Emily Hammond Smith, public
honlth instructor, who has neen
working In Douglas county for the
past three months, has Just com
pleted her report for the month of
September and submitted It to the
executive committee of the local Red
Cross. The course which Miss Smith
has been giving has been finished for
the present time In this county, and
Miss Smith lias gone to ine iteeua
port country for a three months In
struction in home hygiene there. She
will probably return here later to
give a course to all those who wish
to avail themselves of the opportun
ity this winter. The course has been
most popular in Douglas county and
Miss Smith has had large and en
thusiastic classes in every section.
The report for September follows:
The classes In Garden Valley,
Green, Glide, Camas valley, uaa
land, Sutherlln anad Roseburg have
all been terminated this month and
report sent to headquarters in Se
attle.
Owing to the great amount of
work among all the women In these
communities, it was inevitable mat
many naturally would be otigea to
be absent from some of the classes,
but the interest kept up during the
whole course of 1 5 lessons, and near
ly everyone wishes the work could
be taken up again wnen me
timo to devote to It. Also there
Is a great deal of Interest shown by
the mothers in the neaitn ano cr
of the school children. As a result
of the course there will be proviueu
warm lunches, and In some places
scales and measuring rods to deter-
ine the general physical conuiuon
of the children. Camas alley is
very keen about the school lunch and
scales. Sutnernn is inieiemcu ..
