FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION. 17 school teacher sneeze in the faces of the entire school. I saw a superintendent do it once. Such a thing may spread contagious diseases. If a teacher is always careful to use a handkerchief, and urges the children to keep handkerchiefs and to use them, she can cut down measles and whooping-cough tremendously. There is not the slightest doubt of that, I think that the power of the school to teach by example is simply enormous. There is no precept which carries weight unless impressed by example. You must have the concrete thing to show in order to make an impression on a young mind. There are so many, many efforts that have been made to teach by precept alone, without furnishing the concrete examples. We have them all about us. We all know how they have failed. You must have something to show the eye and let the hand feel. A little ingenuity, and a little exercise of this ingenuity, will furnish in the schoolroom, from the ordinary objects of daily use and contact, an enormous number of examples for sanitary instruction. Dr. William M. Jones : This is one of the most important subjects that will come before this meeting, if not the most important. These two talks are now open for discussion, and I hope that it will be full and free. Dr. G. M. Cooper, Raleigh: I would like to say, in the first place, that I was especially impressed with Professor Foust's discussion of the school problem. I think he has sounded the keynote. Dr. Foust said that we threw the burden on the school teacher. It is customary, I know, to throw the burden 011 them to as great an extent as we possibly can. I was struck with his remarks about the prohibition question—that the surface was not even scratched until the schools took it up in physiology and hygiene. I want to say, as a county health officer, that the best work done was done by the aid of the teachers. When I got a teacher thoroughly interested, I had no further trouble. In a community where there were contagious diseases, if the people did nothing to help us, I found that we did absolutely nothing. I made the remark the other day to the teachers that if the State Normal School and the Carolina Training School turned out teachers with an interest in the subjects of sanitation and hygiene, they could do 110 greater work. The Carolina Training School particularly is giving its students something beyond the ordinary, everyday interest we find in teachers, and I want to take this opportunity of commending that institution for its work in this direction. Dr. B. K. Hays, Oxford: I am new in this work, and I am here to learn. I was intensely interested in the talks that were made, but I want
