You have already ,been told of what we should and should not (to in the shill'oroom so I shal l pass on tu.d give a few silggest !is Oil how to take these timl prov(emeits inkto the honles. Let uts make ou11r schoolrooms a per lect ex.:nple of sanitation, forming ;ood habits in the daily school duties of our pupils so that they wvill reCtuire and demand cleanliness antd healthful coiditions for their own comfort. The teacher's attitude and her own example will speak with greater weight and aithority than any amount of ad vice. When the school-house and its surroundings have been imlade clean ad I- sa nitary or when we are working toward that goal then only can we hope to impress the necessity of this tllon the colmnIunity. Ask yourself how many of your pu pils make a daily practice of washing the teceth. When we have taught the children the danger of disease from getims they will soon be as anxious for sailttary conditions as the teacher, and we will have taken one step In the right direction. hit when we have a iodel school rool in respect to hygienc that is only the beginning as the hardest part lies before Is-to bring the people to such at mind that they will see tile import ance of hn:gt 2c conditions and when the people want and domand sanita tion they will get it-the final outcome s w'itl thenm. A teacher, especially of the rural school must 1101(l the esteem and con. iidence of the people of the Colmllimuntity otherwise a large share of 1her work would be wasted. We mlist releil her that our work is not wholly il " revaolin', writing and 'rithmlalle", but also to build up the standard of the communl)I Iity. \\'ili the good will of the patronis, we Illay have workinig organizations witig the people theitiselves as ieal hors and workers lutI led by the State iloa'rd of llIealtlh, local physicianis ald aIlI t'le (leucators of the county. h'leilr work woulid be Closely allied to the School Im11provemeit Association, uit instead of improving school improve the homtes. The whole aim and pur pose of the organization is to eradicate all the unnecessary sickness aild phy sical defects-and have "Cleanliness and Health" the motto. The Monthly bulletins issued by the State Board of Health should be in every home-the help that i.9 offered ts should not be disregarded to such anl extent as' it now Is. ,We had for some time oi the School Calednar, Arbor D~ay, Field Damy, Clean Up D~ay. Let. us. have a lealith D~ay, whenh scienttflc talks by .well known and r'espected doctors who wvould tact fully .showv to all, our many errotrs agains5t the laws of health. One great reasonl why our rural homles .Qf todlay are unhel~althy is want 'of instruction in the way thley shoutld live. In ord'er to ptractice health laws peolie -mutst be informed as to whlat to do, when to do It and -how to do it, and just as important what not to do. A hecalth offnper could be applointed who would have the authority to force people to keep homps in healthful con dltion, and whose duty is to work to keep people well. The Isthmus of Panama has been almost entirely rid of malaria by co operation of health officor and people in an organized. systemnatie way. Ig norance and prejudice havo done much to interfere withl vaccinlatiotn. EdttIit Carolina is tihe only state whiich dffuEW anti-typhlold treatment free and we must take advantage of it. Medich examination of schools should be much more tregularily enifotced and the parents forced to correct as far as possible the0 physical defects of thle child. We wold like to see the -Di rectot's of Rurttl Sanitation oftener In our schools. If we (10 all this T think that in a little wilie we would be all rewarded with a nioticeable imnprovement of tile hygenic conditions of tihe hlomes. In sutmming up I- would suggest: 1.
