White County Progresses
The residents of White c^jBntj
are awakening to the LtcfuBjvat
visitors and tourists come of ore
often to places that are not. only
appealing to the eye due to lknd
scaping and preserving qfjti.it
natural beuuii.ee God bus supplfed
but they also seek sanitation so
there will be safety for their loved
ones from contagious diseases. And
tourists bring money. But aside
from the progressive people, of the
county know that ior their own
safety and their friends about them
they must control disease.
As soon as the Trustees ofCleve
land High School learned that
recent outbreak of small pox bad
nearby they immediately
and admirably did their duly
by passing a ruling that no child
be permitted in the school
he was immediately vacci¬
They then called on the
Board of Health tor help and
tlte resuit was that the very next
day of school saw u doctor on hand
and the pupils were marched by,
and everyone that had not been
vaccinated within the last week,
including teachers, had the simple
prick made on hi* arm and the
vaccinated completed. Go], Ed¬
wards, the County School Supt.,
,was there to see that it was done,
and to back up the teachers in
sending away children wfio might
have parents foolish enough to try
to prevent the vaccination,. Next
all of the colored children of the
town were vaccinated, for these
enlightened men know that small
pox is no respector ot persons, anil
if the servant gets it, the employee
is quite likely to follow. At the
colored school one aged one aged
old washer woman came and asked
for the vaccination, saying that
she thought any washer woman
should lie fixed so .-he would not
spread disease to the white folks.
Tit at is a case of real community
spirit of the highest type. She

she is "her brothers keeper ”

Not long ago typhoid fever and
small pox, bubonic plague, tuber¬
culosis were the scourge of the
human race, killing thousands dur¬
ing an epidemic. Science Concen¬
trated ott these diseases and learn
ed how to prevent them. Among
enlightened people small pox is
seldom heard of, and where whole
communities have been vaccinated
the disease disari pears, or becomes
so mild in form that few de.nhs
result. luoculotion against ty¬
phoid, the seteem 1 ng of homes
against flies, and sanitary bofiets
makes loses from this fever fewer,
and sanitary toilets also help con
tiol the spread ot hook worms.
When the state furnishes bractfcal
!y free substance with which to
prevent the spread of disease, and
if a person is not vaccinated it is
due to one of two things : He i
either ignorant, or lie is a foot In
many placee society demands .that
it be done to protect others, e\en
though a man prefers to gamble
with his own life ;tt stake. In no
city school can a child enter until
after being vaccinated, and the U.

and inoculations of all its person¬
