North Carolina Leaders In Public Education Meet at Phapel Hill. At Chapel Hill last week the Superintendent of Public Sohools for the various counties of the State met , in regular annual session Nearly every county was represented.- Dr. F. P. Venable, President of the University, weloomed the body of educators and- spoke briefly of the responsibility and importance of each Ccuntv Superintendent of Schools. The meeting then proceeded with th j programme, which was a most interesting one. Some of the topjgs discussed were: Health and Sanitation, Instruction in Agriculture, Pub I lie High Schools, Uniform Examination for Teachers, Teacher Training, v Elementary Schools, and work of the County Superintendent. The session at which Health and " ? Sanitation were discussed was ex. ceedingly interesting. Dr. VV. S. Hankiu, Secretary of the North Carolina Hoard of Health, discussed Health and Sanitation. Dr. Jno. A. i Ferrell, representing the Hookworm ( Commission of North Carolina Board of Health, spoke briefly of investigations which show the wide-spread prevalence of bookworm disease in North Carolina. He explained that in theory the eradication of the disease was easy, but in practice a great problem, the solution of which .depended upon educational work. Many questions were asked and requests made that oases be described as they usually are before and after treatment. Prof. Highsmith, of Wake Forest College, cited two or three interesting cases he had i;en. Then Superintendent Thomps in, of Onslow County, spoke of the wonderful improvements which had I resulted among hookworm victims I in his county since hundreds of I people had been cured of the disease. He named' and described' several cases which had come under "his observation, and the results effected bv the cure of the disease were wonderful^ Concluding his remarks, he introduced the following resolution: Whereas, we the members of tl.e Association of Countv ents of schools of Xortb Carolina are convinced of the widespread preva? lence of hookworm disease in the Stale, and the disease occasions inestimable loss to'ftfe State in lives, vital itV, citizenship and material wealth; and whereas the disease is both preventable and curable. Be it resolved, that the Assooia1 tion hereby pledges its co-operation j in all well organized movements for the eradication of the the disease; and farther realizing that anch a j rated, we recommend-that the State ? ! take such steps as may be foufld > necessary to aid in_accomplishing the desired end.
