the median OF the Negro group was

found further that only 14ia per

refuse to permit such diseases
as measles to infringe on our
children'S rights and time.
The beginning of the whole
big epidemic can be spelled in
Just one word-carelessness.
Out in our district, it would
make your blood run cold and
then boil to see the array of
drinking cups lined up. A first
class dairyman wouldn't let his
calves drink out of such uten-
sis, yet they are all dipped in
the common bucket of drinking
water. The wash pan is used
for all purposes.
We are assured that the con-
tract for sanitary equipment is
let and that it will be installed
by next year, but there are
two and a half months of school
to spread disease, and Just be-
cause we live in the country, I
thoroughly resent the conditions
my children and my neighbours
children are struggling through.
My garden has been beautiful
under its blanket of snow.
