I ? ^ 9 BEST DISINFECTANTS Sunshine and Fresh Air Officially Endorsed as Most Effective Disinfectants "Sunshine and fresh airl These are the disinfectants tint are worth the time and the effort re quired to use them." This is the advice sent out by the State Board of Health in one of its recent health bulletins. It says further: "The idea that there is a mysteri ous potency and a guaranteed safety agabwt disease germs in III smelling disinfectants has a strong hold on the public mind. Often times too much relianoe is put in terminal disinfection to the neg lect of the proper precautions that should be daily practiced during the period of illness, such.as per sonal cleanliness, the free use of soap and water and plenty of sun shine and fresh air. "Without detracting fern the value of disinfectants when pro perly used, health officials bav< come to place their main reliant* on soan and water cleanaini followed, where possible, by sun light and fresh air- /The cleiou REPORTS SHOULD BE SENT IE if EARLY DATE. In o^der for thin office to shoW results in club work, it in essential tlml the members of Ibe Corn, Pig uud Poultry Club* send in their iiiml reports. We know tlie Club bo.v* went tbeir state to have as (food standing in Washington as any if the states, and also want to sustain the reputation of the work among the thinking people of the State- People of North Carolina are proud of what the club mem hers are doing, and this year they are looking for excellent results. Those of us in the office have Jfreat jfe,ith in our bo.vs, and know most of them have done good work. However, we can't prove it to other people unless tliey show enough interest to report. Cp to date we have only receiv ed 350 reports from our club boys. We know quite a number are iu ?the hands of County Demonstra tion Agents and will be sent in. We want a report from every club boy in the State whether he makes a yield large or small. Those who have not already sent their final reports?Form B 511-K? either to the County Agent <-r to the office at West Raleigh, should complete the same and send thorn in at once. Unless the bo.v* till out carefully and accurately these reports, have them witness ed as required on page fifteen of the Record Book, and send them iu, they need not expect to receive one of the beautiful little elub emblems, givenby the'State De partment of Agriculture. We are not in a position to announce the atatq wiimerf or to make our an nual report until these record books are turned in. A scholarship to the A. A M. College has been offered b.v the fol lowing Congressman to the boys in tlieir district making the best record in 1915: Mr. Small of the First District: Mr. Page of the Seventh District, Mr. Godwin of the Sixth District, and Mr. Dough ton of the Eighth District. We hoiie the boys iu these districts will show their appreciation bv ?tending in their reports.?Ws need them so that we can determine the winner. Remember that yield only counts 30 per cent, written history 20 per cent, and ear exhibit 20 per cent. It is not always the boy with thu largest yield who gets the higbeat grade. We want two thousand reports of this year's club work, and with every one doing his part we can get them, T. E Browne, Agent in Charge Boy's Agricul tural Clubs. * I? I'??! Fife Accidents in One Day. Last Saturday was an unlucky and disastrous day for several people of Aboskie. From ten ?,clock Saturday morning till four in the afternooo five accidents, more or less serious, occurred in Ibis town. Andrew Holloman, an aired and highly respected negro, who was employed at the Ahoskie Ginning Company's plant, in bend ing over some machinery that was in motion, became entangled in a cog wheel. Before he could -free himself, his bodv was whirled around and slammed against the floor, results broken leg anda mash ed arm. The arm was amputated. It was thought at one time that he had suffered internal injuries, but he is>at present getting along very nicely, and is rapidly improving. Just about the same or a little later. Mr. J. (J. Jenkins, who was operating a gasoline wood saw at the home of K. E. Cowan, had his little linger severe*! bv the moving saw.' Robert Ellis, a negro em nloyed by .the Branning Manufac turing Gmpanv. had his wrist severely crushed between two box cars that were being transferred from the A. C. L. railroad to the W. A P. railroad. Altho the wrist was badly mangled, amputa tion was not necessary. Some time in the course of Che same day a Ford "kicked"?result a broken wrist. A runaway horse hitched to a cart Jaden with peanuts, did hut little damage. We have not learned the names of the two latter victims. mode for the#* disinfectant# have been proven by medical science and are cominif to be more yen erallv adopted by health official# ' and the public as the best and safest means of disinfection.

SCHOOL MATTERS IN HERT FORD COUNTY. Superintendent Britton Depict* the Real Condition* in tbe One Teacher Schools. Progres sive-Work Needed All the school* in tbi* county have been visited by -the writer 'sioee they opened except about eight, and tbe moat of tbem aeem to be well under way and moving on smoothly. There are several thinirs quite noticeable, namely, that the school# which have ttood houses und are supplied with modern equipment and liavv up to date teachers are doing line work. It is a gieal pleasure to visit these schools, I find clean bouses, well kept urounds, pupils, usually comfort* ble, bapuy, and busy; teachers en thusiastic and proud to see the work progressing under their man agement. But m.v sympathy goes out to tne "teacher ana the pupils of the I one-teacher sellout. I tind in some ? places good honest teachers literal ly wearing themselves out trying to teach from fifty to seventy-five bovs and girls' having work in all the grades from tlitf first to the seventh inclusive. This needs nu comment for thoughtful people. Let us put our heads together and remedy this thing by combining two or more districts, building houses large enough to accomodate the ch ildien. employing teachers enough to teach tlie cildren proper ly. and by so doing make this class of schools equal to any in the county. We cannot do these tilings now, but let us begin to get ready for next session. Another matter. I see in my visits that in a few schools the children are not attending as they should. The teachers tell me they am doing what they can to get them in tne schools. It seems that they a-e kept home to work, which is of course ap important mutter. Now, we may talk about illiteracy and Moonlight schools all - we please.-but if t)ie childreirbf today are not. put in school for atr least 'four months in the year, we are going to have illiterate adults for ' years and years to come. Parents , are therefore appealed to. to put their children in school and keep them there aft lone as possible. Of course the la|r must be enforced, if it is not obeyed without it. Again. I want to say that nere is good and profitable work for young men and young woman who are enjoying the benefits of an education.? They may do splendid work bv seeing to it that the children in their respective com munitiea have at least a chance to enter school. If there should be 1 one that is unable to get books or sufficient clothing,, call on the liberal and unselfish people in the { community to furnish these, or if ? any parent should keep his child home to work unnece-isarilv, have a talk with him on the subject and help him to know his duty to -liiw child, to the community, sod to the slate. I am asking the teach ers, over-worked as many of them are. to see the parents who do not' send their children regular and get them to do so, if possible; without, the enforcement Of the law. I am watching to see what com munity, what school, will report the least number pf boys and girls not attending any school this ses sion. What one shall it bet N. W. Britton. County Superintendent.
