HEALTH H. H. HAMMER, M. D. School Physician MISS LULA WATTS N u rs v In selecting a school, parents always think of the location, climate, etc. They Want the health of their sons to be carefully safeguarded. Chatham has an excel- lent health record. The climate is temperate, Winters are only moderately cold, and there are not many days in which a boy cannot take some form of outdoor exercise. It would be dillicult to find a school with a better health record. This record is due largely to our climate, pure air and water, excellent sanitary provisions, reg- ular habits, Wholesome diet, and the careful oversight of the cadets. Cadets are urged to report immediately any indisposition to the school nurse or physician. The medical fee insures adequate nursing in minor sicknesses, usual remedies and medicines, and physician's services.

In case of serious illness parents will be notified immediately. was -tfrw 1-1 it if z
