PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF
CHILDREN.
Miss Florence Chaffin, Public
Health Nurse or Lincoln County Re.1
Cross, is urging all parents to see that
tho children are prepared for school:
In a statement issued today she says:
Preventative measures cost less
than actual illness both in time and
monoy, and a groat doal of both is
bolug spent on tho (detection and cor
rection of physical defects, through
our system of school Inspection.
Few communities, howovor, hae
met tho problem of correcting these
defects. It is estimated that 75 per
cent of 1G.000.000 school children In
tho U. S: aro suffering from oim. or
moro physical dofocts. Most of those
aro remediable, and yet they are not
remeiujJ, principally because parents
do not recognize symptoms which to
a doctor are easily seen and may be
indicative of more serious trouble.
That is why the Public Health Sor
vlce urgos a physical and dental ex
amination beforo the oponiug of
school. The eyes should also be ex
amimli if thore is the loast indication
of trouble.
Do not let some Blight physical de
fect be a barrier to the healthy de
velopment of your cliildron Thoy

AIMS OF SCOUTING
There aro two fundamental aims of
scouting. Character Building and Cll
izouship Training.
Wo watch tho carpontor at work
an(i by cutting his lumber the proper
lengths and letting tho pieces to
gether ho is able to build a house that
will stand tho storms of tlmo and ba
a blessing to tho ones who live there
in. Character building has tho samo
fundamentals but a dlfforont method.
Scouting alms to build tho boy's char
acter through montal, physical and
moral dovclopmont.
Mental development comos throug'i
grouping an! I group nctlvltlos, learn
ing by doing, teaching scoutcraft as
sociation and correction, conclusions
and policies. Tho grouping is the most
important as tho boy will do well In
anything only as ho Is satlsfiod with
his playmatos and surroundings. The
gang of the olden times with no lead
er but a bully was a menace to any
community, but the organized gnng
with adult leadership will proYo a
blessing to any community. Scouting
allows the boy to pick his own group
and provides this leadership that la
so necessary. The phrase "Now John
don't you do that," has been thrown .
aside and the progran or learning ry ,
jiiolng has been put in its place. Con
stantly telling a boy to "rton t do una
and .'don't do that" makes him wonder
what there is that he can do. Scout
in is a "do" program and tho wonJ
don't la with held from the scout vo
cabulary as much as possible. The
third phase of mental development,
toaching scoutcraft is "too extensive
to say much about here. In other
parts of the paper and in each issue
wo will have somo of the work done
hi tlilis line oxplaindl Tho fourth
phnso, association mid correction
teach the boy to associate the things
loarnod inscouting with overy day
life and know the reasons for the
things, that to some people jftrabjU
mystery. Tho fifth phase, conol.uslpna
aiji policies, toach him that it is ne
cessary to draw conclusion in every
matter which demands a decision and
that must have certain policies tbnt
form a standard for his lifo.
Physical development comos thru
marching, gymnastics, swimmlirr,
games, hiking and -camping. March
ing should be a part of every regular
troop program and the marching on
hikes should be In order. It teachea
the boy to foJlo,w instructions and in
6ne of tho best exercises a person ran
take. A certain amount of .gymnas
tics is provided for which of course
tends to develop the body. Swimmlni?
is a requirement before the first clns
test can be passed. With tho now
swimming pool as safe as it is, every
scout ought to learn to swim as soon
as possible. Each scout meeting
shoulll havo a part of tho tlmo spent
on ganie3. Thore is nothing that de
velops the body any bottor and also
teaches tho boy to co-oporoto than a
well directed and lively game. Hiking

A bulletin just issued by the State
Entomologist says:
in the spring or summer the eggw

clusters on either the under or upper
side of tho leaf. Thoso clusters con
tain 400 to 500 oggs each. From one
to two weeks is required for the larva
to develop within tho egg, this do-
peiijling upon the clemency of the
weather. Upon hatching these tiny i
caterpillars find, themselves provided!
with an abundance of tender leaves'
upon which to feed anji grow, the
parent moth having placed the eg.; '
cluster noar to the extremity of a
twig or branch. Around these leaves
the young larvae at once begin to
weave their web of silk, which soon
becomes large and conspicuous as the
i-olony grows In strength. This wou
forms a protection for thorn and whon
tho food contained within has hcn
devoured the covering Is eitenjlod to
iuoludo fresh lenvos. Tho larvao In

ing tho skoloton untouched. As they
grow oldor tho web bocomos filled
with !dead loavos, grass, and old skins,
milking tho colony a very unsightly

shade tree.
When the caterpillars have attained
tholr full growth, which usually occu.
pios about thirty days from the lime
of hatching, thoy abandon tho tent

Tho best preventive or remedy
w,horo tho owner has only a few
trees, as for oxanjplo thoso bordering
