 IN THIS CITY
Dr. Sargent Says Phoenix Is Free of Children's Dis
 eases and Dr. Godfrey Notes Little Unhealthful
 Condition Among Pupils

Never since l have been the city health officer, has the city of Phoe- nix been more free from the presence of contagious disease among babies and children" said Dr. w. H Sar- gent, the city health officer yester- day. So far as l know there is not a single case of diphtheria. whoOping cough, humps, scarlet fever or meas les in Phoenix at the present time Ii there were any such cases 1 would know, as every physician having Knowledge of any of these contagious diseases is required by law to make d report to me- But l have no report of any such cases
 It is particularly gratifying to note this apparent healthful condition among the children of Phoenix just as the opening of the school year It should mean that children who will begin their studies next week will be a healthy lot of boys ana girls and it augurs well for the com ing winter.
 In line with the statement made Ey pr. Sargent, is that of City School Physician Edward S Godfrey. Jr, who yesterday said that of over 600 1 children he and Dr. Palmer and pr | Cron had examined, but one had | been found who was felt to be in unfit condition to undertake his 1 studies. his one was suffering from an affection of the eye. not of d ] contagious order but such as would l hinder him in his studies.
 Strange as it may seem," said Dr. ] Godfrey, T find that more than 1 fifty per cent of the pupils already examined are afflicted with enlarged i tonisls None of these however are of such nature as would preclude them from entering school and un- dertaking their work. I have ad- i vsed many of these that it would be well for them to see their fam 1 fly physician who would determine whether or not treatment is neces- sary.
 As a whole I find the boys and girls who have come to me to be very healthful lot We are taking the school history of each child. GOV cring each year they have been at tending school. We take their height,
 eight, state of nutrition, and exam inc closely for trachoma and nasal i Instructions Tests of vision will be | made by the teachers when the scholars are in attendance at school
 The three physicians now engaged
 in examining the prospective school | pupils have their hands full during i the two hours between eight and ten o'clock each morning. As there are probably nearly 25OO children of | school age in Phoenix, Dr. Godfrey l will have much work even after the 1 schools open. He will visit each | school room after the opening day | and will make an examination of all pupils who have not previously un- dergone the required examination Those who have already been exam
 ined will be armed with certificates
 from Dr. Godfrey which will enttle
 them to attend school without fur ther examination.
 It is believed that there will De
 little cause to fear the introduction
 into Phoenix of infantile paralysis as
 the state health officers have been
 so watchful of those returning from
 California points that there will be
 little danger by the time the schools
 open.
