' SCHOOL ADVANTAGES. c Schools are opening tor the fall term and that means great op portunities are offered the vountf boys and girls. Those who can and do not take, advantage of ' therrj, unfortunately; will not realise 'their mistake Until it is too late. Parents are in position to know the value of an education to. their children and as far as e- iin.uing auuum seo iuat nicy Ket i$ efen if it requires some ' . sacrifice on their part. The excuses 'for not sending jand keeping children in school are too many and too' frivolous. Very often there is lack of bar inony among .the patrons of a school when, in a majority of cases, there is no reason for such. The reports that children carry nom'e to thejrparents in . regard to the teacher are some times, misleading and if the parents would ; go and see for for themselves .5 they would so find. There inay beinooonH'ti nt -teachers but they would have to be very incompetent if they wer i it . . not capaoie oi leacning aoov or girl somethingthat would be more than worth the. price they pay Some boys know so much before they start to school that it is hard matter to teach, them any Don't allo erusei y :;ot9 Show -little faults of scitools or teachers to be the mBt)s of keeping children frou sUjjoI.

It is probably a afe estimate to say that If a thorough investi gation were made into the source of infection in communities in which typhoid fever is abnormal ly prevalent, two-thirds of the cases would trace back to faeces polluted drinking-water. The public water supplies of North Carolina are, with scarcely an exception, of very high quality and all are safe-guarded by monthly biological and chemical analyses. As regards the average run of private wells, it may with equal truth be said that the quality of these could hardly be worse. It is obviously out of the question to make frequent analyses of even a small proportion of such wells. No one who is compelled to slake his thirst from such a well can have any real assurance that he is not at the same time taking into his stomach the germ of typhoid fever. But the risk does not end here- People must use milk as well as water, and very frequently the unsuspecting use them in .combination, as when the thrifty dairyman dilutes his too thick milk with a little well water. Even where the dairy man scorns such tricks, he prob ably uses well water to wash his cans and utensils, and in this manner he may unwittingly convey to his customers the disease-producing typhoid germ. Even when the typhoid germ is absent, faeces-polluted water is generally injurious to health. It may and does contain germs which in the human body can give origin to inflammation, catarrhs, and dysenteries. It is fortunate for the health of rural communities that the sourc of drinking-water is most often a naturalspringrather than a dug well. When situated above one hundred yards from the house and barn, country springs are rarely or never polluted. On the other hand, it is almost invaria bly the case that the average farm-yard well is polluted by hiecal bacteria. The same con demnation must be visited upon1 town wells. The typical back yard well is a shallow pit, from fifteen to thirty feet deep Usu ally there is no casing and the only protection from surface contamination is a more or less rickety platform or, as is often the case, merely a square box or top. In towns, while the wells may be o' better construction, the chances art; that the soil is more thorout-ily iiudtivitMlte' great. One of the most unfortunate consequences of the private own ership of public water supplies is that all but the. well to do citi zens consider theinselvs unabln to afford th .: cost of the safe guarded supply. Thus a town may have as many towns in North Carolina have -a very pure and excellent water supply and yet the majority of the citizens will continue to drink from sewage-polluted wells. Soabsolutely necessary is pure water, afad an abundance of it to thepub!ichealth,themunicipalities should see that citizens are sup plied with pure water even be fore they are supplied with elec tric lights, macadamized street, and similar modren conveniences. livery town or one hundred or more families should secure a public water supply. For most small towns in North Carolina such a supply can be most cheap ly and satisfactorily obtained from an artesian well. The arte sian water supplies of North Carolina are generally very pure, though they are as a rule highly mineralised, and very hard. When a town has once installed public water supply of good quality, and the water is offered to consumers at the lowest pos sible price, all private wells with in the region traversed by the public watermains should be con demned and closed up as men aces to the public health. Already some towns in the State are taking steps in this direction by having made, at the cost of the municipality, analyses trom a sufficient number of pri vate wells to determine the gene ral character of these.
