Show School Children Should Fight 'Em The schools must help in the campaign cam-paign against flies. Each of the various vari-ous grades should take a particular part of the work, says a writer in the International Harvester company bul letin. Let one grade canvass the town and enlist the groceries, meat shops, restaurants and householders in a movement to clean up alleys and back yards, provide for proper disposition of garbage and for sanitary outhouses. Another grade might make fly traps and sell them to the various grocers and butchers for use at their places of business and to the city authorities for use in public places. That was done successfully in Holland, Mich., last year. Still another grade may collect all the information which can be secured on the subject of flies. All grades may write compositions on "The Fly," "The Fly's Travels," "Confessions of a Fly," "Dangers of a Housefly," and similar subjects. Prizes may be offered of-fered for the best essay from each grade. |
