CARE Of CHILDREN
IN THE SCHOOLS OF THE STATE
OF SOUTH cARoLINA-URGE
PASSAGE OF BILL.
SOME REASONS ADVANCED
The Medical Association Shows the
ADVANTAGES to Result From the Pro-
posed LegisIatIon.-The Features
of tho Bill Were Explained.

Columbia-The South Carolina Med
lcal Association, the legally authorized
guardians Of the public health Of
South Carolina, desires to urge upon
the voters, their earnest considerar
ton Of the bill to provide for a sys-
tenn Of medical examination OF school
children and students attending pub
lie schools and colleges within the
state. This is a bill which the medi-
cal association has prepared with
great care after scrutinizing the laws
regulating the examination OF chill
dren in various states Of the Amert-
can union, as well as foreign countries
and we believe that taking all things
into consideration, is probably the
best bill to meet the conditions that
exist in this state. However, If any
one can suggest a better bill to meet
the same conditions, we wish 1t dis:
tinctly understood that we are not
welded to this particular one. A bill
was passed by both the senate and
house Of representatives last session,
but unfortunately was vetoed by the
governor. ...t
The first question that n natural
ly asks in regard to the matter Is,
whether conditions exist that warrant
the passage Of either this, or any 9TH
er bill upon the same subject. The
conditions certainly seem to exist ev-
erywhere else, as laws have been pass
ed in nearly every civilized state, max
ing such examinations compulsory.
We know that where these examina-
lions ale being conducted as Char.
lesion, Columbia, Spartanburg, Sen.
eca and other places that form 30 to
70 per cent of the children examined
are found to have more or less Sc.
rious defects. From data collected
by the bookworm corps which is op-
Grating in practically every county In
the state we are convinced that the
figures already quoted for certain
places in the state, very much under
estimates the conditions that exist in
the rural districts.
