How often is there any inquiry made into the sanitary and hygienic status of the school? If it is a boarding school, who asks anything about the kitchen except as to the abundance of the food? Who asks about the plumb- ing, the ventilation, and the disposition of the sewerage? Who asks about the water supply? It seems almost beyond belief, in these days when health is concededly dependent upon proper sanitary and hygienic surroundings, that the head of a famly could for a minute lose sight of these matters and send his dear ones to- a place about which he knows nothing concern- ing the care taken to preserve the health of the residents, when reflection will assure him that the most sedulous care is necessary. The United States Health Bulletin has had occasion to examine into this subject quite extensively during the past few months, and if some of the facts that have come to our notice during these investigations were generally known, we believe that prospective patrons would be shocked at the unsanitary and disease-breeding conditions existing at some of the highest priced and most fashion- able schools. These investigations have been made without the instigation of the proprietors and generally without their knowledge, consetjuently they are unbiased and unpres judiced. Among the schools that met with the general ape proval of the experts investigating these matters for us, and which we have no hesitation in reeOmmending to our readers, is the Liberty Ladies College, Liberty, Missouri. We know nothing about the course of study at this school, for it is of no interest to- us, but if the same care is taken with the mental welfare of the pupils as is shown and plainly shown to be taken with the physical, we feel that it deserves the support of parents and the encour- agement of the public. Are the days of Dotheboyis Hall so long past that parents can trust their childreifs future to the care of strangers without the most searching investigations?
