Kellogg treaty was signed
by about 81 nations of the world for
the same purpose of averting wars.
And yet, since that organization was
formed and since that treaty was
signed, Japan and China. both mem
bers of the League, both signers of
the Briand-Kellogg treaty, engaged in
war; since that time Paraguay and
Bolivia, likewise League members and
treaty signers, fought terrific war;

HEALTH BODY.
MEETS monday.
Large Crowd of Teachers
and Guests Study Disease
Fighting Methods.
Mantoux Test and Vigilance
Advocated as Ways to
Germ Control.

The fifth annual teachers institute
luncheon sponsored by the Pine Coun-
ty Public Health Association of which
Mrs. E. B. Linsley of Willow River
is president, was held at Hinckley
Monday. About 125 teachers and
guests were present to enjoy the
luncheon served by the Hinckley
American Legion Auxiliary and tc
hear speakers talk on the health
question.
The object of these gatherings is
to secure the cooperation of the en-
tire county's teaching force in the
work of public health
Good Program Rendered.
A good and instructive program
was rendered which included invoca-
ton by Rev. Rex Rice of Hinckley,
and a vocal solo by Frank Gottry,
editor of the Pine County Pioneer,
accompanied by Mrs. Gottry. Mrs.
Svend Petersen of Askov, who is sec
rotary of the association, introduced
DR.. F. F. Callahan, medical director
and superintendent of Pokegama San
atorium, who gave an historical out
line on the decline of tuberculosis
by careful and systematic work dur
ing the past 80 years.
DR.. Callahan made an appeal to
the teachers to ask for Mantoux tests
in their schools. These tests will be
given by the local physicians who
know the communities and their
needs. This will help to locate open
cases that are a continual danger not
only to their own families but to the
people of the community with whom
they come in contact.
Other Speakers.
Several guests were introduced and
DR.. w. T. Pearson of Finlayson, re-
sponded and told of his early exper-
fence with diptheria and typhoid
fever, both contagious diseases, and
suggested that it would be good
thing if each teacher be instructed
how to use clinical thermometer
He advised that when a child be
found with temperature he should
be sent home with instructions not
to return until a health certificate
was issued by local health officer
or physician. That would be one way
of stopping the spread of measles,
scarlet fever and otter contagious
diseases, said DR.. Pearson.
The last speaker on the program
was Mrs. Marian Christianson. field
secretary from the state office. She
gave a very educational paper on,
Tuberculosis knowledge Test" and
explained the teachers health letter
that is being sent to them. Mrs.
Christensen also asked the teachers
cooperation in the sale of the Christ
mas seal.
