WHAT Is SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE,
is SAUCE FOR THE GANDER.

1t is generally known that for some
days past there has been systematic
medical examination OF boys and girls
in the High School
First the boys were examined by
we'll known State physician. then the
girls, by a woman physician 1t is
understood physical defects werefound
IN some children and the parents no
titled to have them corrected.
This is all very well so far as it
goes, but it does not go far enough. If
the children are required to be healthy
and to maintain certain physical
standing. why not the teachers?
Should not the teachers be subject to
a physical examination as well as their
pupils? No teacher is in ht condition
TO come incontact with some half hun
dred pupils. who is physically de-
fective.
She may be a carrier" OF some dis
ease, who knows? How many teach
ers have developed tuberculosis, and
even in its early stages she is a menac
in the class room where they must
necessarily cough and sneeze, even if
she does go outside to expectorate.
Let the teachers be subjected to a
physical examination as well as the
pupils. What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander.
