the modern idea of medical inspec-

such a thorough examination, as the
work is generally carried on by one
or more general practitioners and
trained nurses. The specialists, while
not absolutely necessary, add infinite
ly to the effectiveness Of the work in
every way The dental feature is very
interesting. The plan of rewards for
personal hygiene we have, after grad

New Orleans and Atlanta both took
up this work with the sessions of
1908 and 1909. In the last few
months other towns and cities have
become interested one way or an

secure treatment when needed for
the defects disclosed is a large prob

were treated by or on the advice Of
their family physicians. In some

tions have been tardy in this phase
of medical science-the Southern

WHY MEDICAL INSPECTION OF
SCHOOLS Is NEEDED.
Paper OF DIR. Hines, Member OF State
Board OF Health, Read Before the
State Medical Association mt Laur-
ems Meeting--Thc Seneca Schools.

The paper below was prepared by
Dr. f. A. Hines of Seneca In his ca
pacity as a member of the State board
OF health and was read at the meet
ing OF the South Carolina Medical
Association during it's meeting in
Laurens on the afternoon of April 20
The paper aroused great interest, was
Endorsed by the association and re-
ferred to It's committee on legislation

al machinery. 1t is safe to asesrt that
II the medical profession embraces
this opportunity as H. should, this
commission will go on record as fav-
oring legislation for the hygienic care
of the school child.
Why not urge a law similar to Mas
sachusetts, which. in brief. Is as fol-
lows: The school community of every
city and town schools to be separate
ly and carefully tested and examined
at least once every school year to as
certain whether ne is suffering from
defective sight or hearing or from
any other disability or defect tendins
to prevent his receiving the full BEN
efits of school work or requiring a
modification of the school work in
order to prevent injury to the child
or to secure the best educational re-
suits. This law appears comprehen-
sive and yet is lacking in a very i'm
portant particular for our model. 1t
makes no provision for the country
schools, the fountain head OF the
stream of humanity into the towns
and cities. Again this commission
should advise that a medical man be
placed upon the State board of edu-
cation. His advice should be just as
far-reaching as that of the attorney
general. Why should we after all
provide for medical oversight of the
school child?
Here are some of the reasons: Har-
rington says that the extent of ply
sical defects in children may be con-
cluded from the results of the exam
ination of 100000 children in New
York between the ages of and IS
years. Sixty per cent. were under
nourished; &C per cent. needed medi-
cal and surgical care; 40 per cent.
had bad teeth; 3S per cent. had en-
larged cervical glands; 81 per cent
had defective vision; IS per cent. en-
larged tonsils, while 10 per cent. had
adenolds. 1t has been estimated
from the result of a recent investiga-
tion among school children in, New
York city that there are in this coun-
try 100000 children having defects
more or less serious that should re-
ceive attention from parents and
family physicians. These startling
the results of the work of the Russell
Sage foundation in New York for the
study of the backward children.
Leonard Ayers reports the loss in
progress of the different defects as

Aside from the physical discom-
forts. the damaging influence of these
defects on the mind and morals
places upon us an added RESPONSE
bility. Should we fail to secure leg
islative enactment, as in most coun-
tries and some States, to aid us in
solving these problems, what course
Is open to us? We must mould pub
lie opinion in our favor by private ef-
forts. Such a plan as that in Switzer-
land would soon bring tangible re-
suits. Every school board has a ply
sician as an active member. even in
the remotest country districts. 1
know that many of our most influen-
tial physicians occupy similar posi-
tions and can now exercise great
power toward the good outlined.

the welfare of our schools and hence
