 similar lectures, adjusted to their needs, were given in the negro schools. The talks to the girls were here made by colored trained nurse Ca former graduate of the negro high school and of Chlcago hospitaD who kindly vo,,ln- teered her services. e
 Visit Negro Schools
 Tn addition to the preliminary inspec- tIon, the negro schools were visited at regular intervals. Not only was an ef- fort made to detect physical defects in the individual child, but special atten-. tion was directed to general matters of ventilation cleanliness, sanitation, and crowdng. Criticisms were frequently made and wherever possible faults were corrected. The removal of the negro high school to Eighth avenue and the cs- tablishment of the Thomas school have greatly improved general conditions Lee lures upon general hygiene of interest to the negro race dealing with tu- berculosis, ventilation, the value of sleep and other subjects. were delivered to the students of the negro high school.

Finds Pediculosis Capitis

A great many children were found to be infected with pediculosis capitis. While the prevalence of this very annoying and embarrassing malady varied greatly in different parts of the city, no school was exempt In most of the schools only iso- lated cases were found, and the nurse was sent to the homes in such instances garding means for it's eradication. These visits usually brought immediate results, but in certain instances repeated and in sistent advice was necessary
 Tn two schools infection of the scalp was almost universal Children were seen here whose heads were as clean as could be wished and who showed that they had received daily careful attention, and yet even these children were infected, proving that where the disease is so widespread reinfection takes place almost daily.
 Radical measures seemed necessary In these two schools, and in the smaller of the two the nurses conducted a general head washing and amounting which last ed two days and yielded satisfactory re- suits. In the other school a circular let ter was addressed to each parent telling of this state in the school and asking en- ergetic cooperation in it's removal While great many parents responded promptly and efficiently, few did not, so that con- ditions were improved but by no means cured

Some Defects Found

| "Defects of vision were not so frequently
 met with as last year. This, no doubt, IS
 because a great many cases had, as the result of earlier advice, been treated. TWO hundred and sXty-four cases were re- corded.
 | -Four cases of advanced pulmonary tu- berculosis were seen and withdrawal ad- | vised until such time as an open ar school could be established. Seven hundred cases of enlarged ton sils were detected and treatment or opera | ton advised. A large number of these | children showed also defective nearing but are not recorded as such because the enlarged tonsil is at fault and its re- moval in time will restore the hearing. Three hundred and ninety cases ot adenoids were seen. Frequently a pupil presents both adenoids and enlarged ton- sils, and in such cases it has been our rule to record only the most obvious de- feet.
 'Forty-iour children showed advanced and grave defect of hearing. Nasal ob- struction, other than that caused by ade- holds, was met with in 36 instances.
 Tn reporting defective teeth, only such cases were noted as showed advanced ana rather widespread decay. such condition as would likely affect the digestion and general health. Two hundred and elghty- eight instances were seen.
 '1WentN-lWO Wclc iOuiiN Nit" marked anemia not due to other ob- vious disease. No doubt a great many of these were hookworm victims, and the nurse was instructed to suggest the possi- bility of this to the parent
 Three cases of cardiac disease not previously recognized were recorded.
 Five instances of orthopedic defects requiring attention were noted.
 ''Forty-two cases of communicable skin disease Qncluding disease of the scalp) were excluded until treatment had rem dered then non-contagious.
 "To cases of communicable eye disease Urachomal, were excluded.
 No record was made of those chil- dren handicapped by defective speech in whom no anatomical defect could be found. Such children need certain ex- ercise of the vocal organs under a teacher especially trained for this pur pose. Exact record of these cases will be made next year, with view of recommending some arrangement for their training

we must not lose sight of the large unen- rolled class.
 For Better Teeth
 "The National Dental association in it's crusade for better teeth is placing in . number of cities, at its own expense, well equipped dental dspensares for the free treatment of school children Through the efforts cs the Birmingham Dental as sociaton one of these dispensaries will be established in Birmingham; room suit able for this purpose having been provided in the Paul Hayne school. The Brming- ham Dental association will provide ma- terial and men for the work without cost to the individual or the city Each school child will be examined for defective teeth, and wherever such trouble is found viii be given a card showing what teeth are diseased and advising that dentist be consulted. Those unable to pay may take | advantage of the free dispensary.
 'rhe importance of this work can hard l ly be over estimated. In order to obtain the highest mental and physical develop ment, the child should not be permitted to carry any removable handicap. A carious l tooth furnishes focus for the dissemina- l tion of germs and certain amount of de- caying organic matter. The continuous swallowing for months and even years of | these pOisons results in the impairment of health, both directly through general pois-
 
 stomach. And beyond this the teeth have certain mechanical value to the child l in the mastication of his food and their loss is prolific cause of poor digestion. l Tt is needless to say that every pre- caution towards surgical cleanliness will l be observed in this as in other examina- tions (The board of education provides small wooden tongue depressors for use l in the examination of the mouth and throat. Each is then destroyed so that no child has placed In his mouth an in- strument which has ever been used be- | fore.)
 Personal and Social Hygiene
 Lectures upon personal and social hy. l giene were delivered by the medical director and other physicians invited by you, to groups of boys limited to certain grades. It was our endeavor to make 1 these lectures direct and informal and tc give the boy authoritative and correct in formation regarding many matters whicl l he should understand and yet which art SC often misunderstood, because of tllt sources from which instruction common ly comes. We wanted to give him the proper point of view and to inculcatt
 ideals which must accompany this poin of view. From the interest shown fir u.ese lectures and the manner In whiol

sent to the parent explaining what has been found and advising that physician be consulted, or if a physicians S ice can not be paid, that the child be taken Tor free treatment to the dispensary at the Hillman hospital (figure D. He is re- quested to take this notification to the physician or hospital, as the case may be, and a reply from the physician Is to be written upon the return postal card. This reply is noted on the child s orlglnal card, which is then filed in an index sys- tenn. In cases where the parent or physician is careless, or diliatory, and the medical directors communication remains unanswered, this childs record will not be closed until the nurse has called at the home to urge that his needs receive consideration, and has added to the other data on the card the result of her Yisft.
 Notify the Parent
 "A separate card is provided upon which to notify the parent when a child IS ex- cluded for contagious disease, plain statement being made of the conditions and the necessity for keeping him out of school (figure 8. It is recognized that to exclude a child works quite hardship upon him and consequently exclusions are reduced to the minimum. In. minor .ln- fectious disorders, such as trachoma, or ring worm, the pupil is excluded only until the medical director is satisfied that he is under the care of a physician and is receiving active treatment, when be is permitted to return even though he may not be entirely well.

M'LESTER REPORTS ON WORK IN SCHOOL He Recites Defects Found
 Among the Pupils WORK OF INSPECTION System for Public School Has Proved Very Advantageous - Every
 Parent Will Be Interested
 in the Report
WORK OF INSPECTION

The report of the medical inspector Dr. James McLester, of the Birming- ham public schools, which was read before the board of education at their meeting yesterday, contains full and comprehensive account of one of the most recent and important features ot the schools.
 The relief given to individuals by the removal of physical handicaps has enabled hundreds of youths to do req sonably good work in ,he school and has saved many parents from mortif- cation on account of the misconduct of their children The department of medical inspection, consisting of the in spector and two trained nurses, work ing in cooperation with the principals and the teachers, in order to do the most effective work for the schools, must enlist the cooperation of sew era1 agencies outside the schools, such as the Hillman hospital. the dental dis pensary, the Associated Charities, and finally the juvenile court.
 In the Paul Hayne school a special room has been equipped for a dental clinic and dispensary by the Jefferson County Dental association. A graduate dentist will be placed in charge for the special benefit of the schools. An examination of sthe teeth of all the children in the schools will be made early in the year and parents will be duly advised of their children's needs. Those unable to provide the necessary treatment will receive attention free of

Skin EruptiOus

"A few cases of suspicious skin eruption were sent home, one of which proved to be scarlet fever, and two were measles Microscopic examinations were made of the exudate in every case of sore eyes, but none of these proved to be of a seri- ous nature.
 "It may appear at first glance, that the results of this preliminary examination were small compared with the labor and time devoted to it. yet consideration of the protection afforded the other children by the detection and exclusion of those suffering with diphtheria and other infec-
 tious diseases will convince one of it's
 value.
 "The system used in our first year of medical inspection was found to work so satisfactorily that 1t was continued, with slight notifications, last year The teach CT plays an extremely important role in
 this work and is an invaluable assistant to the director. The mother is not quick to recognize minor physical handicap in her child, but gradually accepts as normal any slight defect he may have, while the teacher on the other hand with her trained faculties and opportunities for ob- serving large number of children, learns to recognize the normal and quickly de- tects the abnormal in her pupils. ITO aid her in this discrimination lec- lures are given by the medical director explaining the defects to be looked for, their symptoms and effects. Each teach CT keeps upon her desk record cards nigure D upon which she is requested to
 note anything unusual she sees in a child, whether it be that he cannot see the blackboard readily. does not hear well, breathes through his mouth, complains | frequently of headache, is backward or !, incorrigible, or anything which seems to | interfere with progress in the class.

McLester's Report

The following is pr. McLester's re- port:
 "As is customary. during the trst week. a preliminary inspection of all the schools was made with the ob- ject of detecting contagious diseases before an opportunity for spreading was offered Cultures were made from the throat of each child who gave evil dence of acute disease of the nose or throat Fifteen of these cultures Qess than 05 per cenD showed the diph- theria basillus and the children from whom they were taken were sent home, subsequent cultures being made at fre- quent intervals Some of them later developed active diphtheria and their exclusion was necessary for the child's own sake; but others were so called 'diphtheria carriers, children who (perhaps because of immunity haven't the disease, but harbor the germ m their threats, thus becoming walking menace to all others with whom they | come in contact. It was, of course, nec- essary to exel3de this latter class also
