Hurty, secretary of the state board of health. About 75 per cent of the 847 consolidated schools in the state are new and were built under the school law of 1911, according to Dr. Hurty. "The public health officer is dis couraged in his work in trying to raise the public health standard,’’ said Dr. Hurty, "when he makes a medical inspection of the school children. The conditions 1 have found in some schools are hornable. A short time ago I visited a school where two children suffering from scarlet fever were allowed to mingle with the others. The vast majority of our small towns and cities have very poor facilities." Dr. Hurty said the child living in these localities is sewed up for the winter, since the belief prevails that the use of water will cause colds.

Os course five hundred would not come near to paying the entire cost of the celebration but as It is being given in connection with the Big Northern Indiana Fair, the expense to the Old Home Week committee will be small. Mr. Reppert agreeing to pay every cent of the expense in connection with the celebration. but the committee felt that the minor expenses such as the dec-, orating of the town, the employing of a number of girls to take chargo of the rgeistering, badges, etc., should be met by the Old Home Week committee. Mr. Densely and Mr. Lose stated that they would make a canvass of the business houses on Thursday and would not ask for over five dollars from each business house, except the soft drink parlors, ice cream parlors and restaurants who are expected to give a little more, in view of the extra business that they will enjoy during the week. Decatur Big Week Ohl Home Week in connection with the Northern Indiana Fair will truly be Decatur's big week. Btegining on Monday, August 9th. the visitors will begin to arrive and during that week the greatest crowd that has visited here will be the guests of Decatur. Hospitality will reign supreme and every citizen is requested to help make the big week a success. If you have any suggestions which would help make the week more enjoyable for the visitors, you are urged to get in touch with the committee.

The invitation has 1 been sent to representatives of the government, civic organizations and 1 prominent citizens interested in the welfare of the disabled ex-service men,! and replies indicate that those invited will attend. The vital necessity of this conference is shown by the decision of the I secretary of labor, who !:• also chairman of the federal board for vocational training, who declared that the amendment to the existing law which ' provides an increase in compensation to disabled soldiers is defective and does not provide the relief intended. The sitflation is summarized in the invitation sent out. In part it says: “We are agreed. I believe, that existing provisions for the care and re-1 habilitation of these men are far from | adequate.
