11,500 MUST BE RAISED fO FINANCE PUBLIC HEALTH WORK IN COUNTY ' Tbt County Federated Women's : clubs ate backing the sale of Christmas seals, the proceeds of which supplement the fund needed for health work in this community. The movement of Christmas seals sale was given new impetus by Dr. G. T. Palmer, president of the Illinois Tubercular association, who spoke before the Federated Woman's chib at Marengo on Saturday. Dr. Palmar gave a review of the history of health work in the fetate and nation that was startling. He recalled the time when with more than twenty per cent of the people suffering with tuberculosis, nothing at all was done to stop the ravages of this disease as it was the common belief that tuberculosis was an inevitable scourge, a visitation of Providence. Next came the hereditary idea when it was believed that the children of consumptives were doomed. That idea $rave way slowly,- very slowly, to the belief that the disease was infectious and many laws and crusades were put across (such as the antispitting crusade) which were a help in the work by the lift they gave to sanitary conditions. A Condition Not a Disease , ^Today, as the result of fifteen years of public health work, deaths by tuberculosis have decreased fifty per IN 1863 COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL A§SN. ORGANIZED 60 YEARS AGO In view of the coming county Sunday school convention to bfe held in A£arengo, Nov. 2, the following item from old files of the Woodstock Sentinel will be interesting: Aug. 23, 1863 Pursuant to the call of the committee, the friends of Sabbath schools in McHenry county met at the Presbyterian church in Woodstock and organized by calling Brother E. Going of McHenry to the chair and appointed Brother W. Hart, Jr., secretary. It was decided that the organization pe called the McHenry County Sabbath School association. The following officers were elected: President, Brother E. Going McHenry; vice president, Brother W. A. Smith, Woodstock; secretary, Brother J. H. Harwood, Crystal Lake; treasurer, Brother C. B. Durfee, Woodstock. In the afternoon of the same day Brother Elder jot Ohio, Brother Moody of Chicag?> and others spoke. They discussed the importance of more earnest work in the Sabbath school cause, the need of individual church members becoming teachers and urged teachers to devote themselves to their ivor£, pressing homethe truths of the gospel with hearts overflowing with love for the children. Semi-annual conventions were held until 1866, when the association was re-organized with a new constitution. Auction Sale! Chaa. Leonard, Auctioneer cent and people have learned that this;The following notice is found: dread thing is a CONDITION rather than a disease. Tubercular germs are everywhere, if, as Dr. Parlmer says, we are in such robust condition that we can "eat our bugs alive" we need not fear this foe. It is those of reduced resistance thru illness, poverty conditions, lack of good food, too frequent child birth, etc., who are in danger of falling victims to the disease. The Great Hope The great hope of comTjattng the disease lies in building up the general public health to that point where tuberculosis cannot gain a foothold. This is what the public health work aims to do thru the work of the community nurse. "Give the public health nurse absolute control and tuberculosis could be wiped out in two generations." The ptfbi ic health nurse has in fifteen years (since the time when the Federated Woman's clubs made the first tuberculosis surVey) raised the standard of the whole country in many ways. First among these is cleanliness of body, homes and surroundings. Our forefathers brought spinning wheels over in tlie Mayflower, but they had never heard of a bathtub. Public health nurses have made people believers in fresh air. We all remember the time when NIGHT air was supposed to be bad. When doors and windows were closed to it as something that would bring on the evil one. The health' nurse has done much to unbind the cords of superstition which bound us. We no longer, in intelligent communities, wear drugs around our necks or a rabbit's foot in our pockets. The public health nurse has called attention to the dangers from city slums. She has brought about better ventilation for schools as--^well as homes, she has or i& 'teachiri^ the separating of the well apo strong from the weak and ill. She is backing the movement for physical examinations of school children, building outdoor school rooms for the weak and above all""she is teaching that rest, fresh air and proper food are needed to build up strong bodies for oar children. Christmas Seals The Christmas seal has financed a ,i". large per cent of this great public health work. We have a public health nurse in our county. Do we ' back her as we should? y li order to supplement the finances aeeaed for the work in this county $1,500 must be raised by the sale of Christmas seals. The Woman's clubs of the county are'back of this Movement apd, &s they have done in the past, will again carry on. 15. L. Moody and Dr. Blackall, president of Chicago Sabbath School Union, were present. Twenty-two schools were represented and reported. $200.00 was raised to hire an agent to canvass the county and awaken deeper interest. New officers were: President, S. S. Gates; secretary, Rev. W. M. Haigh; treasurer, M. D; Hoy. The next annual convention of June, 1867, was held in the Woodstock Baptist church. The work of the Sunday school missionary, Chas. Dike of Crystal Lake, was discussed. He reported fifty-nine Sunday schools, with less than half of the children between the ages of. six and twenty-one enrolled. Only a small number of the schools were open during the winter. New officers: President, Dr. J. Woodworth, Marengo; secretary, E. F. Mc- Kinney, Marengo; treasurer, P. Dietz, Marengo.
