Dr. Hamrin also visited and • inspected the grade' and high school here during the afternoon. On March 16 a similar meeting will be held at Crystal Lake,, where the McHenry teachers will attend.

In conclusion, the doctor said that a high school should follow up its students and check results to determine if its program was a success ~or should be revised. To do this he stated that a student's adult life should be investigated and his . success determined. Twenty-five teachers from the Crystal Lake High School were present with all of the teachers of the McHenry High School and nearly all of the gratje school teachers present as well, / •' . . * JL-.' ..

Alfalfa--Red Glover--Sweet Clover We have a carload of grass seed purchased, including Alfalfa, Red Clover, Sweet Clover, Alsike Clover, Timothy and Soy Beans. This seed is all 99.5% purity pr better. Beware of seed of an inferior quality. Several mail order houses are selling seed less than the whoesale market. Why! Because the seed is contaminated with quack gra^, mustard seed, Canada thistles, screenings and other noxious weeds and as a result no reliable Seed House will purchase this poor quality seed. Theii there is nothing left to do ohly peddle this noxious seed direct to the farmer at a greatly reduced1 price. Most farmers know that if they purchase this inferior seed, they are not eligible to any benefits from the Government Conservation program. Again we say, / 'beware of seed quoted at bargain pricey'* High quality pure seed is always the cheapest seed to buy. r'i.

Please, can anybody join In? f NURSES AND HEALTH It seems more than a happy coincidence that substantial improvement in prevailing health conditions has takan place in Illinois almost simultaneously with a considerable expansion of local public health nursing services. As measured by such sensitive indices as the infant death rate and mortality from diphtheria, typhoid fever and tuberculosis, health was distinctly better in down-State Illinois during 1937 than in any previous year. During 1937, a public health nursing service was established in each of fifteen different counties, financed jointly by local agencies and the State Department of Public Health. In addition to this, a public health nursing service was set up by the State Department of Public Health in each of the eight counties which suffered severly from the flood waters of the Ohio River early in 1937. Nurses were provided by the State Department of Public Health also to strengthen the public health service in six municipalities and to conduct an extensive program of maternity hygiene in two counties. It is believed that the work of these nurses had a good deal to do with the decline in preventable diseases. Diphtheria was responsible for only 64 deaths in the down-State area, a decline of about 20 per cent from the 79 fatalities in the year 1936, the lowest up to that time. Deaths from typhoid fever were down to 51. against 62 in 1996, an all time low. Tuberculosis responsible for 1,949 deaths, also a new low. Infant mortality was at the-rate of 47.5 deaths per 1,000 births for the first eleven months compared with a previous low of 50.0 for any year. That the work of the public health nurses has been important in producing these improvements can sgarcelf be doubted. ~~ Red Top Potts -- Red Rraad Fence f A carload of Red Top Steel Posts and Red Brand Keystone Fence ^ the way.
