HEALTH SCHOOL
PUPILS MOST
IMPORTANT
The schools of Alaska which are
not making provision for dental ex- I
animation and medical inspection—in-1
eluding vision tests—of school chil- j
dren, and which have the facilities at !
hand for so doing, are not discharging
their obligations to the children of the
territory. The nation failed to stand
up physically under the stress of war.
^Approximately 80 per cent of the
young men who appeared before our
medical boards were physically unfit.
The schools have evidently not done
their duty in the past. Today in the
average one hundred pupils of the
public schools approximately the fol
lowing percentages of physical defects
will be found.

From this table it will be seen that
a great many school children have
some sort of physical defect which is
either interfering with their school
work or which will prevent their at
taining the highest degree of adult
physical efficiency. Many of the de
fects listed are slight and can be re
moved with a minimum amount of in
convenience to either the child or his
pareiris. Remedian defects in child
hood may result in more serious phys
ical disabilities in later life if neg
lected.
There may be those who think that
because Alaska contains no large cit
ies her children will, therefore, be as
a class superior in health. It is to be
hoped that this physical superiority
exists. However, before we jump to
the conclusion that such is the case it
would be well to apply the examina
tions, and thus be armed with real
facts. We have assumed in the past
f that the country-bred child would nat
urally be healthy. Investigations,
however, show that there are at least
one-third more of the ordinary defects
among children residing in the coun
try than are to be found in the larger
"cities. Dr. Wood of Columbia Univer
sity gives us the following compara
tive table:
Country. City.
Per Cent. Per Cent.
Teeth defects 49 33.5
Tonsils . 28.1 lfi-4
Eye defects . 21 13.4
Malnutrition 16 7.65
Unclean . 1-7 -8
Mental defects.8 .2
It is to be hoped that every school
board in communities where it is
possible to provide for a physical ex
amination will cause one to be made
during the present school year. Phy
sicians and dentists will without doubt
be pleased to co-operate in every way
and render service without compen
sation or with a minimum charge. It
is recommended that parents be given
an opportunity to choose the physi
cian or dentist who shall make the ex
amination.

Keeping friend Husband’s
Admiration §
SI g
|!|l Has it ever occurred to you that there is a close jljl
IS Yelationshio between admiration and laundry IS
S| service? IS
l|l| Admiration springs not alone from charm of : Is
IS manner. It has its origin equally in physical | |x
l|l| grace; it is awakened in men by that quality in § l|lj
|l|l woman called daintiness — that quality which is f IS
SI cr^n a combination of complexion, of carriage, of trim- | l|l|
IS J3— ness, of hands well kept. Friend Husband was 1 |j|l
;!•! 1 ' attracted by them in the beginning — and he ad- f SI
IS rJ’O mires them yet. I |l|l
1 JONES j | But nothing is so ruinous to daintiness as the toil 1 J |l|l I
IS of washday; the bending over washboards and | l|l|
•S the coarsening of hands that comes from contact ; |l|l
!|l| with heavy soap and wash water. More tiian all | IS
|:|: other household duties, the family washing is de- f SI
SI structive of personal charm. | IS
•v :
IS Yet this wastage of the daintiness that is yours r IS
:|:| is needless in this day and age. If you will but ; IS
IS say the word we will do the washing for you — f Si
IS do it economically and as thoroughly as you would
|l|l yourself. I |S
SI Try us. Let us relieve you of the noisome labor | SI
of washday. Just telephone and we will have 1 IS
