HEALTH WORK Carbon district is fortunate in being able to secure for the medical examination of the school children the company physicians of the various coal camps. One medical examination per year is given to each pupil in the district under the personal direction of these skillful physicians. The teachers and principals do Hie preliminary work for the examination. Then the doctor is called in and gives each child a thorough examination at the nominal cost of twelve and a half cents per capita. The findings of these examinations are recorded and where necessary statements are sent home to parents advising them of the physical condition of the children and recommending medical attention. The services of these physicians in our district are more effective than the services of a district nurse would be because the employes of the various fuel companies pay a regular monthly hospital fee which entitles the members of their families to medical attention. The physicians come in personal touch with children oftener in this way than a school nurBe could reach them. Then, too, they have his services, whereas the nurse could only recommend. In December, 1924, the board of education authorized the supwith the erintendent and principals of the district to state board of health in a goiter survey of the state. The compiled report of Dr. J. Wallace, who conducted the survey, showed that there were 56.3 per cent of the pupils in the district who showed a positive tendency to goiter. Therefore, upon the suggestions of Dr. Wallace and recommendation of Dr. A. W. Dowd, physician and board member, the regular weekly iodine treatment was given to the school children during the. last five months of co-oper- school. In Price the city health nurse has ed with the phy- sicians and the school officials in our health program. The nurse has come into the school as often as possible and has helped in eliminating pupils that were afflicted with infectious diseases. She has rendered reports of her work in the schools to the super- intendent. - to buy a washer one who belonged to the old Lyceum will be eure to preserve a vivid recollection of the fathering! of that famous body, and ANT . BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENT Since 1919-2- 0 we have had an almost continuous building gram. During this period there have been erected eighty-thre- e new schoolrooms as follows : pro- Besides the above building program heating plants were put in Glen, Standardville, Wellington and Lower Sunnyside, displacing stoves and other inadequate heating apparatus. Our building program this year consists of six classrooms and an auditorium at Sunnyside to replace the old structure which burned during the past year, a four-rooaddition to the Harding building at Price to. deviate the overcrowded condition in the Harding and Price Central schools and a new building at Columbia consisting of rive classrooms and an assembly room. All of the buildings that have been completed and those now under construction are modern, convenient and architecturally beautiful. In fact they are a credit to our district From present indications it appears that our building program is not yet at an end, for the patrons in Clarks Valley are asking for a building for next year, as are also the patrons and company officials at Gibson, the new camp on Gordon Creek. Then, too, there is a congested condition at Hie high school which will necessitate additional room in 1926-2- at Spring m 7, FINANCIAL It is believed by many people that because of the great number of coal mines and railroad mileage in Carbon county that this is a wealthy school district. This probably would be true were it not for the fact that the major portion of Carbons wealth is railroad and coal property wealth. People outside our county fail to realize that a great percentage of our people are transients and are not owners of real estate, hence pay very little in taxes. In 1919 the assessed valuation of Carbon county was as compared with $26,989,120.00 or about 27i per cent increase, whereas the school population for the same period has increased about 54 per cent or more than twice as fast as the assessed valuation. This great increase in school population has consequently forced us into that tremendeous building program mentioned elsewhere in this report. In view of the fact that the consolidated school district board inherited considerable bonded indebtedness it has been impossible to finance ahead far enough to take care of our building program without continuing to bond. The total bonded indebtedness of Carbon County School district at the present time is $854,000.00 The annual interest on these bonds is $42,800.00, while the sinking fund required by law to be set aside to retire these bonds is $18,830.00, making a total of $61,630.00 to be raised annually by the county to care for our bonded indebtedness. For the school year 1919-2-0 the county tax levy for school purposes was six mills and for 1924-2- 5 it was eight and a half mills, an increase of two and a half mills or 41 2--3 per cent This seems justifiable in view of the increase of school population and increased bonded indebtedness. The new school budget law will in all probability cause us to follow a little more closely our budget than heretofore and will probably prevent overdraft and deficits, but it remains to be seen whether or not it will reduce the school levy. I know that in the past you have handled very judiciously the public funds with which you were intrusted and I know, too, that you will continue this practice. The clerk is required by the new law to prepare a monthly report setting forth the financial condition of each of the various appropriations. I recommend, therefore, that we as public officials, scrutinize this report carefully and guard against any overdraft in any account and possible deficit in the future. In conclusion permit me to express my appreciation for your support and for the confidence you have shown me. I hope that our relations will continue to be pleasant and amicable in the future as they have been in the past. Respectfully submitted, D. C. WOODWARD, Jr., Superintendent. $22,-359,000.- 00 above all, of the genial presiding officer. That dignitary. Ur.

Usually our meetings were so well attended aa to leave lltUe time for any aave the serious objects for which the Lyceum existed. So It waa an extraordinary occasion when, one night, a driving storm kept away so many of the faithful that the customary quorum failed to show up, That the dosen present, however, must have embraced some pretty good material, I feel sure, for as I look back, I remember that they Included a future United States senator, two or three able lawyers, one or two future successful newspaper and literary men, and one man who has since held half a doien ' i prominent positions In his state. Naturally, with such a gathering, even a no quorum meeting couldn't prove tame. And though the regular program waa out of the question a discussion of Shakespeare's Intention concerning the character of Iago was to have been In order it' waa unanimously voted to devote the evening to story telling. whose After various subjects don't matter, here some one turned to Mr. Spencer with a request for one of his famous tales. A look of serious Intentness deepened the lines In the old mans face as he glanced around to see If the rest ef us were equally anxious for a story from him. lie began: "This la the one ghost story," said he, "which Is duly authenticated and certified to by the records of a court. I heard my father tell It, and he beard It direct from his father, who was alive when the Incidents happened and the case was tried. In those days the county of Talbot embraced the entire peninsular part of Maryland, and although the legal matters took place In Easton, the Osborna lived In that part of the state which now forms the county of Kent "Mr. Osborn was a highly respected Englishman, who had come to this country with his five boys, for the purpose of bettering his fortunes. The sons had grown up, and by their united efforts the family had become large land owners. Ills extensive estate waa Glenham and divided Into two part Willow Crest, which lay some six miles apart Both were excellent properties In colonial days, but Glenham was the more valuable of the two. Mr. Osborn died, and Peter, the eldest son, attempted In the county court to establish a verbal will by which Glenham was to be left to him, and Willow Crest to be divided among the other aons. The will was a very unfair one, as we regard things today, but under the English Idea of primogeniture, which was firmly fixed In the peoples minds, such an arrangement was not unusual In those days. So, though In a mild way Peter's brothers resisted his efforts to establish the will, no great bitterness was shown on either side, and the Indications were that Peter would win his case and secure possession of Glenham. But the case was postponed from week to week until, finally, Peter came to court one Tuesday morning with a look of consternation on his face, avowing his purpose of withdrawing from the effort to establish the will. When court opened, he said he was there with some witnesses to prove a most extraordinary Incident, and that he desired to withdraw the noncupltane will which he had' attempted to set up, and to ask Ids father's estate be equally divided among the children. Then he told the following remarkable story, and established the truth of It by witnesses whnh he had brought 7 minutes as carefully as dainty garments how it hand done by though even on g eliminates collars, cuffs and wristbands.
