i |. Mr. R. S Stevens, father of Mrs. J.
C. Simmons, Dies Suddenly in
' Philadelphia-Will be Buried at
Graham.
[*• Late Monday afternoon Mrs. J.
#,% C. Simmons received a telegram
from an official in Philadelphia, an
nouncing the death of her father,
Mr. R. S. Stevens. It is presumed
a letter on his person directed the
message to her. At once Mrs. Sim
mons sent a message to her son,
Dr. Steven Simmons, connected
with a hospital in Philadelphia,
who replied that the body would
be prepared for burial and for
p" warded to this place. The tele
gram did not specify the day, but
mentioned the hour of leaving, ana
was therefore expected to reach
this place either at eight or ten
yerterday morning, coming by way
of Greensboro. Then it was ex
pected to come by way of RAeigh
and reach here on one of the even
ing trains. At this writing (Thurs
" , - day afternoon) it has not arrived,
but is looked for on every coming
train. The suspense has been a
most painful ordeal for Mrs. Sim
mons and she is deeply sympathiz
ed with by her many friends.
Mr. Stevens had lived at one
time in Pennsylvania, but for a
few years recently he had spent
mopt of his* time in Memphis. He
was a highly skilled mechanic and
designer, which business carried
him to different points, and while
in Philadelphia he is believed to
have died suddenly. He was 70
years, or past, of age. His wife
died some 15 or more years ago
while on a visit to their daughter;
Mrs. Simmons, who is their only
child, and was buried here. Mr.
Stevens was a gentleman of quiet
manner and esteemed by all with
whom acquainted.
Mrs. Simmons has the sincere
aympathy of her many friends in
her sad bereavement.
The man who knows how to take
hold of things .by the handles ha*

months ago he was stricken with
paralysis, but a greater part, of iba

and about hie home. Ten days, be
fore hie death h« had other attacks
and during that time his condition
was critical and the result was not
unexpected.' When he peacefully
fell asleep he was surrounded by hia
devoted wife and daughters. Though
expected, hia death was none the
leaa a shock to all hia acquaintances.
Mr. Irwin was a native of Georgia
and hia home waa at Maysville be
fore he tame to make his home here
about 18 years ago. He wis born
April 20, 1853. He was the son of
Rev. 0. M. Irwin, a distinguished
Baptist minister, and his mother was
of the well known Battle family in
the Northeastern part of thiß State
In May he would have been married
forty-four years. He is survived by
his widow, Mrs. Irwin, and three
daughters—Mrs. Logan M. Crichton
of Atlanta, Gsi., Mrs. Herbert Post
of East Orange, N. J., and Mrs. L.
Banks Williamson of. Glenooe, this j
county. A sister, Mrs. Wharton of i
Georgia, the widow of the la'e"Rev. j
Dr. M. B. Wharton, also survives I

In early life he joined the Baptist
church and lived a devout and con

church for many years and for seven
years was the beloved and esteemed

After coming to make Graham his
home he was first connected with
the Oneida Store Co., and since, for
about fifteen yeara, he was connected
with the business management of the

ness man he was diligent, painstak
ing, careful and courteous. For a
number of yeara he had been secre
tary and treasurer to the Board of
Trustees of the Graham Public
Schools. In whatever capacity he
acted he rendered faithful and ac
ceptable service. He won friends

Jas. W. Rose, Pastor of the Baptist
church, assisted by Rev. Dr. T. M.
McConnell of the Presbyterian
church and Rev. H. E. Myers of the
M. E. Church, after which the
body was laid to rest in
Lin wood cemetery. The large
number who attended the funeral
and burial services and the numerous

bespoke the high esteem in which
he was held. His grave was com

BVBBCRIBB FOR THIS* GLEANER,

. . '
| Alamance took the initiative in
the public schools. Dr. Thos. M.
Jordan, State Mt dical "Inspector, be
gan bis work here the middle of last
November and closed last Friday. ,
Friday night health exercises were
held at the Graham Graded School,
when Dr. Jordan spoke. It was
pleasing to the large audience to
hear him say that the sanitary con
dition of this school was the beet of
any school in the county, and that
he had held it up as a model for the
other schools of4he county. It was
also most gratifying to the patrons,
trustees, teachers and eveiyone con
nected with the schools.
Saturday's exercises were a fitting
close of the big undertaking to ex
amine the thousands of school chil
dren in the county and indicate in
what way any physical defects might
be treated to help the child in his
efforts.
The exercises were attended by
representatives of every business,
calling and profession. A number
of talks were made by county men—
county officials, doctors, teachers,
ministers, lawyers, and with one ac
cord the work.done was commended,
the results of which will be far
reaching and of incalculable benefit
to the county.
I Below we give the report of Dr
Jordan, and a careful reading of it
j will be worth the while to anyone in
, anyway interested in improved uealth
conditions.
Report of Dr. Thos. M. Jordon,
To the Board of Commissioners, to
the Board of Education and to
the Board of Health of Alamance
County: ,
GENTLEMEN:- •
I have the honor of submitting
herewith a report of the medical
inspection of the white children in
the public schools of your county 1 .
Beginning on Monday, Nov. 15,
1916, and until Friday, ltth inst.,
I have been each school day in one
of the publis schools of the county,
and this report represents in de
tail the findings.
I have examined 4,124 children.
2,950, or 71 percent of whom had
some form or defect. Lest this ap
pear an enormous percent, I will
say that this is below the average
percent found in other places where
Buch work has been done; and fur
ther I wish to explain that this
71 percent includes the children
that have even a minor defect,
some of which would not interfere
with the ehild's school progress or
impair its health if pot treated. Of
the number examined, 1,490, or 36
percent have defects such as to
prevent the best progress of the
child in school work and leave open
gateways to the germ of infectious
and contagious diseases if not treat
ed.
Of the 4,124 children examined,
only 1,020, less than 25 percent have
been vacinated against smallpox,
314, a little more than percent
have been vaccinated against ty
phoid fever.
Of the 50 schools visited, only
one—the Graded School in Graham
can be classed as a perfectly san
itary school, and it is worthy of
mention in this connection that the
children of this school show a
smaller number of defectives than
any dtlier school In the county.
This significant fact may not be
due entirely to the sanitary sur
roundings of the public school
in this locality, but in a meas
ure may be due to the fact that
people who maintain sanitary pub
lic school houses and surroundings
live more in accord with sanitary
regulations at home.
That this report may not be too
voluminous I do not deem it nec
essary to go into details as to the
kind and number of defects found.
That information can be found in
a weekly report furnished the
Health Department of the State, if
desired.
In addition to the medical inspec
tion of the school children, the In
spector has held at each school an
afternoon session of the whole
school in a study of the Health
Catechism furnished to the
schools by the State Board of
Health. At these sessions many of
the grown people have attended
and participated in the exerc!s»s.
At night a lantern slide lecture
has been given in 5t of the
55 schools visited—inclement weath
er hindering only four of the night
sessions. At these meetings a
careful estimate at the time of each
meeting, gives a total of 8,790 peo
ple addressed.
Three hundred and seventy-nine
miles have been covered in visit
ing these schools, and your Inspec
tor has been hospitably entertain d
in evhomes in tne county. In the
he has lived in the houses
'JT'Methodists, Baptists, Episcopa
lians, Presbyterians, Prien as. Pro
testant Methodists, Democrats and
Republicans. All have made him
feel Welcome, among all of whom
the issue of good health and dis
ease prevention sidetracked every
other discussion.
In closing this repot* permit nw
to say, that the value of this cam
paign cannot be estimated in dol
lars and cents, but the good to be
derived from such an effort de
pends upon the after cultivation
the county and its people may give
to the planting. Let me beseech
you to continue in this disease-pre
vention work—the first to be start
ed in Just this fashion in any coun
ty in North Carolina__— until you
'may see at least at o'very public
school house In the county, the
place where your children receive
all of their educational impressions
—a drinking fountain and
two sanitary privies, one for the
girls and one for boys.
Respectfully submitted,
THOS. M. JORDAN,
State Medical Inspector.

Un Vou villi Fault With ICwrj'budj
An irritable fault finding dispo

the stomach and enable it to per
