HEALrH or SCHOOL CmLDREN,

HEALTH OF SCHOOL ClMDREN.
The report for 1919 Of the medical Of
flcer Of the British board Of education
has just been issued. 1t contains an
exhaustive account Of the measures
which are being taken throughout the
country to safeguard the health OF
school children. Uncleanliness stin oc-
cupies a large share Of the time and
energy of the officers OF the school
medical service. but the returns show
q decided and progressive Improvement.
and the grosser forms OF uncleanliness
are now rare as compared with the
conditions that prevailed when medical
inspection wa, instituted In 1908. There
are about six million children in the
public elementary schools. About 10
per cent. suffer from serious defects OF
vision. Among the causes given arc
heredity, early eye strain. defective
lighting, infectious diseases and neglect
in obtaining early medical advice. From
to 3 per cent. suffer from detective
hearing; from 1 to per cent. have
suppurating ears; about 10 per cent.
have adenoids. infiamed tonsils or en-
larged cervical lymph-nodes requiring
surgical treatment: Per cent have
ringworm: per cent. suffer from tu-
berculosis Of readily recognizable form;
from to 2 per cent. have heart dis
ease; from 20 to 40 per cent. have un-
clean heads or bodies. and more than
half the children are in need Of dental
treatment.
In five directions school hygiene has
undergone evolution There has been
a steady Improvement in the routine
work Of medical inspection. and an
cillary undertakings.~ There 10 less

ondly, there IL fuller differentiation Of
abnormal children and tendency on
the part Of authorities to modify the
school curriculum In their behalf. Much
time and labor are now being devoted
to mentally defective, tuberculosis
stammering and frau or retarded chill
dren. Thirdly. there has been an en-
largement of the conception Of the
sphere Of influence Of the school medi-
cal officers Education authorities are
finding that though they have been ap-
pointed In the first place merely to in
spect children, they may NIL very
useful place IN the educational system.
Tourthly, there has been q marked ad-
vance in respect to medical treatment
both in quality and in quantity. Last
ly, the intimate relation between school
hygiene and education is becoming rec
ognized and it's application understood.
The equipment Of the school. the char
acter of the teacher. the importance
Of physical exercise and manual
work, the relation Of the leaving child
to the national insurance system. to
industrial employment. to further edu-
cation in secondary schools. and to its
own home life, are now receiving at
tention. Thus the school medical work
and the issues arising therefrom says
the London correspondent Of The Jour-
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton, are beginning to form an integral
part Of our educational system.
