Why School Physicians

Than Good Doctors

T+HE highest authorities on medical In
spection IN schools are now agreed
that the most skilful physician In the
world will not necessarily make the best
health officer for school Officials Of the
National Education Association are pointing
out that 1t is not the school physician who
can trace the largest number OF defective
children who is the most valuable.
What Is needed more than anything these
days Is health officer who will take just az
much care in studying the surroundings of
school children as in sorting out the little
students with infectious diseases. really
ekilful health officer will take far more
pride in long list of healthy children in the
schools under his supervision than in long
list OF defective children he has detected
1t Is far more important to see that the

smoking evil has gained On them. 1T Is an
