to press on to even the most depress

not triumphed. Many are taking
firmer hold on spiritual values. “The

thereof. Hearts still hunger for and

EDUCATIONAL NOTES
A communication has been received
from the State Board of Health stat
ing that the number of e&ses of com
municable diseases are on the ascend
ency and requesting that all counties
take all precautions possible to pre
vent epidemics. They request that
all cases of illness be watched very
closely. For the child’s own sake as
well as thrft of the public, no child
should be in school or on the streets
with a communicable disease.
Acording to the state Health Board
“Earl y detection, coupled with
prompt isolation, is one of the most
effective means of averting an epi
demic.” They also advise as follows:
“Occasionally where contagious dis
ease develops, a strong inclination
toward closing school arises. This
obsolete practice should be discontin
ued, for experience has demonstrat
ed that if schools are closed in the
face of a threatened epidemic and pu
pils not kept isolated upon their re
spective premises, the disease i s
practically certain to spread. Fur
thermore, upon reopening school,
there will, in a short time, be addi
tional cases develop and often a seri
ous epidemic follow. Where an epi
demic threatens, the local board of
health co-operating with school auth
orities will secure the most effective
control by arranging for daily exam
ination of the pupils, with prompt ex
clusion and isolation of all suspected
cases of disease. Co-operation be
tween patients, teachers, doctors and
officers is absolutely necessary to pre
vent epidemics.
Radio talks are being given over
station KFAB, Lincoln, at 2:46 every
Friday afternoon by members of the
Department of Public Instruction.
State Superintendent C. W. Taylor
spoke on Adult Immigration, on Fri
day, December 19th.
A special Eighth Grade Examina
tion will be held in Holt County on
January 30th.
The grades for the November
Teachers Examination have been re
ceived and grades reported to all
schools.
The Tuberculosis Seal Sale has
been very fine this season. All teach
ers who have not turned in seals and
money should do so at once.
The new school building in district
38 has been completed and teacher
and pupils will move in during the
holidays.
