OPPOSED TO THE OLCOTT BILL
AGAINST PROPOSED REGULA-
TION OF SCHOOL INSPECTION.
Health Officer Does Not Think an
Adequate Force of Inspectors Is
Provided by the Measure.

Adverse reports have been made TO the
Commissioners by Health Officer Wood
ward and the board of education on a
bill introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Olcott. making certain pro-
visions for the medical inspection of the
public schools and providing that all
meetings of the board Of education and
its committees shall be open to the public.
In the first section the bill provides
that medical inspectors Of schools shall
not rely upon principals or teachers to
select the children in need Of medical
inspection or treatment: that zone OF
said inspectors shall he appointed by the
health officer to serve as head physician
Of medical inspection in the schools, and
shall issue certificates as to the ply sical
capacity of candidates for teachers po-
stions. for which he shall charge no fee
but for which he shall receive an addi-
tional compensation of $50. The bill
also provides 5000 for school nurse.
IF it be intended by the within bill
to prevent principals or teachers from
selecting the children in need of medical
inspection or treatment" Health Officer
Woodward reported to the Commission
ers, 1.-The bill should not be enacted un-
less Ii be amended so as to increase very
largely the number of medical inspectors
trained nurses. The provision for head
physician with compensation at the rate
Of $50 per annum is unsatisfactory. be-
cause no competent physician could be
found who would be willing to devote his
entire working day to the medical in
specton service for $3.50 per annum. The
provision for one school nurse is salts
factory in so far as it goes. but the
number OF nurses provided should be
much greater than the number mentioned
in the bill
The second section of the bill provides
that no part of the appropria atoms tc
provide for the expenses of the public
schools shall be available and that nc
warrant shall be drawn against these ap-
preparations unless the meetings of tbs
BOARD Of education and all its committees
shall be open to the public. Upon this
section W. V. Cox. chairman of tine
boards committee on rules has reported
adversely. for the reason that the boa re
is obeyng a similar provision in the
present school law
