Not only the cbildren,- but everyone should be prctectedby vaccination. rllbllowing each school inspection since the early spring a‘ ‘publica- tion was sent home to the parents of every unvaccinsxed child. Doint- ing out the dangers of eglect in this mutter and urging vaccination. it is hoped that parents will fully all- preclate what a menace and danger the unvaccinated population is to the ploiv-inoe and t lke stepli to re- duce and eliminate it.

ffhe Division issued a phamphlet on “Recommendations for the building, equipment and cleaning of Public Schools" which was given

the approve-l of theChief Superin- tendent of Education. This was

sent to all “ ‘ inspectors, trust- ees slld Women's institutes in

the province. The Department oi

Education does not issue anything

of this kind, and as so often the

nurses find that sums of money

have been expended on improve-

ments without these beingto the

best advantage, it was felt that

some definite information was

needed with/regard to theimprov-

ing of the condition of school bulld-

ings. it was noted that during the

summer in a number _of ‘districts

the schools _wer_e‘rel_npd_eiled or im-

proved according to the’ ‘suggestions

submitted in this phsmphlst.

lln snaking second impaction in the schools water coolers, individ- ual drinking 3 qupp, A. wast. __ basins, towels. equipment for ,.hot_ school lunch. etc., have made their up pearsnce following suggestions made by the nurse on her first vis- it. ‘There is however, flirt-her need for the changing of cross lighting to all one side lighting, for single ldiustable desks, and hyloplate blacikboards.

At the Convention of the Wo- men's Institutes a model of a one- room school was exhibited, which‘ demonstrated to a large number oi women the value of good school buildings. Too much cannot be said in praises of the splendid equipment given to the schools by the institutes. and the active inter- est taken by the women in im-"prov- ing schooi conditions.

Junior Red Crone

One of the most efcctive ways of teaching the Health game to school children is by means of the Junior (Rod Cross. Every child who becomes a. Junior member promises to try to keep the daily health rllies, nnd as this is a matter of Junior honor it is a great stimulus lu helping the children to remem- ber the rules, and "remembering" 4nd “doing" eventually are going

home where there is s new Junior member, keeping the health rules is known as “Red Crossing." When che small child comes to table for meals she is asked “Have you "Red Grossedi”, and st this she either proudly displays n clean pair of hands or runs oflf to wash them Jefore touching her food! Parents ind child training a much easier ask. and teachers any that never lefure has so much interest been sken in the care of the teetlnbsv- llg clean hands and finger nails ind in drinking milk., etc, than liter the classroom organizes s lunior Red Cross Brallch..1~‘resh lir and cleanliness committees are ‘ery active. and much valuable information on health is read and liscussed st the meetings. It is nost admirable the way in which he teacher-directors have trained .he children to conduct their meet- ngs in business-like and orderly nsnner. and to writs their club lusiness lletters. which experience undoubtedly will prove of value to hem later on in life. Our 50 branches and 666 memb- ll‘! are keenly entbuslasticnbout "endering service to tilose less for- unate. The 25 ct. nnnuui member- lhip fee which the children must warn or save themselves makes up he fund for crippled children. Dur ng the year “Marie's" treatment was completed and she returned to he Island after spending 2-2 months n hospital. Her hospital fees. which amounted to almost $900.00, were paid fronl the Junior Red child

108. ' ' ' " llsrly in the year the funds in the Junior account were “haunted but thanks to many friends who gave donations. and particularly w the Royal Edward Chapter of the L O. D. EL, for their generous gift of 9100.00 we were able to continue giving help to handicapped little ones. (The wonderful gift of $900 from the lRotary Club to our crip- pled childrens fund came in 1927 and should not be included in this report but we cannot resist. men- tioning it.) ‘ The children's interest does not swl! with tlle'gift oi their 25c fee to help others; but they have- given colucerts, bazaars. lililn e sales. have had schooLM wigs, Cent n Week Funds, sold uniol’ d Cross Christmas seals and calendars. and in many other ways’ halve helped to ruide money for the" Fund-Particul- arly at the Ohrisimss season do the Junior experience the joypf givlnz. IPheir gifts to the Dispensary, the Alias Esme. Claus Fund. the Orph- anages, and the dinners and toys packed and delivered to needy fam- ilies by the children themselves have wormed many hearts and brought happiness and good cheer to a. number of homes. In the of- fice Christmas boxes made up of gifts sent in froln- the branches were packed and sent to seven

An Essay competition wns held, —the essay being about the island. and ihs- prize for this was award- ed to a member in Victoria School. Several of the branches have elected Circulation Managers who carry on n brisk business selling ths monthly magazine “The Canad- ian Red Cross Junlor." By means of this instructive publication the (Eflildféll are kept in touch with the Juniors in the other provinces, nllil through the medium of a monthly “News Letter" issued here they know of the activities of the vari- ous Islnnd branches. Junior Red Cross interest is wider than this however, and an exchange of ideas in the form of portfolios and let- iers may be arranged with Juniors in almost any part oi‘ the world. Pornfolios have been received this year from Iowa, ldsho, Japan, and New ZeaJand, and excellent ones have been prepared by the island Juniors and sent to New Zenlnnd, Porto Rico, and lldaho.

‘Mr. Lloyd Shaw, in Slltlli-killgqlfi the Teachers at their annual con-- vention last spring, said "1 have already referred to the splendid work being done from the stand~ point of health habits and good citi- enshlp by the Junior Red Cross

Dental Clinics l One of the outstanding physical defects found among the school children is the condition of the teeth. iPariicularly in the country where tile children are usually many miles from a (lelltlst ths teeth are sndly neglected, it ll-l :1 recognized fact that (lccnyed ieeiil| are the focus of infection for mnxly' many bodily ills and that good moutll hygiene and sound ieeill are necessary for health. in order tu try out a system of giving dental serlvifte to districts some distance from a dentists‘ office, a group of five W0ll\8ll'3 institutes. namely -- Avonlen, Mnyfleld, Cynlbrla, Ster- ling and Pleasant Valley. co-opernt- ed with this Division lll putting on demonstration travelling dental clinics.
