"The progress and development of
our schools depend upon an honest
investigation of their conditions, a
due appreciation sof their merits, a
frank admission of their shortcom-
ings, aud a sincere effort to improve
them"
Through the support Of the Coun-
ty Medical Association the rural
schools Of OcOnee are to take a pro-
grcssive step in the interest Of school
hygiene during the year 1913-l4. At
the last meeting of the South Caro-
lima Medical Association, held at
Rock Hill, April 10, 1913, the asso-
citation voted unanimously to exam
inc all pupils free Of charge. The
OcOncc Department Of Education, re-
aliZing the supreme importance Of
such a measure, has requested each
physician Of the county individuality
to assist in campaign to establish
medical inspection in the rural
schools. The heartiness OF the con-
sent was gratifying.
The plan adopted for the present
is to have each board Of trustees ask
the doctor who practices in their dis
trict to inspect their school. OF
course the doctor will appoint any
time that is convenient for him. The
cards to be used for the examination

tees, from Miss Annie McMahan,
Richland. The following extract
from the South Carolina State Board
OF Health Bulletin No. 8, contains
reasons and instructions for medical
inspection.
Medical Inspection Of Schools.
(By f. A. Hines, NJ. D., Member State
Board Of Health, Seneca, S. c.
Medical inspection Of schools is
an entirely new departure for the
Southern States, and especially is this
true Of South Carolina. This asser-
ton doesn't mean that we deserve
great credit for the efforts thus far
made, but rather to the contrary. Be-
fore proceeding, however, to prove
the truth Of the latter statement, let
us consider briefly what is meant by
medical inspection OF schools.
"According to modern ideas every
school child has the right to demand
of the State a reasonable assurance
that the course Of training prescribed
by the State shall not prove detri-
mental, hut conducive to health and
happiness and good citizenship. To
render this ideal mosc probable Of
attainment requires the addition of
competent physician to every
school in an advisory capacity on all
hygienic matters. Such a physician
will advise, after careful observation
of each pupil, not only proper hy-
gienic rules Of healthful living, but
will also detect incipient or chronic
diseases, deformities, vicious habits,

IL Rep. Santos bill, passed by the
House. becomes law. the state will
no longer pay out money To insurance
companies but will itself carry the
risk of loss on all public buildings as
is now done by large industrial con-
Germs for all their property.
The bill provides that the insurance
commissioner shall determine a rate
of assessment which will afford pro-
ceeds enough to meet all losses and
that the auditor general shall incor-
porate in his budget tax to create
the necessary sinking fund. When ii
fire occurs, the loss will be met simply
by transferring the amount of II from
this fund to the account of the depart
ment in which the injured property
belonged.
The purpose of another bill passed
is TO make the state tax commission
virtually an appellate court to review
the work of county boards of super
visors in apportioning taxes among
the different townships whenever APP
plication from one Of the supervisors
IL made to them.
II is aimed to alleviate situations
