At convocation yesterday morriThg.
Dr. Inoz C. Philbrlck spoke on tho
subject of ''School Hygiene," and pre
lentedTiorVrdeaB In h clear ami" con-r
else manner free from technicalities'
which mado it very easy for thof
audlenco to catch and hold her main
points.
As illustrating tho Importance of
this subject she spoke of tho second'
Internationa) mooting, in London
which was callod to consider this sub
ject. Many prominent architects, who
mako a specialty of school construc
tion, wore represented at tho meet
ing. It was agreed that school
hygleno la Tho most important depart
ment of preventive medicine.
Dr. Phi)brlck spoko especially of
the Importance of environment in
school hygiene. One very essential
thing in this connection is that Uio
school b6ard bo composed of men
olected because of their knowledge of
school conditions and their abftlty Jn
school matters. It is a 'deplorable
fact that in many cities the, school
boards are chosen, ontirely.fo political
reasons-and noffor efficiency; '-THe
Chicago board is a notable instance'
"of ""tho prostitution '6felly cation to
political 'onds. , , v . -
It is" Very important that export
architects bo employed iW, tho design
ing' of sphbol buildings." High' grdiin,
with plenty of light and plenty', of
room for playgroundsT shoufdT be
chosen f6r the location of schools:
The arrangement of schools in Lin
coln is inost faulty; especially the high
school wh'ich is a notable example of
what is worst in school design. The
lights should bo from the rear;; there,
should" bo a syBem of ventilation
which will not mako It-necessary to
open the windows, and the -stairs
should be constructed .'to mke theia
as easy as. 'possible. Two very fm
pdrtarit tilings are to have seatsj
which, aro adjustable and to' haVo
weekly disinfection, of tho building. .
Dr: PhllbricU advocated ,ono." .thing

that women should 'bo employed)' in
evefy edso, instead of mon ati Janitors
for-the schools; It is necessary" to
hav6 the schoolis kept clean and men
cannot do this as well as women from
the very nature of things. 1 1
' Dr. Philbrlck also advocated the
maintenance of medical Inspectors by.
tho city. Sho 'declared that the sys
tem of emergen6y inspection; which
is in ''operation jn Lincoln, is entfreiy
inadequate, aii'd should be replaced "hV
a system .of permanent and regular
Inspection. The teachers should not
