HOW ENGLAND CARES FOR
HER SCHOOL CHILDREN

A State cannot effectually insure it.
self against physical disease unless it
begins with the children.
Starting out with this general prop
osition, England's chief medical officer
of the Board of Education, Sir George
Newman, in his annual report recently
issued, traces the effects of the medi-
cal inspection which now plays so i'm
portant a part in English school life
The obligatory organization of medical
inspection dates from the beginning of
1908, and the actual machinery itself
is now fairly complete, but it is point
ed out that the effect Of ameliorative
work has not had time to show itself
in the returns of existing disease, all.
ment or defect The amount of Ieeway
yet to be made up may be gathered
from the official statement that out of
the 100000 elementary school chill.
dren in England and Wales
10 per cent. suffer from serious
defect in vision.
to 5 per cent, suffer from de-
fective hearing.
6 to 8 per cent have adenoids or
enlarged tensils, of sufficient de.
cree to obstruct the nose or
throat and thus to require surgi-
cal treatment
40 per cent. uffer from extensive
decay of the teeth
80 to 40 per cent. have unclean
heads or bodies.
] per cent. suffer from tuberculosis
in readily recognizes form.
l to 2 per cent. are anlicted with
heart disease.
Moreover, a considerable percentage
of children are suffering from a great.
er or less degree of malnutrition The
chief medical officer points out:
In canot be doubted that in the
aggregate this formidable category
of disease and defects means a
serious amount of suffering, in
capacity and inefIiciency which at
least must greatly limit the oppor-
tunity and diminish the capacity
of the child to receive and profit
by the education which the State
provides.
Effect on National Life.
The moral is obvious. As Doctor
Newman points out: Every step in
the direction of making and keeping
the chilrden healthy is a step toward
diminishing the prevalence and light.

adult, and a relatively small rise II

THE DISSOLUTION CT
STANDARD OIL

ANDRRp OIL.
A banker familiar with the petroleum
business, discussing the effects of the
dissolution of Standard Oil, says com
petition at the start might be severe,
but in the long run consumers would
not get their products any cheaper.
Severe competition he adds, lis like
ly to force some of the weaker con
Germs out of business, which eventually
would mean the concentration of the
oil business of the world in fewer
hands. Forcing of the shareholders 70
accept small fractions of shares in
place of the old New Jersey Certih-
Gates is a comedy. Several thousand
of the 5000 shareholders of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey each
hold 100 shares or less. Take the
shareholder who owns, say five shares.
his quarterly dividends will amount to
a few cents only in the case of most
of the individual companies. A holder
of one share of Galena Oil. for exam.
pie, will receive a check quarterly for
few cents, in addition to small divi-
dends in thirty-four other companies.
It will cost the Standard Oil Company,
or rather the thirty-five companies, 4
total of $3.50 for postage each year TO
mail dividend checks to each stock
holder to say nothing of the cost of
the envelopes, checks, labor, etc, 20
which the shareholder is entitled If !
held one share of Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey stock, and receiv-
ed my pro rata holdings in the individ-
ual companies, the cost of mailing
checks, notices of annual meetings.
etc, would amount to at least So and
my dividends would amount to $40
year in the aggregate. Besides, how
are the shareholders to determine the
actual value of the securities of the
thirty-four companies? While there
has been no confiscation of property.
! there has been taken from the share
holders a reasonable and ady market
!
is, will the banks care to loan money
on the securities of these thirty-fye
/ subsidiary companies not knowing
their real yalue?"
The Standard Oil Company buys the
bulk of it's oil from producers. In othe"
words, if produces comparatively little
| petroleum from its own territory. It
/ has been carrying a surplus of 00OO0-
/ 600 barrels of oil in its tanks. The
question now is whether it will care
to carry such large amount Of oil in
/ the future. A sharp drop in the prices
of by-productS Of petroleum would
mean lower prices for the producer Of

Are the local authorities doing their
part? Many of them, Doctor Newman
reports, are proving themselves fully
equal to the occasion and the task,
and though unwilling to burden the
local rate, they are graphing the sit
uation with zeal as well as modera-
ton and good sense. 1T must be
admitted, however, that in respect Of
both means and methods the way IS
difficult and hard" he adds, partly
because there is at present no parlia-
mentary grant in aid OF this work and
partly because of the compleXity Of
the issues which are raised in reia-
ton to treatment"
In the whole school medical service
in England there are now just five
short of 1000 medical officers at work.
of whom seventy-nine are women doc
tors. In addition, 935 nurses give their
whole or part time to the work. In
the reports of these local school doc
tors there is a mass of instructive
and entertaining facts, from which we
icull the following:
Among Halifax children who did not
work out of school hours the average
height was 59.9 inches, weight S1.5
pounds while among children employ
ed out of school hours the height was
fifty-four inches and weight sixty
seven pounds.
Dealing with the treatment of en-
larged tonsils, Doctor Forbes CBrign,
tom thinks it should be a routine prac-
tice before the children commence
breathing exercise that a "handker.
chief parade" should be held The num-
Der of children coming with handker,
chiefs would increase.
Seventy authorities have sanctioned
expenditure on spectacles for scholars.
Last year $4,000 was spent under this
head.
In a number of schools there are
regular toothbrush drills, each child be-
ing provided with mug, toothbrush
and tooth powder.

Although it is usually found neces-
sary to make use of doll for demon
strations, it has been found possible in
a fair number of cases to arrange
for the children to see, even if they
cannot actually participate, in the
washing, dressing and feeding of a
real baby. At Bradford there are
evening classes for mothers with their
babies, conducted by trained nurses:
Boys who turn up at Wolverhampton
schools with dirty faces and hands are
sent to the layatory to wash. The
teachers call attention to torn clothing
missing buttons and uncleaned boots.
In one school, as the result of the
cleansing reform, the number of schOl-
ars wearing collars, originally only five
pent cent, was increased to eighty per
cent, and this without compulsion.
Several towns have set up school
clinics or hospitals. The most com
plete of its kind in England is at Brad
ford, and occupies ten rooms in the
town hall. There is METEOROLOGICAL
laboratory, X-ray room, dental room,
rooms for treatment of minor ailments,
nurses room, etc
Shower baths for elementary schools
have recently been scantioned in nine
cases. The bath is usually available
for all children, and avowedly forms
part of the training of the child, and is
supervised by the teaching staff. As a
rule, the children are bathed one a
week.
Doctor Hawkes. examined 1881 chill
dren attending three schools of the
poorer classes for fiat foot" He found
65.4 of the boys and G4.9 of the girls
were affected to greater or less de
gree. In 2S.S per cent, of the boys and
81 per cent. of the girls the second
stage of true hat-foot had been reach
