Health Work In
Cecil Schools

Now that the summer vacation
has started, it is interesting to re-
view the work of the Cecil County
Health Department with school
children during 1912. This work was
made possible by the full coopera-
ton of the parents, school authori-
ties and teachers.
Medical examination of school
children and the correction of de-
fects is an important part of Health
Department program. Examinations
have been confined to the primary
grades, except in the smaller grades,
where all under twelve years of
age were included.
During 1912, eight hundred sixty
seven chilren attending thirty-three
schools were given physical exam
nations, and parents have been
notified of the defects found, with
the recommendation that the correc-
tions be given immediate attention.
Physical defects found to be
most prevalent and in serious need
of correction were as follows:
DGCdycQ LCCLH Will uloCooC0
gums, 448 children.
Diseased and enlarged tonsils with
cervical glands enlarged, 1873 chill
dren.
Defective vision, as shown by
examination with eye chart, 73 chill
dren.
Undernourished, So children.
In cooperation with the Parent
Teachers Association, arrangements
were made for the examination of
those of pre-school age at eleven
centers in order that defects might
be corrected before the child enter
ed school.
One hundred sixty-eight children,
accompanied by parents were exam
ined at these conferences.
Invitations were extended to pa
rents of those under twelve years
and over eight months of age, to
have their children protected against
diphtheria. Each school in the coun-
ty was visited according to schedule
and on written permission, Diph-
iberia toxoid was given to eight hum
dred thirteen school children and
to one hundred fifteen children un-
der school age. This will prevent
diphtheria in those inoculated and
will assist in the control of the di-
sease in the county.
At the request of the North East
High School Authorities and par
ents, three hundred forty-nine chill
dren attending schools in that town,
were protected against typhoid fever
with typhoid vaccine. Adults receiv-
ed the first injection of vaccine on
June 7th The second and third
doses will be given to this group in
the North East High School Build
ing on June 18th and 23rd at
500 P. M.

RISING SUN, CECIL COUNTY, Md. FRIDAY JUNE l2. 1914
UNIFIED BUS SCHE-
Dulles in EFFECT

Effective Wednesday, June 3rd
all buses of the Safeway Trails, Inc,
Greyhound Lines, Quaker City Bus
Co. and Eastern Trails, Inc, in SER
vice between New York, Philada.
and Washington are now operating
on new unified schedules. This COM
plete coordination of service has
been arranged in accordance with
the directions of the Office of De-
Tense Transportation.
At q time like this, when every
available bus must be made to work
full time in the important job of
keeping essential traffic on the
move, every effort is being made to
eliminate schedules that duplicate
each other, or that are not absolut-
ely essential. The conservation OF
tires and gasoline is equally vital.
This revision of schedules will do
much to accomplish these results.
Some of the changes that have
been made may inconvenience you
to some extent, but you will make
allowances when you remember
that after all, Americas war pro-
gram has the right Of way today.
You'll avoid delay and confusion if
you make sure to get full informa-
ton at once about the newly
changed service and the new war
time schedules from any of the CO.
perating bus lines.

Date Selected
For Primaries

The State Chairman of the Demo
cratic and Republican State Gen.
trail Committees for Maryland, on
June 3rd, selected Monday, Septem-
Der 14th, as the date for holding
the primary elections throughout
the State. Some objections have
been lodged against the date Sc
lected on the ground it would serve
to disfranchise the thousands of
Maryland men and women in the
armed services who last month were
granted the right to vote by mail
under proclamation issued by
the Governor.
1t is claimed that the date select
ed would invalidate all mail ballots
cast by members of the armed SER
vices. They said the law providing
for mail voting by soldiers and
sailors stipulates that these ballots
may not be opened until ten days
after the primary election, which,
in the case of the September 14th
primary, would be September oath,
but that the same law requires that
the party nominating conventions
this year must be held no later than
September 19h.
The result would be, it was point
ed out, that the two conventions
would meet and make nominations
before the absentee votes on the
nominations had been opened and
counted.
