Cities Ahead in School Health.
Chicago.—More than half of the chil
dren of the United States are attending
rural schools, and tbese rural children
are, on the average, less healthy than
the children of the cities, including all
the children of the slums, Rev. C. M.

city schools and 8? per cent of the
pupils in rural schools, he said.
“There is need for medical mission
aries who will go out into the country
and build up the health of the people,”
he said. _ _
