Student's Health Is Challenge To All Rural Teachers The problem whiih is a t 11. t enge to eveiy school board and, to every teacher at the beginning' of the school year is. "How to' Keep the Pupils Well and Ready j to Work." j The school environment has a! groat deal to do with this situa-' tion. First, is the school building' in gooti condition? Is it clean and painted in light colors, easy for, the eyes? Do all the windows work? Is the heating as good a-', can be arranged? Are the seat.-' and tlesks on runners so that theyj can be adjusted in arranging the' lighting? Is the glass area in the windows in each room equal to one fifth of the floor space? Are the toilets fly proof? Is the school screened? Is the water safe to drink? Are there sanitaiy 'Handwashing- facilities? These are some of the problem; that have to do with an atractive and comfortable schoolroom whkh lends itself to the work and the health of the teacher and boy.--and girls. The State Department of Heal th has a plan called "Good House keeping" and another tine called "Check Your School." These .-ervt as guides to any rural school de siring to improve its environmen tal factors. Cleanliness and con trol of communicable disease go well together. Many of the daily practices in schools can prevent and control the spread of com municable disease while others tent! to spread infection. The goal to work for is to have as gotxl a school building and tquipment as is possible and then to improve every-day practices until, from a sanitary standpoint i they are the best that can be pro ' vided for the health and welfare i of all concerned.
