Medical Inspection
In Dover Schools

The Board of Education of
Dover at a recent meeting provid-
ing for introducing medical inspec-
ton Of the schools. This step was
taken after consulting the physic-
ians of the town and after securing
their approval and cooperation.
The purpose Of the physical ex-
animation is TO cover four main
things: vision, hearing, enlarged
tonsils and the presence of adenoids
Many children suffer from one or
more Of these defects. often without
the knowledge of teachers and par
ents. 1t is the intent of the physic-
al examination to detect these and
notify the parents of their exist
.ence. so that they may have the
proper persons TO correct the de-
feet. Poor vision. hearing. enlarg-
ed tOnsils. adenoids and bad teeth
interfere with the progress of many
a child in the schools. and in many
cases explain slow progress through
the grades. Experience has shown
in schools where medical inspection
has been in vogue for sevral years
Newark post., 1914-04-08

the percentage Of retarded and
slow pupils has considerably de-
creased.
In other words, medical inspec-
ton is another safeguard which the
school throws around the pupils
and its good effects in the schools
will in a short time more than JUS
tify its introduction. There will for
a time be some miSapprehension Of
its purpose. and in such cases the
school will be glad to make the real
purpose clear. As an indication Of
such misapprehension was the in
quiry at Dover of several parents if
it was the intention of the school to
vaccinate all the pupils. The school
of course has no such intention or
desire. Another parent inquired If
the school intended to make thor
ough physical examination of each
pupil. and was assured the examin-
alton would cover no such ground,
but that its aim would be princip-
ally to discover poor vision or hear
ing, or the presence of adenoids or
enlarged tonsils. The same forms
and procedure will be used in our
system as are used in New York.
Philadelphia and other cities which
serve as models in this work, with
the exception that We cannot go
into the work with the full thor
oughness which characterizes the
work in these cities.

Revolutionary War" and repre-

mand, at the head Of the troops
leading them off the Green, with a
line Of interested spectators watch

which is the present State House,
and which has been restored to its
former architectural appearance.
On July 6, 1776, Continental
Congress ordered the regiment Of Z

she let the little four-year-old go.
But the street was straight. it was
a quiet time Of day and she could
stand at the window and watch the
child all the while, 50 she said,
Take Chris with you. dear. and do
not 60 beyond the fountain"
As the little boy and the big dog
passed the first street corner, two
rough-looking boys came running
up and at sight Of Joel one cried,
Give us some lilies
NO" he replied, mot 'nless
you give me two pennies.
"Oh. 90 on" cried the bigger
boy. Give US the lilies!" and he
reached to snatch them. As he did
50 Chris pushed between the child

Huh! keep your old lilies
They re no good anyway" cried
the boys as they ran away.
Soon Joel met his little friend,
Lucy Thomas. "Oh, haven't you
a lily for me ?" she begged.
I'm not giving 'em away.
They're two cents apiece"
Il haven't any pennies with me,
but | do love lilies and I'd so like
one for Sunday. You have so many,
Joel, DEAR she pleaded.
But he shook his head. I'm
selling EN-, he repeated, and pass
ed on.
Farther up the street he met his
kind old friend, Mr.. Field. Good
morning, Mr.. Field" called Joel.
"Don T you want to buy a f over 20
Buy a flower! Ne buy a flower
Why, bless me, Joel, you'd orter

you"
But m selling EN-" persisted
the child. won t you buy one?"
The old man took one, tucking
the pennies into the boys pockets
and grumbling that he did not
know what he would do with the
flower, but thinking to himself that
he would put it by little Mary s
plate on Easter morning.
As Joel reached the fountain
and turned to cross the street, he
stopped. There upon the edge Of
the sidewalk sat an old woman,
wrinkled, bent and gray. Upon
her head was ragged shawl and
by her side was heavy basket.
Joel watched her for a full min
ute, then going up to her he took
off his little cap and put all his
lilies into her lap, saying, SIS 'ou
tired? Take Joel's lilies.
Old Mr.. Field, who had turned
to lock after the boy, took his hat
off, too, and Mother from her win
dow smiled through sudden tears.
