The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-01-31

When the question of Birmingham relief work was presented before a mass meeting early in January. al- most every charitable association and organization in the city was repre- sented and the assistance of each was pledged in this work of relief. over and again reference was made 10 the work of this kind done by the city schools, what they had done, what they were doing every day here and there through the city, and what they would do in this general call for aid Their cooperation in this was not only pledged, but it seemed taken for grant ed from past experience that they would help. When a call like this is sent out and the schools are unques- tionably depended upon, it means that they have proven their worth to the community and that they are on plane that carries them far apove what is implied in the bare term. the school" Anyone who caught the spirit of dependence upon and trust in the schools that was expressed at that meeting realized that Birmingham IS proud of her schools and that she IS not mistaken in her estimation or them
 Ono who knows anything of these schools cannot fail to know that they arc one of the city's assets in many ways besides teaching the children cer- tain facts from textbooks, and one who knows them intimately must know in how many directions their benefits ex' tend. They are an exponent of the change in the public school from mere Iy a place of textbook instruction to d potent factor in industrial and social progress. A review of the industrial and social activities of the city schools will show this.
 In the first place, the Birmingham schools, or, to give credit where credit is due pr. Phillips and MT. Glenn, have studied tho needs of Birmingham, so- cial, economic, industrial, present and future; have seen where the schools could do effective work along these lines; and have used all the agencies at hand to aid in this work of progress. Euch work is based on the belief that the object of the public school is the education of all the children and of all the people; and that as means to accomplish that end school author ities must organize all the assets of the community, through the school, into active forces for social and in- dustrial progress.

Streamer Day. The fact that the schools can be depended upon has been proven. Whenever they can be of service they give their assistance. In whatever way they can promote the welfare of the city they are at work; and Birmingham, appreciating this attitude of the schools. has responded splendidly to the request that she cooperate with the schools for the benefit of all. and that the edu cation offered by the Brmingham schools, or by Birmingham through her schools may be just as big and as far reaching, and as great service as it Is possible for education to be.

For two weeks they gave instruction in the schools. visiting every school.

Medical Inspection In Schools

schools. Service in another direction is the medical inspection that was inaugu- rated in Birmingham six years ago. Dr. James s. McLester and the trained nurses who are associated with him in this work have been of untold service to the city. Much of their work has been of such nature that it's formal tabulation is impossible. By word here and a suggestion there, through prin- cipals, teachers, and children the work has reached out and has improved the health of the children and conditions in homes. Ear, eye, nose and throat dis eases of the children are brought to the attention of parents, and treatmen for these often results in such marked progress in the children's work and inf- provement in their general health that there can be no doubt of the wisdom of in- troducing medical inspection into the schools.
 Problems of school hygiene must be approached from the standpoint of the school and can be solved only by the physician who looks upon them primarily as educational problems. For that reason it is fortunate that medical inspection in the Birmingham schools has been and is administered under the direction of the board of education rather than from the health department. as is the case in some cities. Where 1t is directed by the nealln department IL nhS dH ShliS Sis different bearing. When it is under the direction of the board of education it is in keeping with the spirit of modern education. It is not merely the discovery of diseases and physical defects. not merely making healthy children, but bet ter students and better citizens. It en- deavors not by force of authority, but by cooperation with the other school agen- cies to provide conditions favorable to the physical, intellectual. and moral de- velopment of all the children.
 Miss Denny and Miss Patterson, the school nurses, visit the schools and the homes and accompany children to the dispensary.
 Dental Inspection
 Dental inspection was begun in l9i1- 12, with nine schools. The following year the work was taken up where it was left off and extended to other schools. The dental clinic and dispen- sary occupies a room in the Paul Haype school building assigned by the board for the special use of the 'committee representing the Jefferson County Den tai society. This work Is now in its fourth year and has done much to en- courage care of the teeth and mouth as we'll as attention to decayed teeth. Dostcr -Northington Drug company inns co-operated with the school authori : ties in this mouth hygiene movement by placing In the retail drug stores oyer the city line of good tooth brushes for children to be sold at 15 cents in- stead of at the regular price of 25 cents for such brushes.
