of Sumter county, is promulgating the j
following rules and regulations of the j
South Carolina State Board of Health!
for all schools in South Carolina,
The object in giving widespread
publicity of these rules and regula- |
tions is that the Chamber of Com- j
merce has ascertained that the of- j
Scials in charge of the health survey !
intend to rigidly enforce the same, and j
the trustees, teachers, and patron's of i
all rural schools, white and colored I
schools should be given timely warn- j
ing.
Just as soon as the rural schools
of ihe county open, and as they open !
I
for the .11 JO scholastic terms, the
county health survey oJEScials and ex-?
perts will swing ihtd full forinatian.
for a county-wide h-alth drive. ? ,
Thousands of dollars have been
appropriated ami contributed by the j
State Beard of Health, the Internat
ional Health Board, the county of j
Sumter. the Anti-Tuberculosis Asso- j
elation of South Carolina, and the cit-i
izens of Sumter and Sumter county!
for this county health survey, and j
campaign of education to make Sum- j
ter county a more healthful and de- ?
sirabie place in which to live. Dr. j
J. H. Haynsworth, county superin- j
tendent of education, the county board j
of education, the State board of edu-!
cation, and the attendance officer, j
Prof. Hutchinson, will back up the
health survey officials in every feature)
of the rules and regulations.
Dr. E. S. Booth, president of the;
Chamber of Commerce, is very much j
interested in and has given much of j
his time to cooperating, and will con- j
tinue helping out with the health!
survey. j
A great deal of splendid work has
already been accomplished by the
sanitary experts, nurses, inspectors,
and engineer of the survey without
any spectacular display or- much pub-1
licity. Manyl septic tanks for dispos
al of household sewage and hundreds
of sanitary privies have been installed

over this county, thousands have been!
inoculat* q witn anti-typhoid serum, i
tuberculosis has been fought, tubers-*']
cu'ar^'patients sought cut. assisted,!
families wher tubercular patients are;
have been advised how to prevent the!
spread ,oJ' the disease, patients in-j
structed likewise, some tubercular pa
tients have been isolated, some sent
to the Camp Alice Tuberculosis
Camp, many homes have been visit
ed and inspected, and conditions re-1
corded and nuisances abated, and oth- J
er good work put in.
But it is during the school sessions j
perhaps that the greatest educational j
and practical benefits are secured in a
county health survey. Arrangements
have been completed between Dr.
Rankin and Secretly Reardon. of the
Chamber of Commerce, County Agent
J. Frank Williams, and Miss Alice
Martin, home demonstration agent co
operating, whereby there will be many
public health meetings at different
schools in the county for adults as
well as for school children, and there
will be illustrated health lectures fcr
the school children and for adults
a'so at schools, churches, and other
public places.
The colored population will be giv
en the same advantages and oppor
tunities as the white people, as will
the children of the colored schools. I
Dr. L. Bragg Anthony has done aj
great deaI*of fine work already among;
the negro population, and she will get
in some high grade work among the
colored schools also.
Mrs. Edith Stroupe, the county
health nurse, directing nurse work,
has shaped up her campaign of activi
ties, and Dr. Rankin and Mrs. Stroupe
have completed their program ior or
ganization for effective work. Mrs
Stroupe has had several years' ex
perience with the British sanitary ex
peditionary force during the great
world war. and was for quite a while
connected with a famous eye. throat,
and nose sanitorium_j>f this country,
and has had much experience in so-1
cial sanitary and public charity work, j
She is a professional graduate and j
sanitary nurse, and the director ofj
public rural health Dr. L. A. Riser, I
adn Dr. Rankin waited several months j
for this lady to be released in order
to secure her for this county health
survey. Dr. D. L. Rankin is an army
surgeon and sanitary worker of years
experience. Sumter county is fortu
nate indeed in having these two prin
cipals in charge of the health survey.
All that is now needed is absolute co
operation on the part of the people
of Sumter county, absolute confidence
m the health survey officials, and car
rying out. of their advice and instruc
tions. %
