Adults,  however,  are  sometimes  difficult  to  move,  their  ideas  are 
more  or  less  fixed,  and  their  convictions  too  settled. 
But  get  hold  of  the  children. 
I  was  much  struck  by  seeing  in  the  schools  a  series  of  practical 
‘  Don’ts  ’  dealing  with  every-day  life,  which  was  introduced  by  His 
Grace  the  Archbishop.  Add  to  this  some  Sanitary  '  Don’ts  and  Do’s.’ 
Hammer  into  their  infantile  heads  the  simple  facts,  ‘  Don’t  have 
wrigglers  in  your  yard,’  ‘  Do  get  rid  of  Mosquitoes,’  until  they  become 
part  and  parcel  of  their  intelligence,  and  they  will  never  forget  the 
lessons  thus  learned. 
The  children  of  this  generation  are  the  adults  of  the  next,  and  if 
we  can  now  instil  into  their  minds,  at  its  most  receptive  stage  of 
growth,  the  great  truths  of  Sanitary  Science,  we  shall  have,  within  a 
few  years,  thousands  of  intelligent  adults,  who  will  appreciate  and  be 
fully  prepared  to  carry  out,  for  their  own  sakes,  the  necessary  measures 
to  make  Jamaica  what,  with  its  exquisite  climate  and  enormous 
natural  advantages,  it  ought  to  be,  a  Sanitary  Paradise.
