J W. U VAtJOHAK, County Superintendent:"* This UUIe pamphlet, ontitled Health Bulletin, Number 1," with' concise, but graphic secondary title' of "Eyes and Bars," was prepared by Dr. w. 8. Rankin, Secretary of the State Board of Health, who Is not' only a well known specialist, but who! Is rdpldly becoming, by his study of the hetftar^tondltlons of our public1 schools, a m^st Important p^rt of our' public school system. , For the benefit of those who are; not teaching, especially committee-, men and parents, i am giving the fol- ! ?owing extracts from, this Important publication, and I appeal to the' patrons and friends of uft public schools that they lend their assis tance in every possible way in the up-! , building of the health o? ouc future cltlxens; I quote: The first duty of every teacher and every school official Is to protect the health and the' lives of the children committed to their care by providing for them healthful surroundings in schoolroom and on school grounds. In matters of hygiene and sanita tion example Is better than precept, and the teaching of dally surround ings more effective than the memor ising from books of hygienic rules and fawB. ^ Simple, brief health talks should he (Ivan to all the children of the school by erery teacher once or twice every week. The old, narrow, Bhort-eighted Idea of edncatlon that concerned Itself with but a part of the clilld ? It* mind T4* fMt giving place to *n education that seeks the development of the whole child ? mln'd, soul and body. In this broader education the teacher Will add to the work of instruction the more Important duty of "chlM atudy. As the child studies the book, ?o will the teacher study the child. The old Idea, still extensively held that dlsaaaes are foreordained. Inevl table, has been shown by the exten sive researches of tha last quarter of , * c*otury to be Incorrect We now know that many diseases ire prevent able, and that, unprevented. they set aside for naught much bf tha work of Preparation.. How foolish, then, for teachers to continue to concern themselves solely with the child's mind, developing^ It symmetrically, and how short-sighted of teachers to fall to teach the child Nature's first commandment, self pro tection that la. the very simple meaaa of <Muse prevention! ? The n^olhouse should always- be located on aqejeTatlon , so that Its Immediate vicinity is perfectly drain ?d. <The roads on general principles ought to he good, but In their reW tlon to tha schools all roads leading thereto shonld hsve . looi' it ream, no matter how small. ehould have a hand-rail On* of the crying needa la oar elt uatlon la bettor and more attractive schoolhousee. From tka hygienic point of view the two main features to be considered in the construction of the echool-room are the lighting and the ventilation? the former for the protection of the eyse and lie lat ter for the general health of the po plla. The room should be oblong, the width being to the length about aa three to foar. with the teaeher'e plat form at one end. For primary or grammar echool. with reglater of 64 pupils and attend ance of about SO, the room ehoold be about ti feet long. Is wide, and 1* high, which giro, practically upward of 300 cubic feet of air and l? l-? ? f?et of floor spoce to fiarh n? pit The danger to the eyes of school children 1? the .production of near sightedness, due to an elongation of the eyeball backward, and InsuOc lent light la the moet potent came. The continued tenelon of the mus cle, of adjustment (accomodation and convergence) la the principal fac tor In the production of near eight, and. as the nearer the object to the eyes the greater the tension or strain upon both these nets of muscles is. It folIoWa that everything havjng a ten dency to cause the onttue approxima tion of objects on which the oyee are Continuously used during fhlldhdoa assists in the origination of this con dition Since a large part of childhood, and particularly that part of It In which the eyes are used, most on near ob jects, Is passed In the school-room. It ts there fhat we would naturally seek the causes of this trouble. And It is there they are generally found. School children are often compelled to hold their books too near ? that Is, nearer than ten Inches? because the amount of light l^lnsufflclent. This question of plenty of light of good quality (the best 1? direct from a northern sky) In the school-room Is of the highest Importance. In a gen eral way. It may be said that there should always he enough light to en able a child to read on a moderately clear day line print lp the darkest corner of the room at the distance of a foot. And the direction from which H-eoraea-la -also imuor.ant' ably It should come from the left and above. ?o that, while Illuminating the page, It may not fall upon the eyes nor cast a shadow of the hand In writing. The next best direction IS from behind, then from the right, but never from In front. The children shold always look at a dead wall. The requirements necessary for suoh a light are: Four windows on the left of the puplla as they alt. the tops being square and not mora than all inches from the celling, the bottoms being at least three and a half feet from the Boon, equally spaced, not group ed. with transom sashea hung at the >aae above the eliding saahes. A win dow or two In addition at the back l> admissable.,The else of the windows on the side, taken collectively, should equal at least one-sixth of the Boor space. The highest authorltlea In (school hygiene require ?00 or 860 square lnchea of glOs for each pupil. I 4 On the side opposite the en dows two doors, with traeeom win dows above hung at the bs?, and be tween these transom windows, and on the same line, two more windows ol the same kind eiid hunt In the same Wanner. ' ' 5. The walls should be slightly tinted, but not the celling. S. A blackboard may be between the doors, hut a sliding blackboard back of the teacher's platform, or a portable one on the platform. wouH perhape be better than the profusion of wall blackboard now In vogu< among us. The main rule to be observed In th< placing of seats Is to carry them u far as possible toward the window aide of the room, aa far'M poeolhU team the oppoelte side; the aim "be lig to make the arrangement^ sue! <y^J?,^^ao,.,rt.llnot.? . . : V-a. . INSURGENTS EXPECTED TO KEEPJP FIGHT Senate is Disturbed Renewed Outbreaks to Come With IJyery Interjection of the Coonon Rules? Fate of Several Bills One of the live Topics. ROW UPSETS CONGRESS Washington , Jan. 18. ? No matter how satisfactorily an arrangement is made for the aelecUon of the Joint committer to Investigate the Ballln ger-Plnchot controrera y, the Insur gent fight promises to occupy a prom inent place in the eongresalonal situ ation during the coming week. Dissensions between the lnaurgenta and regulara In the Houae hare oc cupied the center of Ahe stage for a fortnight although several Important measuree have been paaaed. The bickerings hare even spread to the 8enate wing of the Caplto! and legls latlon there haa been at a standstill.

They look for re newed outbreaks whenever any ques Hon affecting me cannon tdlM ll ln terjected Into the proceedlnga. Fate of "Sfy Policies." Second Interest to the discussion of the battle between the Itopubllcan organization and the insurgents In the House ta the gossip in both branches of Congress as ifo what will be the fate of the several adminis tration bills to put Into force what are known as Taft policies as differ entiated from Roosevelt policies. These embrace the program for the amendment of the Interatate com* merce laws, tjie Sherman antl-trugt law, and carrying Into effect meas ures for the conservation of natural resource*. Little opposition has been heard to the administration measure for the strengthening of -the Interstate com merce act. On all sides It seems to be conceded that some such measure' as la proposed by 'Mr. Taft will be enacted. Inert ia%Mhe-4fodae. The message of the President bear ing upon the question of enacting a voluntary Federal lncorporatVpn law to offset the interpretation placed upon the Sherman antitrust law by the Standard Oil Company dissolu tion case, and a possible affirmation by the 'Supreme Court of that decis ion has attracted little attention In the House. On the Senate aide the members of the Judiciary committee have been favored with an opportu nity to read the bill which President Taft and Attorney General Wicker m hare drafted and will present to the Senate through Senator Clark of Wyoming, chairman of the com mittee on Judiciary."" Comments upon the Federal Incor poration bill have not been altogeth er favorable. The administration bills to carry out Mr. Taft'a views on the subject of the- conservation of natural re sources are still before the House committee on public lands awaiting the announcement of Bome volunteer that he la willing to undertake their defenae In the Houae. The offer ol Chalnpan Mondell of Wyoming, to Introduce the bllla "by request" hav ing been declined by President Taft and Becretary Bgllinger, attention will be given to the measures by in dividual membera of the committee and tbey may be parcelled out among several of the Western representa tives. Many people believe that the ad ministration forcea made a mistake -in declining tbo proffer of Mr. Mon dell. His opposition to the Ballinget bills,, la said 'to be In harmony with lukewarm support given by him 1e the past to the Roosevelt or Tafl programs for the conservation of nat ural resources.

' ? j DC' ; - PUBLIC HEARING BP COMMITTEE NOW MjMPLETE Rivers and Harbor Bill The Bill Should Be Ready to Be Reported to the House Not La ter Than Feb. 1, Says Chair man Alexander.' * A YEARLY APPROPRIATION Washington, D. C., Jan. 18. ? The public hearings before the Rivera and Harbors Committee or the House have been completed and the com mittee la In dally executive session for the consideration of a river and harbor bill which Chairman Alexan der believes should be completed and reported to the House not later thaa February 1st. In addition to delegations of cltl sens interested In particular projects many Representatives in Congress were heard In the advocacy, of a broad and comprehensive policy to ward the waterways of the nation as urged In season and out by the Na tional Rivers snd Harbors Congress. Among the particular projects which received attention as present ed by delegations of citliens Inter ested, Introduced by members of Con gress. were the Coosa and Flint river faittftNM; 1 fluefr Wall* MPBAF AR the northwest coast of Florida either at Appalachlcola, Carrabelle or St. Andrews Bay; a. fresh survey of, the Wabash river up to Terre Haute/the adop^on of projects relative to the San Joupuin and Sacramento rivers; deeper water in Norfolk harbor; larger appropriations for locks and dams on the Ohio to the end that th?a great artery of commerce may bo completed within twelve years. Other projects to which attention was directed were tho*S looking to more exhaustive surveys with special referepce. to the holding of vater in ^eck certain seasons of ;he year. The Savanah river at and below Au gusta Is an exan^)le of the '.nods of better navigation facilities. While there Is plenty of water in this par ticular* section of the Savannah Its! behavior is particularly bad. To remedy these conditions tjiy comir.lt tce Is asked to give special intention to this project. Western Oregon" waters and the Columbia river espec ially also cantc in for their share of consideration. Galv^oai has a new project which Is being urged upon the committer with great particularity by the rep resentatives In Congress from that section, being a plan of improvement of Galveston bay as a whole. Lock and dam projects were also urged for the Cumberland and Tennessee. "A very comfortable river and har bor bill will be passed at this ses sion." said Chairman Alexander, "but as to the amount it will carry la a matter which rests wholly with the committee .'which haB voted In favor of anual bills. The present bill will be drawn with that in view. "From 1865 to 1884.," said Chair man Alexander. Congress enacted an nual River and Harbor bills. Finally in 1882 President Arthur vetoed one of them which resultod in biennial bills. To obviate the business diffi culty of having a bill only once in two years the continuing contract policy was adopted in 1890. This gave activity to large projects an l was working with teneflclal results until in 1896 President Cleveland ve toed one of the bills. This resulted in' triennial bills and with one excep tion three years have intervened be- i tween their enactment. "The committee believed the day has now come to return to the origi nal and business method of an annual bill. The plan Is to appropriate each ; year only what the engineer corps can expend In that year. "To harness the waters with which this great nation has been , abundantly blessedV continued Mr. | Alexander, "and to make the rivers work for the benefit of our diversified activities Is one of the most Interest ing. problems which cbnJpolTTa^H^e^ committee In whose judgment I have great fsith and I- believe that a bill broad and comprehensive in charac ter will be the outcome of our de liberation."
