and an Open Air Room Heartily Recommended Dr John II Gallagher and Dr Miinnix have handed their report on school inspection for the months of October No vember and December to the board of health One of the chief recommendations of the report is the appointment of a schoM nurse The needs of ventilation and the beneficial results of having the eyes prop erly caret for are also emphasized An open air school room is also suggested The recommendations relative to a school nurse point to the fact that minor ail ments of the skin and eyes xvould be more liable to discovery under the close atten tion she xvould be able to give She could also give instruction in the treatment of simple ailments and along general simple hygienic lines Mention is made of the tact that many pupils have been provided ith glasses free of charge during the past year The trouble xvith many of the chil dren's eyes was first known as the result of the school examination and many of the cases are greatly improved by treat ment and the adoption of glasses The relief of eye strain oftenjias the result ofdoing away with listlessuess Adenoid growths and enlarged tonsils have been at tended to in a number of cases The ef fects of this treatment have been most marked and many pupils who before xvere backward have become among the bright est in the classes ft is declared to be cheaper to remove the adenoids than to give a child the extra instruction xvhichxvould otherxvise be necessary i Emphasis is laid in the report of the imr portance of examining the physical condi tion of children who apply for xvork cer tificates It is pointed out that if a child is in poor physical condition when he leaves school to go to xvork he far behind those xvho rpmain in school and have the increased advantage of healthy bodies The report advises that at least one open air school room should be es fablished in the city where those consti tutionally xveak or predisposed toward lung trouble might have

grammar school went on a sleigh ride to Suffield Ct yesterday afternoon Spread of Disease Charged to Lack Care on I'art of' Parents A number of cases of measles have ap peared among the children of the toxvn during the past xveek or txvo and several of the doctors of the toxvn feel that the spread of the is due to a lack of care on the part of the parents in 'keeping their children isolated from others during the course of the illness and convalescence The disease is not ordinarily a dangerous i one and does not cause alarm in any such degree as did the appearance of the cases of scarlet fever a short time ago and the result is that insufficient is taken to prevent further cases the disease is not one to be feared ordinarily the health authorities are unwilling to let it get a start in the schools and on this ac count they xvish to bring to the attention of the parents the fact that the only xvayo insure safety is to keep the children xvho are ill axvay from others until they lire xvell over the disease and no signs of its effects remain umigation in the schoolrooms cannot be successfully em ployed to check the spread of measles as in the case of scarlet fever so that the entire reliance has to be placed on the guarding of the eases themselves There have been cases of the disease in the Merrick schools and a large number are reported to have caught the disease xvho attend the school in Mittineague: The disease cannot be definitely traced to these sources but as the school makes the largest gathering place for the children it is felt that the greatest care should be exercised there The teachers are xvarned to keep a flmrp xvatch for the appearance of any sign of the disease in one of the children and to insist that the pupil be taken out of school immediately and kept out until it' has either been proved that the trouble is not measles or until the child has entirely gotten over its effects A bad feature in connection xvith the spread of the disease is that most of the cases have not been reported to Health Agent Alorrill He said yesterday that he had not heard of any need for protection against measles and that the Mittineague cases had not come to his knoxvledge at all Alr AIorrilJ is inclined to feel that such a state of affairs is uniardonable The resourcefulness of the local growers of calabash gourds for pipes Oscar Kaep pel and Edxvard Alann has produced a nexx' invention in the manufacture of the pipe bowls This consists in the forming of a natural ferrule xvhere the pipe stem is inserted to take the place of the silver or ivory ferrule that is used on all pipes of this sort A successful process for doing this consists in binding the part of the pipe xvhieh is to form the stem xvhile it is growing xx ith strong paper pasted in the shape desired for the ferrule tlie gourd is cut from the plant and the paper is removed the boxvl thus pre sents a natural ferrule ready for the in sertion of the a clouded am ber stem and tlie natural color of the gourd instead of the ordinary metal fer rule it is thought that a pipe of distinctive and handsome appearance can be pro duced The series of revival meetings which have been conducted at the Alerrick Aleth odist church during the past xveek have proved most successful The meeting on Thursday night xvas most largely attend ed the meeting being conducted by Rex George 11
