At Mountain View
la st Friday was a great day for
the Mountain View rural center.
Forty representatives of extension
service from eleven states visited
the school and w itnessed a health
demonstration program which show
ed the splendid results of the nutri
tion and corrective work begun at
the school last October. The visit
ors arrived by auto from Corvallis
at 4:30 p. m.—about an hour be
hind their schedule. Although the
pupils were kept waiting beyond
the usual time, and darkness
threatened to interf« re with the
program, nevertheless it proved to
be very interesting, and the pupils
gave evidence of keen interest in
forming correct health habits.
The visitors were welcomed by
Mrs. S. I. Coleman, project leader
for the community. Miss Smith,
nutrition expert of the Oregon Ag
ricultural College extension service,
who has had the supervision of the
work, explained the health program
which is being carried out at the
school and introduced the "jolly
ten squad” , who in a unique way
told the secrets of their gain, which
includes drinking a pint of milk ev
ery day, six glasses of water, eat-
ing^brown bread, fruit and two
vegetables besides potatoes every
day, brushing teeth, etc. Other
numbers included compositions on
"How I play the game of health” ,
presentation of health posters made
by the pupils and individual charts
showing each pupils gain by a
graphical
representation.
The
charts showed that many of the pu
pils have far surpassed the expected
gain in weight.
Mrs. Inez Miller, principal of the
school, gave a short talk on the
health project work and told how
it is carried through practically ev
ery subject. She stated that since
the intrtxluction of the warm lunch
and soup at noon the pupils are
quieter in the afternoon and do
more efficient work. The usual lag
ging in the afternoon is absent, she
said.
W.L. Cadderly of the O. A. C.
extension department spoke briefly
for the visitors after which they
were conducted through the build
ing. The health program by high
ly commended was the extension
representatives both for (its 'effect
upon the pupils and the splendid
training given the student teachers
of the Normal.
The extension committee was
accompanied from Corvallis by City
Superintendent J. O. McLaughlin,
County Superintendent Castle, Polk
County Agent Paul Carpenter and
others. Representing the Normal
faculty were Prof. W. G. Beattie,
Miss Laura J. Taylor and Miss Mac-
Pherson. There was a large atten
dance from the patrons of the
Mountain View district.
Monmouth had a little "flu”
scare this past week and on Sunday
evening at the suggestion of the
authorities services in the churches
was dispensed with.
There have
been a few cases of the ailment in
town but the city authorities an
nounce that proper restrictions are
being used, and unless the situation
becomes decidedly worse no further
ban will be placed on public activ
ity.
