PAGE 6 CROOK COUNTY JOURNAL BOARD Of HEALTH Rules to Be Followed in the Schools are Good WOULD APPLY IN HOMES, TOO Read Them Over, Cut Them Out and Paste in Your Scrap Book The state board of health has is sued a little booklet for use by the health officer in the district schools of the state, in which are contained so many good points for the home as well as the school that the Journal has decided to reprint most of its text. If these ideas were enforced in the homes and schools of the state there would be less sickness. Here they are: Windows should be at least one ninth of the floor space. Windows should be to the left ani the rear of the building. If this is not done, it is better to change the desks. The blackboard should never be between two windows. If it is, curtains should be procured to darken these windows. Eye strain usually begins in the public school. The building must be ventilated. Let the bad air out. Always open windows from the top. Every school should have a board to fit under the lower sash so air can be sifted betwen the upper and lower sashes. An cpen window is better than an open grave. The windows should be washed at least once each" term. Don't be afraid to let the sun light in. The building should be swept every day and the floor should be covced with sweeping compound or wet paper to prevent the raising of dust. The windows should tje opened while sweeping. See that the furniture and desks are all wiped with a wet cloth Don't allow a feather duster. Springs are dangerous unless very carefully guarded. , Don't allow waste water from well to run back into the well. See that the curb is good and tight and the well cemented around the top. A bubbling fountain is best. Next a cooler with individual cups. Don't dip into a bucket. Toilets must be kept neat and clean. If the odor is disagreeable, one pound of Paris green to five gallons of ashes from the stove will quickly destroy all odor. Where a septic tank is used, no chloride of lime or disinfectant should be allowed to get into the tank. , Wash basins should be furnished, one each for boys and girls. These should be scoured with Dutch Cleanser at least' once each week. If roller towels are used they should be changed every day. Paper towels can be used, but they must be put in a box and burned each day in the stove after using. The school grounds must be kept clean and if pools of water collect on the grounds, have the Board of Directors plow and furrow and drain it out. Have ample room for a baseball or tennis ground. Don't allow rubbish, remains of lunches or anything to be thrown on- the grounds. If any stagnant pools of water are seen, cover with a pint of coaloil for each hundred square feet to kill mosquitoes. Remember that flies breed in filth and carry disease. Don't allow any food for flies to remain within 200 foet of the school house. Watch for the boy or girl who is careless about spitting. That is the only way you get consumption. Be particularly careful about the boy or girl who has a cough. Look out for cleanliness not only in the school room and building, but in your own personal appear anee. Remember that "example is better than precept." Watch your finger nails. There is no such thing hs catching cold in a wound. The matter nearly always comes from dirty finger' nails. If the roof and the well both leak, have the well fixed first. Flies on your food may be as dangerous as Rough on Rats. Keep flies from the house and you will keep doctors away. A rain barrel full of water means a house full of mosquitoes. Good water is more to be prized than diamonds and clean hands are better than fine gold. A rusty tin cup and a wooden bucket in a school room are con venient. but very dangerous. A stuffy room is the germ s best ally. A little ventilation is better than much quinine. A clean toilet costs less than a funeral. Allow the germs to escape and protect the child. Don't shut them up in the same room. Keep bodies, heads hands and nails and clothing clean and there is little chance of gptting disease. For further information write the State Board of Health, 1012 Selling Building, Portland, Oregon. Each school is allowed to elect its own Health Officer from among fne pupils. If for any reason your badge be comes lost or stolen, write tne State Board of Health and another will be furnished.
