PAGE EIGHT SUB-PRIVILEGED CHILDREN * State Board of Health Bulletin. It is axiomatic that the greatest pos sible asset of any nation, any state or any community^. its citissenshiit- No All other assets can oaly bd uHßeed by the, individual, and the degree to-which they are utiliaed if in direct proportion to the capabilities of the citizenship. It therefore follows, as truly as night follows day that the nation, me state or the community which excels in progress does so by first building up the standard, the morals and the education of its, children. In the main, people will have exactly what they want, and when the leaders of the people educate the jieop> to want certain things they will have those things. Practically speaking, then, the education and development of the children is really the only thing which needs vitally eonecrn any govern ment. . . With that done the eonnug citizenship will naturally and most certainly ac complish the iden’« they lmve been taught. The trouble with most of us is that we get the cart before the horse and do not start real prog res* where progress really starts.

Those children whose moral environment is Bnd should be given an insight into, and an inspira tion, to attain the higher and better things of" life. Those children who have physical defects which handicap en deavor should, in sofujr as possible, have those physical defecth corrected. Those ehildren whose life blood does not. run red ''because of insufficient or improper food should have that deficiency sup plied. TW sub-privileged child must not be forpitten nor allowed to drag aloug be hind. Parents have no greater duty to their offspring than the State has for itjKehildren-—indeed, selfishy speaking, j they have not nearly so much. The life of the parent is self-limited' and the ■aehievement of the child can influence but little the parent, while the tuture life of the State deiVehds entirely on its children. The parerfC. ’because of parental love, gives his life for. liis child, asking ■ nothing in return, while tl)e State'must I depend for its very existence upon the . children it nurtures today. That is why the State must step in and do for tts ehildren what the individual parent may i be unable,' or, because of ignorance, un f willing to do. The parent’sextremityis I the State’s opportunity. If the Sthte 'provides schools and compels internancc j thereat, then by all right and justice she ! must remove the handicap of the sub privilege*! child. To compel a child to go . to school “whose physical condition 8n such that it cannot keep abreast of its fellows is not only brutally cruel to that child and is wasting State’s money, but may actually -so embitter that child against society that a criminal is de veloped instead of a helpful citixen. In so far as parents have knowledge they should be responsible for the cor rection of these defects or under-privi- | ieged children, but where they don t know, or where they won't or can't, then the State must. \ Where the parents do all they know or ipd—they think should .be done, then the State,' because of its superior obli gations and enlightenment, should fol low up and inspect and check up. By this and. by this alone will the sub provileged child be given an equal show or ah honestly square deal. By this and ] j by this alone w'dl the State guarantee ! nV itself future progress, and, indeed, its very existence.——Southern Medicine and Surgery.

Deafness is an affliction distressingly common. Sometimes it exists to such a slight degree as to be only occasionally embarrassing, Again, there may lie a total disability. Most people carry with them, more or less consciously present, a fear of losing or having impaired this important sens*-. Here arc fivte simple roles, the ob servance of which will do much to pre vent deafness. ' . First, don't 'try to remove enrvrax with auyriupg but a soft cloth. ’I lie use for this iiUr|HiS<' of pins. tooUipicks, matches, or any otiier hai-d or Shah' in strument is dangerous. Second, tem-h children not to. put any thing into i heir ears. Button, peas, beuns. and other small objects nave sometimes caused deafness. Tbiid. if an-insect becomes lodged in the enrs. try flooding it out with warm sterile water. If this fai's. seek medical • advice. l>o not try to pick-it out. [ Fourth, if tonsils become enlarged or ! if signs of adenoids ' became apparent, ■ such -as mouth ' breathiug, have an | examination by a eumiietent physician, B and if it is advised have such diseased 5 tissue removed promptly. The neglect of i diseased tonsils and adenoids In children B is probably the greatest contributing * factor of deafness development iu adull E life. , 1 S Fifth, if earache devekqts. or any de ls gree of deafness appears. consult a = physician at once. To avoid complica- E tions. ear infections should be treated 5 properly in the early stages. Expert 5 treatment when deafness first develops = offers the only hoi>e of cure.

Ry the action of the Jaws, the wax gradually works its way forward 'and droiis into the outer shell of the ear. - If it appears desirable to detinue the canal, the best way is to. insert a soft wet ditth, twisted to a point. "Earache is regarded by some parents as one of the common disorders of child hood. and Nature is often allowed to lake her course, with 4i>ossibly the ap plication of heat or* warmed sweet dil Itl topped into the ear in an effort to lessen the jiaiu. It is far wiser to call a physician as soon ns tiny earache dey I velops. Pain in! the ear. with or without | fever, means an infection, and infection I of these delicate structures is serious. If a physician is called and. he finds, the ear drum bulging, he will make a tiny hole and allow thf fluid causing the pressure to escaiie. If tVis is not done, oftentimes the ear drum will nurture of itself. (Which results in a tearing of this delicate and later in some cases in permanent deafness. If is not lanced and the drum does hot rup ture of itself, the infected fluid may be forced into the thin, .bony structure back , of the ear. resulting in the dreaded con ' dition known as mastoiditis- In such • ca*w a very delieate and dangerous I operation is usually necessary to pre ' vent the infection from reaching the brain. "We have said N enough to indicate that it is not safe to let car infections take their course, or attempt to treut them with simple home remedies if medical help is available. A word should now be said as to how such infections , may be, prevented. “From the ear ,there extends down into the throat, back of the palate, a small us the custnefnan tube. ITS purpose Is to allow air to enter the middle enr, so that the air pressure on the two sides of the drum will be the saiiip. . . r \ \ "So long as the tonsils and the lining of the threat around the eftstachian tubes are in a healthy condition, the middle ear is nrtt likely tt> become tn .fected. But if the tonsils become dis eased and if adenoids grow in the arched space back of they nose and mouth, and particularly if they grow around the opening of the eustaehian tube, then in fection is litible to pass up the tube, especially when the individual ljas a cold involving the nos*- or throat. Middle ear • infection may thus follow au attack of 1 m< * a>i kt i > scarlet fever, or other disease."
