Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT REPEAT SCHOOL HEALTHCRUSADE Every School In County, Except Plains, Which Has Not Act ed, Undertakes Movement Americus and Sumter county school children received such far reaching benefits from the health crusade instituted last season by the American Red Cross chapter through Miss Ruth Clark, secretary of the or ganization, and Mrs. Olin Williams, home economcs agent for Sumter county, that it has again been unanim ously adopted by every city and ru ral school in the county, with the exception of the Plains school, which has not yet affiliated. At a recent meeting of the teach ers of the county held at the Tea Room, where were gathered in many instances an entire representation from the schools, a round table dis cussion was held at which it was de eded to make the health crusade a regular course of study in the sc! ;ols. Committees from the Council of Safety chapter. Daughters" of th ■ American Revolution, attended th session in a body, hearing the dis cussions and sponsoring, as on last year, the movement. The official membership of the organzation pledg ed its full support to every forward movement, and spoke for the entire membership. Beginning with Monday morning of this week, Miss Sarah Cobb, prin cipal of the Americus Grammar school and an enthusiastic supporter of the crusade, began the course of study in the city class rooms, and once each month the students of the school will be weighed. Proper foods for the growing child will be studied throughout the course, with merit cards distributed among the pupils for those who excel in the work. All materials necessary for the course have been received and dis tributed. Shiloh school, where the highest percentage of improperly fed children Was found last year, has continued the course throughout the summer months, with the result that the per centage has been greatly reduced and the children were in splendid physi cal shape for the beginning of the fall term. A committee of ladies will be ap pointed within the next few days to sponsor the weighing n the county schools, the duty of which will be to see that the school scales are care fully inspected, and the weights of the children registered. In some schools it is planned to have soup kitchens provided in order that the may have hot and stimulat ing nourishment in the recess hour to better equip them for the after noon work.
