Children suffering from diseases
of the eyes, ears, tonsils, throat and
from adenoids cannot make as good a
record as pupils who are in a perfect
physical condition. They don't feel
well, and, hence, cannot do as good
work as if they did. To concentrate
their minds on their studies is up
hill work all the time. They find
TO pleasure in their books, and they
are discouraged because they cannot
get on as we'll as they think they
ought and as their teachers expect
them to. If the troubles from which
they suffer are neglected they carry
their handicap all through their
lives, which will be shorter than they
otherwise would be. If they can be
relieved of their physical defects, and
they can be in most cases, why
shouldn't the school authorities take

eve call attention to the result of
physical examinations in the public
schools of Atlanta because it is prob
able that the percentage Of children
in our public schools, who are suffer-
ing from physical defects of some
sort, is about as great as it is 10
Atlanta. 1t is a fact that in the
kindergarten schools here, where
physical examinations of the chill
dren are required, very many ply
sically defective children are discov-
cred and treated. 1t is a safe state
ment that the percentage of children
graduating from the kindergarten
schools into the public schools, who
suffer from physical defects of any
sort is very small in comparison with
the percentage of physically defective
children who enter the public schools
without having first passed through
the kindergarten schools"

DAWSON SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE TO Be EXAMINED
Board of Public School Commissioners Create Office
Inspector, and Elect DR.. w. II. Gardner o Fill 1t.

The board of Public School Com
missioners of Dawson has inaugur-
ated new departure.
AS result, all of the pupils who
attend the Dawson schools will be
examined by a physician for the pur-
pose of ascertaining if they have any
physical defects or infectious or con-
tagious diseases.
The office of Medical Inspector for
the schools was created, and Dr. w.
II. Gardner, the city physician, elect
ed to discharge it's duties at a salary
Of 500 a year.
1t is made the Inspectors duty to
examine at once all children now at
tending the schools, and others as
they enter.
The Importance of Examination.
The Savannah News is urging med
zeal examination of the school chill
dren Of that city, and in an editorial
on the subject says:
Yesterday the Morning News had
something to say about the need of
and the benefits that flow from occa-
Slonal physical examinations of the
children of our public schools
What was said was based upon the
statement that a committee of the
board of education was ready to re-
port upon the ACCESSIBILITY Of making
such examinations a feature of the
schools. In this connection it IL
worthy of notice that DR.. Stewart
Roberts, who has charge of the work
Of making physical examinations Of
the children in the schools of At
lanta, has just made a report OF the
results of his work in number OF
the schools of that city. The regula-
ton requiring these examinations
went into effect at the beginning OF
this school year, and as yet he hash t
mad time to examine the children Or
all the schools. From September
LIST, when the school year began, he
examined 2,375 children in six OF
the schools. He found that 81 per
cent. of them suffered from defects
of one sort and another, some haV-
ing one defect and some another, ana
not few of them more than one.
Diseases of the teeth, eyes, tonsils
and glands predominated, big per-
centage of them suffering from ade-
nOids.
The examinations will continue
until the children of all the schools
have been thoroughly Inspected. II
is assumed that the percentage OF
those suffering from diseases will be
found to be about the same as that
in the schools in which examinations
have been made.
More than half of the children
are the victims of diseases which, IN
most cases, would yield readily 10
diseases which the par
ents of the children hadn't noticed,
and which, if they had, might not
have been properly dealt with But
now that parents are having their at
