OBJECT OF DISCOVERY
is REMEDY OF DEFECTS
Tendency Is in Direction of Con-
structive Hygiene and Organized
Cooperation, He Declares.

That the development of medical in
spection of schools is steadily in the
direction of constructive hygiene and
that what is needed in every city is
organized, systematic cooperation, so
that time and energy may not be wasted
are two conclusions reached by DR.. Will
lard S. Small. principal of Eastern High
School in a paper which he recently
compiled on Some Important Aspects
of Efficient Medical Inspection of Schools
"a School Mans View
The primary object of physical ex-
animation is the discovery of infirmities
and defects" DIR. Small said The OBJ
ject OF the discovery. however is that
they may be remedied. A notice to the
intelligent and solicitous parent that the
child probably needs medical attention
is sufficient. But the majority of de-
fective children are children of poverty.
Poverty is the matrix of disease and de-
feet Ignorance is their nurse. The in
rance. Medical inspection must do bat
tie with poverty for the health and
happiness of helpless childhood It's
weapons are persuasion and instruction
Its only conpulsion is the moral com
pulSion eXerted by wise and sympathetic
and persistent persons. In this field
success depends almost absolutely upon
the school nurse.
Cites Experiments.
An experiment was made in Philadel-
phia in 1910 in which eight schools
of about the same character and equip
ment were selected. In four of these
schools nurses worked regularly; in the
other four, not At the end of the first
half year 1t was found that in the
schools where nurses worked results
were obtained in 90 per cent of the
recommendations of the medical in
spectors: In the four schools that had no

Inadequate number of nurses, DR.. Holmes
was able TO report an immediate and
large Increase in the number of cases
treated and reduction of retarda tion
due to physical infirInities'
1T Is beginning to he seen that real
economy OF time and effort demands that
much or this work be done within the
school, states DIR. Small mt another
point. 1T is already common for the
school nurse to take care of most of the

extended and systemized. DR. Holmes of
