HEALTH CRUSADE
IN THE SCHOOLS
Sponsored by North (Jurolinu
TulwrruloMst Association in
the Schools of llie Whole
State.
Sanatorium . Sept. 26?North Car
has around 7 53.000 children in its
public schools enrolled in grade*
from 1 to 7. To kuep them growing..
In both mlud and lirdy fur the n??xi
six. eight or'nine month-* is t"it? d??u

A few years ago. training the mind
was one thing and keeping the body
well and strong was another. Today
it Is a well established iaet that If
the brain is to grow and develop
normally, along with it mu?t grow
?nd develop a strong, sound body.
A proper functioning body is essen
tial to a properly functioning mind.
So related Is the growth and devel
opment of the mind to the growth
and development of the body that
no modern progressive school sys
tem of today attempts the flrst with
out giving consideration to the other.
Almost every worth while school In
the country has Inaugurated some
method of teaching the fundamental
rules of health to th? children, which
at the same time helps them to put
their knowledge Into practice.
Probably the most popular and
successful health movement that has
been worked out in the schools In
this country Is the modern health
crusade, developed and practiced by
Mr. Charles M. IJoForest of the Na
tional Tuberculosis Association. New
York City. Since the inauguration
of this movement four ?or five years
ago. millions of American children
have been given training in forming
good health habits. In North Car
olina alone 96.000 children were
given this training last year.
The Modern Health Crusade In the
schools Is a system of teuching that
Imparts good health habits. Its
basis is practice <and not mere pre
cept. Under it the children do the
duties explained In hygiene and phy
siology that are too often left un
done. Through play and romance
and various other appeals suited to
child psychology, it gives children
the motive needed for the every day
practice of hygiene.
The results of Crusade work in
the schools have been found to ')e
physical and moral improvement,
prevention of disease, and better at
tendance and deportment in schools.
It links the school and the home In
health work. Children not less thnn
eight years old may qualify as Mod
ern Health Crusaders while the pro
gram Is elastic enough to be adapted
to the needs of children in the sixth,
seventh and even higher grades.
The North Caroling Tuberculosis
Association, headquarters of which
are at Sanatorium, sponsors the
Modern Health CruAade Movement in
this State and furnishes the supplies
for inaugurating the system in the
?chools. t

Getting Ready For
Big Football Game
Contract Let For Erection Of
Grandstand* On Riddick
Field, State College
Raleigh. Sept! 26.?Contract for
(the erection of wooden stands on
Iilddick Field at State College, to ac
j commodate 4.160 spectators, has
been let to W. B. Barrow of Raleigh.
| Work will begin immediately and the
Job will be rushed to completion In
time for the first major home game,
that with the Tniversity of South
Carolina, on October 13. J. M. Ken
nedy, also of Raleigh, Is the archi
tect.
The new stands will be located
along the eastern side of the field,
I where the embankment was cut
away during the summer, and they
will be permanent, or rather they j
will remain in place until the Tech
Athletic Association is able to re
place them with concrete construc
tion.
For the last several years tempor
ary bleachers have been used on the
east side of the field for the football
games and when the baseball seas
on came around the stands were re
moved to make room for the spring
j sport.* This practice, while expens
; ive and troublesome, was necessary
on account of the limited space. With
the embankment cut away, however,
considerably more than the regula
tion distance for baseball is avail
able. even with the bleachers in
place.
Tne new stands will be built fronl!
a platform at least three-feet high
which will give spectators seated on)
the bottom row an uninterrupted,
view of the plpylng field over the
heads of person** standing In front.
Additional bleachers will be erect
ed also at the south end of the field, I
next to the railroad, a&d the Hue of j
{concrete stuuds along the western!
side will bo supplemented with wood
en construction providing seats com
1 ph tely around the field. According >
to I'roft ".-or Thomas N.-lson, of the,
Scully athletic committee, who is la
charge of the seating arrangements,;
! more than 9,000 people can be seat-j
ed at the I'air Week game with Car
'olina, and there will be standlugl
j room for three to four thou*aud'
j mori'.
Tlij^ie will be :j,150 reserVed seats
orTTTu- Carolina side of the field, and I
? 2.040 on the State College side.]
ITirkets for these two reserved sec-j
.tions will go on sale about October
|l. The price will be two dollars!
each. Mail orders should be ad
dressed to I'rofessor Thomas Nelson,
State' College Station, Raleigh, who
I advises that the purchaser should
specify his preference as to the side
?of the field and enclose ten cents ad
ditional for registering the tickets.

"She Looks Well

Of course she does! But it's
.no gift of the gods?Just good
taste plus common sense. She
"looks well in anything she
puts on" because she is care
ful never to put 'on anything
alio will not look well in!
It's not a matter of money,
either. Rather of wisdom lu
fcelectien. No woman can
dres:* well on money alone! We
know a lot of women, and you
