The Illiteracy Campaign in Barn
well County, so far as the present I
drive is concered, is over, the last
school having closed March 28th. i
The white schools, though few in
number, have been a success from tj^e
standpoint of interest manifested and
good work done. The enrollment in .
some of the schools has been up to
the maximum and above the minimum
in all of them.
The census of 1930 will reveal facts
and figures, but time alone can re
veal the results of our night schools.
Aroused ambition, clearer understand
ing of citizenship, greater desires for
learning and better living, are some
of the things that will not be tabulat-!
cd. Think of , the married woman,!
with the care of/children and many)
household duties, coming to night
school; eager to learn to read that |
1 she might be able to read the Bible
for herself!
How 1 wish you could have looked (
into the shining countenance of the
man past fifty who had just learned to
write his name, and have heard him
tell joyfully of his experience at the
take advantage of public funds for Ha
benefit. In one school,' an infected
water supply wan discovered. In the
schools were found some cases of ac
tive tuberculosis, and a number of
suspected cases.. The fix clinic* that
were held in December did much to
clear up the T. B. situation in the
schools. These positive cases have
been placed under proper treatment,
and under re-examination are show
ing improvement. Of the suspected
T. B. cases, seven have been re-ex
amined by family physicians and the
most of them are showing improve
ment under treatment. Of these sus
pected cases, five are yet to be ex
amined by their family physician. Of
the other cases at the time of the
chest clinics 67 were found to be
in need of medical treatment. In
each of these cases the attention of
the parents was directed to the con
dition of the child and requested to
put the child under the treatment of
the family physician. Much of the
January work of Miss Anderson has
been given to a following up of the
cases developed in the chest clinics.
Another side of the work during
these two months has been the fol
lowing up of the orthopedic cases.
For the sake of those readers who do
not know the meaning of this word, it
moans the correction of deformed feet
and hands. The* nurse, Miss Ander
son, has discovered 19 such cases in
her work in this county. Five of
these are colored. There is nothing
that means more to these children,
than to be relieved of their deformi
ties and given hands and feet like
other children. It is a slow and tedi
ous process, involving repeated oper
ations and wearing of plaster casts
£n the limbs operated on, until at the
end they are restored. These cases
must from time to time be carried
back to Dr. Boyd’s clinic for further
treatment.
During the month an application
was made to Cedar Springs for the
admission of a mute from this coun
ty, which has been accepted, and will
be sent as soon as the parents can
get the child ready.
During the month of February one
patient, (an indigent case) has been
admitted to State Park Tuberculosis
Sanitarium.
With the coming of the .warmer
months a rise must be expected in
hookworm case* and malaria. . Many
of these malarial cases have been
brought over from last fall and re
mained dormant during the winter,
but with the coming of wapner weath
er will get in its full work. In this
connection it may be said that in ad
dition to these diseases there are some
pellagra cases that have received the
attention of the nurse. The financial
stringency of larft year has in most
cases been reflected in the ill balanced
diet in the homes and. the physical de
fects of the children who are in the
schools from these homes. In every
school health talks as to daily diet and
cleanliness, including care of the teeth,
have been given.
It is interesting to note amid all the
details of mile* traveled, physical de
fects discovered, health talks mado
and* literature •distributed, that Miss
Anderson was not off duty a single
day. During the month, the work hag
at times received the attention of
Mrs. McDonald, who is the State ex
ecutive secretary of the Anti-Tuber
culosis Association, and Miss DeLas-
key, who is the district supervising
nurse of the Amer^an Red Cross for
the States of North and South Caro
lina. Both of these express them
selves in the highest terms of com
mendation of the work that has been
done and the need for continuance.
The basig for the work of public
health nurse comes from those people
who do not secure the services of a
physician when sick.* By taking either
of the counties to the west or north
of our own, they have a full health
unit, consisting of a dental officer, a
county physician, a public health nurse
in addition to other needed assi
In those counties the percental
people who go to their family pi
cians are about fifty-five per cent of
the population. The county health
unit doe* a tremendous service in try
ing to improve the health conditions
of the more fortunate ones. So that
in the long run, health conditions in
either of those counties is better than
with us. Until we put on a public
health nurse only those sick persons
who went to physicians were cared
for. The rest of them were uncared
for, except in so far as they, came to
the notice of certain charitably mind
ed persons in each community.—Dr.
W. M. Jones.

T. L. Wragg, manager of the Bank
of Western Carolina at Blackville,
told a representative of The People-
Sentinel this week that he had re

is an average price of $4.90 per crate.

for the first time to sign his check!
Then there was the young married
man and his wife who side by side
were laboriously trying to solve the
mystery of the printed page. In an
other school the gray-headed father
and grown up son are studying to
gether, paying strict attention to
their teachers’ explanation of figures,
trying hard to understand, that they
might be able to figure out for them
selves the cost of so many bushels of
corn at so much a bushel.
If time and space permitted I could
give many ether life incidents, but
surely the most skeptical are con
vinced that adult schools are really
worth while.
The negro schools have been an un
deniable success. I do not mean
merely from the standpoint of num
ber of schools and enrollment—that
wa* to be expected. The teachers
have done g^od, honest, hard work
and the pupils have responded in a
wonderful way. You had only to
visit their schools to find out that
they were not out for a big time, but
that they were there with a desire to
be taught, and the teachers soon
proved to you that they were there
to teach. The negro has proven by
his attitude his need for, and hi* ap

Aiany surmises have been made re-

attempt to discover what children

fants with a shepherd, with the strict

It’s wise
to choose a SIX!
mh
After all, it is a perfectly simple matter to
decide which automobile to buy in today's
market. Only two questions must be answered
to your satisfaction— \

Six Cylinder Motor

In buying a low-priced car con
sider the following facts:
v . f r
11 is wise to choose a six-cylinder
motor—for six cylinders are
necessary to take out vibration
and roughness. Six-cylinder
smoothness will save the motor, the chassis,
the body, the passengers and the driver.
The Chevrolet is a six. And yet it sells at a price
that anyone can afford to pay.
This very low-priced car lasts longer, not only
because of fine materials and oversize parts,
but also because it is a six. Its big, smooth,
50-horsepower six-cylinder engine is always
4i taking it easy." There is no feeling of strain.
This makes it unnecessary to take the axle
apart to examine or clean it.
The new Chevrolet Six is full of such evidence
that true motor car economy comes from
modern advancement and refinement.
Like the finest cars, the Chev
rolet Sii 1 provides the comfort
and protection of four springs
controlled by hydraulic shock
absorbers. They are mounted
lengthwise, in the direction of
car travel, and self-adjusting
spring shackles maintain quiet.
Delco Love joy Shock
Ahaortxrx
With all its six-cylinder smoothness and power
the New Chevrolet Six uses no extra gasoline
or oil. Efficient design makes this possible-
overhead valves—high compression power
from any fuel—very latest carburetor—close-
fitting, long-wearing pistons—crankcase
ventilation—air cleaner. You can really have
extreme economy and still satisfy your ideal
of truly modem transportation.
Chevrolet economy is also the mark of Chev
rolet sincerity in manufacture. To illustrate;
Chevrolet valves are readily
accessible and adjustable. This
saves replacing valves, and also
makes it possible to preserve
the efficiency of the engine.
* * * F u Hy Enclosed Brmkmx
With low suspension and extra wheelbase, the
Chevrolet Six has excellent proportions.
Its impressive front view is distinguished by
the genuine honeycomb radiator, another
mark of modern cars. #
The gasoline tank is in the rear,
for safety and finer appearance.
Chevrolet beauty instantly says
“Body by Fisher”—costly car
style, with the permanent quiet
of Fisher composite steel-and-
wood construction.
Smfmty Gaxolin* Tank
Body by Fisher also gives you a genuine non-
glare windshield, adjustable driver’s seat,
more space, deeper and wider
cushions, clearer vision, finer
fabrics and fitments.
/
A similar example is found in Chevrolet’s
molded brake lining—reducing
the necessity of frequent replace
ment, and consequent expense.
There is just as much extra value
everywhere in the car. BY ANY
STANDARD the Chevrolet Six is the greatest
value in the low-price field.
It is wise to choose the Chevrolet Six with its
six-cylinder valve-in-head motor .. . with full
scientific equipment... with its Body by Fisher
... with four long semi-elliptic springs, long
wheelbase, low suspension, rear-mounted gas
tank, honeycomb radiator and all the other
features of this day and age.

inspection plate on the Chevrolet.
