An interesting matter that Superin-
tendent Canine brought up was the adj
vocacy of a medical inspection board
for the public schools. He said that the
superintendents of the schols through
out the state were banded together to
ask the passage of a state law providing
for medical inspection in the public
schools.
This is calculated to reduce to a
minimum the epidemics which prevail
among school children, and by its
means, children defective in ways COM
mon to children but generally ignored
by parents, to point out wherein such
deficiencies lie. 1t is believed that
