Kneece, in charge of *h< county he.-ilth unit, submits the fol lowing narrative report oi' the wor! done by Newberry county health do partment for the quarter ending March 31st. 1322: The statistical report attached wil give in detail figures for work dont during the quarter for which routine figures have already been sent in, bin this short narrative we hope wil bring out the fact that much miscellaneous work is accomplished each month that is not regularly recorde: with the usual statistical reports, and it will also we trust attract your at ' r 1. tention to certain pnases 01 uie wui-r in a manner that more figures would fail to do. January 9th to 14th the county health offic er attended the V. S. public health nistitute held at Columbia; S. C. Educational: Up to the present time this year almost twenty public lectures have been given, with an attendance upward of five hundred. These lectures have been attended by both sxes, both races and all ages. It has ranged anywhere from first aid instructions given to me the boy scouts, and to the fire department of Newberry, to special lectures given on tuberculosis, dental hygiene and the prophylaxis of diphtheria toxin-antitoxin administration given for the benefit of the negroes. In addition to these lectures therehave been thirty-five talks made es ? nnilrlron n f W hlfH peciany iu av.nvui v.iiuutv.11, ? talks there were approximately fifteen hundred school children present to make no mention of the teacher?., who we trust also have been benefited by these talks, which covered various subjects such as care of the teeth, typhoid, diphtheria and small-pox prevention, early symptoms and signs of tuberculosis, and the treatment of pediculosis. Teachers and children have always given close attention to these talks and appeared to De greatly interested. School examinations: We have inspected more than twenty-five rural schools since the beginning of the year. At . these schools there were romething like twelve hundred pupils, all of whom were inspected. About 60 per cent of these children we find to be defective in some way. Most of the defects at present however are minor, such as a cavity in a deciduous tooth, or a very small cavity beginning in a permanent tooth, etc., all of which if allowed to exist would likplv become a serious menace to the child's health. We are notifying parents of these existing defects and making every effort to influence them to have these defects corrected and our results have been gratifying. Corrctlons: We have official Records of about fifty corrections that have been made this quarter, most of which were of the teeth. In addition there have bn many othr dental cor'"* tt- i i corrections: we nave oraciai record of. Small-pox Vaccinations: The smallpox vaccinations this quarter have fallen ofF somewhat from our last quarterly report, there being only about five hundred to report this quarter. Contagious and Infectious Diseases: Newberry county has been most fortunate since the new year so far .as contagious and infectious diseases are concerned. The number of cases of influenza were comparatively few, and of all others only six cases were officially reported to the county of.ficer. Sanitary Improvements: The quarter has been a very active one for the inspector. Many homes have been v:sited and much instructive litera ture distributed. As a result of this a few homes have been screened and many promises for screening early in the summer. About three dozen sanitary privies have been installed and it is likely that a great many more will come as a result of much work along this line in the past few weeks. Clinics Held?Nurse's Activities: The nurse as been responsible for almost all the dental corrections reported to date, as she planned and put over two dental clinics at which times about thirty children had their ?- dental defects corrected. She also i 1 :uk c was larg'ejy resuuiiNuit- un iuui umc clinics, at which a number of tubercular patients were examined and instructed. The nurse has made more than 250 visits during the quarter and distributed about sixteen hundred pieces of instructive literature. She has assisted in the inspections of all the school children and other activities reported above and in addition, has given something like twenty lectures either to schoo! children or organized clubs at which meetings rhere were approximately seven hundred persons present.

THAR'S MORE IN THE MAN THAN THAR IS IN THE LAND P^rkons Sentinel. Sidney Lanier was not only a groat i poet of the spirit and the heart, but he is almost unequaled among South-j ern writers for his homely rural dialect verse. What thoughtful Southern : farmer, for example, will ever forget this striking picture of two farmers? : one shiftless, the other enterprising ?and the pertinent conclusion em- j bodied in the title? girl is looking for a "speech" for recitation in school, we suggest this: i I knowed a man, which he lived in Jones, Which Jones is a county of red hills and stones. And he lived pretty much by gittin' of loans, And his mules was nothin' but skin and bones, J And his hogs was fiat as his cornbrea'd ' Dones. And he had 'bout a thousand acres | o' iand. "F" ' This man?which his name it was also j Jones? Ke swore that he'd leave them old; red hills and stones, Fur he couldn't make nuthin' but yallerish cotton, And little o' that; and his fences was rotten, And what little corn he had, hit was hrmorhf <?rt . And dinged ef a livin' was in the land. | | And the longer he swore the madder he got, And he ri7< and he walked to the sta ble lot, And he hollered to Tom to come thar and hitch Fur to emigrate somewhar land was I i rich, And to quit rasin' cock-burrs, thistles i and sich, j And a waistin' ther time on the cuss-, ed land. ! i i So him and Tom they hitched up the : mules, Pertestm' that folks was mighty big fools That 'ud stay in Georgy ther lifetime ! out, Jest scratching a livin' when all of 1 \ 'em mought ir,:t nlafps in Texas whar cotton would sprout By the time you could plant it in the land. And he driv by a house whar a man named Brown Was a livin\ not fur from the edge o' town, And bo ..iantered Brown fur to buy his place, v j And said that bein' as money was ; skace, And bein' as sheriffs was hard to face, Two dollars an acre would ?et the land. ; i They closed at a dollar and fifty! cents. And Jones he bought him a wagrg'in and tents, And loaded his corn, and his wimmin,! and truck.

Moses, their leader, went before the ruler and asked that his people be relieved of so much suffering. He spoke in name 01 uoa ana demonstrated his right to speak in His name before the court.
