i^oarding Places for Teachers
Should Be Chosen with
Great Care
October is the month in which most
.U the six months, or short term,
hoois open for the winter’s work,
nese schools are nearly all small
>ne, two or three teacher schools. As
Iways, the teachers have to arrange
tY board and lodging in the com
munity. The accommodations are of-
cn poor and the living quarters
.Qwded. The large schools in the
ural districts now have the “teach-
orage,” a kind of club boarding house
near the school building and in which
c provided comfortable living ar-
a'lgements. But the teacher who has
^ “board out” in the home to which
! e is assigned often has a rather
•hard winter.” One such teacher
writing to the State Board of Health
recently described a situation which
we hope is not too common in Moore
ounty. In the interest of all such
teachers and hoping that by calling
attention to the risks involved for all
«.‘f them, it may result in lessening
hose risks. Here is a quotation from
the teacher’s letter to the Board of
Health:
“I am a public school teacher and
I each in this rural community. I
board where the water supply is
drawn from a well or spring and nat
urally the drinking water is kept in
an open bucket, using the public dip
per. Two years ago I boarded at
a home where the water was carried
Irom a spring altogether, kept in an
open bucket and a dipper was used.
That year 1 used my own drinking
cup, but had to “dip” into the bucket
used by everybody else, and so do not
suppose I was very safe.”
“The chief problem which concerns
me at present is this: In this home a
relative recently came to work and
live in the family. He came direct
from a hospital where he had been
treated for a considerable time for
‘blood trouble.’ All the family includ
ing the relation used the same dishes,
drinking cup, etc. Am I safe?”
This teacher is probably safer than
many others. Because if the patient
had been discharged after prolonged
treatment for syphilis, from a reput
able hospital casual contact with him
would not be dangerous as with the
concealed untreated case.
It is now realized that the ordinary
contact through use of the same dishes
and the common drinking cup is not as
dangerous as at one time supposed.
It is known, however, that the com
mon cup is filthy and that it can carry
disease germs from a filthy diseased
person’s mouth to a susceptible in
dividual, and therefore should not be
tolerated.
Contact with persons suffering with
the venereal diseases in active stages
is never safe. Drinking water from an
exposed spring can never be consid
ered permanently safe.
School committeemen should consid
er the teacher’s health as well as the
salary. A teacher pleasantly situated
in a safe and comfortable boarding
place will reflect the fact in her work.

this. Judgment in this case was sus
pended upon payment of the cost and
the defendant was required to give
$100 bond to show good behavior.

was the home of his ancestry, he has
in front of the big bams a pile of
corn that he expects will husk out
six or seven hundred bushels one of

place, and it is a good quality of:
grain. He also has other things that i
tell of the power of that country to :
make farm crops, but he say regret- |
fully that farming is not a very great i
incentive to a man to devote much j
time to it at the present. Prices do |
not justify the work. But he thinks |
the day is ahead where farming will |
be more profitable in the Hemp sec
tion as industry gets a stronger foot
ing up that way, and then the farmer
will profit by finding a place for his
beys and girls to be employed, and by
also finding a market at the same
places.

An interesting experiment started
eight years ago, is working out to an
excellent success up in the Hemp sec
tion, where an apple orchard of 43
acres has made a healthy growth,
and is now in condition if the season
is favorable in the spring to give a
big crop of good apples. Two years
ago it made its first small crop, with
good results, proving its value, and
the quality of its fruit. This year a
few apples got by, but the frosts
killed the liberal set of blossoms and
the quantity was limited. But the
trees are healthy and well grown,
and with the excellent care they have
had, the outlook is bright.
The orchard is on the J. M. Brown
farm, near Tory Hill, out from Hemp
on the Carthage road. It was plant
ed by a group of men who organized
a company to test out the hill coun
try for apples, and the Brown farm
was selected as a likely location. For
a time the orchard was cared for by
the company, and then the hard luck
that attended the peach crop led the
stockholders to lose interest and Mr.
Brown finally took the thing into his
own hands, and secured the orchard
individually. He has cared for it, and
has it now in fine condition for the
winter, and with confidence that next
fall will reward him for his outlay and
patience.
While Madison Brown is a mer-
chant in Hemp he is also a farmer,
owning several hundred acres of sub
stantial land in the hilly region, and
