TO TEACH HEALTH

AS WELL AS CULTURE

TIMES' Bl'REAl'f AT STATE CArTAt Indianapolis, rnd.. June 15. Within the next few weeks teachers for all of the public schools in the state will have been selected. Township and city and town school trustees are making selections now. The state board of health, after a study of disease and death statistics concerning public schools, extending over several years has issued a susrcstion to school authorities ag-alr.st the employment of teachers who are not thoroughly weil physlclally. on the theory that tha teacher ' should teach and exemplify health as well as culture and that a teacher who is constantly "out of sorts' because of 11 health cannot teach children properly and cannot render value received for the money paid her by the state. The sugge?lon Is conalned In a formal statement Issued by th hoard and is as follows: "The teaching of children should not b done by sick or diseased teachers School work Kurcly suffers if the teacher Is not strong and healthy. If a teacher be nervous or irritable, he or she will do harm to the dispositions of the children. In Indiana the sick rate and .thet death rate Is higher among teachers than In general life. This Is almost certainly because there are so many insanitary school houses. Tha life ofthe teacher at home is the same as in general life. Only at home due any ( difference appear. "The vupils In unsanitary school houses are held back and made sick. Their health : is impaired and even death is caused. Ttvt-lve. hundred school children died in .Indiaua- during the school term in 1910. The sickness causing their'' death was forced upon them.' The- bad aid insufficient light, over or under- heating, seats which are not adjusted to the size of the human bodies which they contain, horrible outthouses, bad water, etc., do their deadly work. All of these conditions are imposed -in the name of economy,

ana nence wouia ds taugnaDie n so much health efficiency and life were not wasted. The same unsanitary conditions 'knock' the teachers, harder than do the pupils, because they are longer exposed to them, and, in addition, bear a nervous strain of responsibility. "By spring most teachers show the strain. That is, they have lost health. They usually have lost color and weight; they sleep poorly; they have little appetite, and perhaps a slight cough, (consumption) has appeared. In. general life one death in 8.7 Is from consumption, and among teachers it is one in six. The invalidism and death which teachers endure on account of unsanitary school houses should cause them to take action and emand sanitary BChool houses should cause them to take action and demand sanitary school houses. ; -But teachers are like the most of us not until they discover that the awful disease has attacked thom do they realize that their opporunlty ha heen lost. "All teachers should pass a physical examinations as well as one Intended to discover mental and educational filtnoss. They should have a good heart, good lungs, good teeth, good eyes, a

straight spine, good digestion, straight body, good hearing, normal scapulae, a good speaking voice, good nerves, etc. A teacher with chronic cough, catarrh, anaemia, bronchitis, sore or weak eyes, chronic rheumatism, dyspepsia, chronls constipation, dyspepsia, neurasthenia, any skin disease, etc., should never a employed to teach children. A sickly teacher is sure to be more or less listloss or irritable and will be unable to keep the school work up to the standard. "Teachers should eempllfy and teach health as well as teach and eempllfy culture. Ill health is usually the result of wrong living, and not to know how to live rightly is a terrible indictment of a teacher."

They went to his home to question him and whilo there noticed that the young fellows mother, Helena, was wearing a new pair of shoes.

S STOPPED

Chief of Police Martin last night placed a ban on all kinds of wheel

games and gambling at the grounds of

a carnival company who have been showing here the past week in the vacant property near the corner of Tenth avenue and Adams street. The managers of the games of chance have been doing a land office business the past few days and several foreigners who have reported that they have been short changed at the police department. Captain Gus Xewman, acting under orders from Chief Martin, today instructed the managers that all forms of gambling would have to cease or their arrests would follow. Several fights were reported at the carnival grounds last night and arrests followed.

POLICE FIND SUSPECTS - IN ROBBERY CASES

(Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., June IB. The Gary and Southern Traction company

have completed the fencing in of their right of way from Gary to the corporate limits of this city by a substantial wire enclosure the entire distance

; and the next thing will ba the laying 'of steel on the grade. I Many Crown Point citizens are becoming peeved at the seemingly 1 dilatory attitude of promoter Seaman in delaying the road construction, and I it is said that the city council to be 'elected may adopt a belligerent atti

tude toward the Seaman interests if the work of constructing ' the line Is further delayedOne report nan it that several Crown Point capitalists are Interested in the idea of building an lnterurban road from Crown Point to Gary and are

pulling every .wire possible to gpt access to the valuable right of way and franchise granted to Mr. Seaman by Lake County citizens. Another report has it that Mr. Seaman will soon comj mence the laying of track in Crown I Point and will detail a force of men on 1 the work within the next two weeks. In an event Cron Point citlen. are considerably wrought up over the delay and it would not be at all surprising to see a hornet's nest of trouble confronting Mr. Seamen if the "bus sign" isn't hung along every fence ppst along the right of way within the next ! month.

Ir. J. H. Long, president of the Lake County Iental Society who has just retuined from the festivities attending class reunions of the dental school of Northwestern University will call a meeting of the society In the near future for the purpose of Interesting the Gary board of health in the adoption of a plan for the examination and free clinic of the teeth of every pupil in th Gary schools. The plan has been adopted by the Chicago Board of Education and is meeting with great results. Offices have been established in a number of the principal schools in Chicago, and many of the Chicago dentists are donating, a half day of their services weekly for the purpose of looking afte.r the teeth, of pupils who are unabl? to go to a competent dentist. The plan-in Gary worked along the same lines as that in Chicago is through the local board of health and

, the school board to cause the examination of the teeth of every pupil in the Gary schools. If the city will fit up an office and furnish the material the Gary dentals will donate their services several afternoon per week to tak?

care of the pupils' teeth. "The . proposition was discussed at

cur clinics in Chicago several days ago and their is now a wide spread move

ment on the part of the dental fraternity all throughout the county by the. health boards, to cause a free eamlnation of school children's teeth and a free clinic," said Dr. Long today. "You have no idea how much sickness is caused through the Improper

,care of the children's teeth. Many par-

jents never think that their children's j teeth need repairing until they get the

tooth ache or until hey are decayed

beyond repair. The movement is not one to advertise the local dentists but 'just for thW benefit of the school chil-

idren who are unable to pay the exIpense of a competent dentist to put j their teeth In shape. The expense is a

small Item to the city. The board of

health wiir make the eamlnation compulsory. If the parents of the chil

dren are able to pay they may go to

any dentist they desire. If not free

clinics will be held on certain days

each week, the dentists donating their

services free and the city defraying the

.epense for material."
