Medical Inspection OF School Chill

Gently Enacted.
PLAN PREVENTIVE MEASURE
With Physicians Leaving Many Sec

Will Meet Situation by Examina-
ton OF Children.

distinctly forward step was made
in the annals OF Virginia's campaign
for life and health-savinE when Gov
ernor Westmorcland Davis affixed his
signature TO Senate bill lS3. whose
patron was Senator West. OF Nanse-
mond which measure lays foundation
for medical inspection and health in
spection work in the schools and
homes of Virginia and required that
every normal school Of the State shall
TO the end that all teachers shall be
equipped with working knowledge
OF the subject.
The preamble OF the West law re-
cites that the number OF physicians
available FOR the care OF the sick 10
decreasing In proportion 10 the popu-
lation: that sickness may be decreaseI
by preventive measures; that it is adj
visable that children in the public
schools should be inspected and cN-
amined: and that many homes in every
community should be visited by pub
lie health nurse or physician.
The first section OF the measure
autorizes the Boards OF Supervisors
OF every county 10 make direct a2-
preparation out o. the public funds OF
the county from the levies raised In
the county for county purposes to
provide for the inspection OF school
children and the employment OF a
school nurse TO visit the schools and
homes. in effort to prevent the
spread OF disease and 10 provide for
the treatment OF many ailments which,
II allowed to continue, will result o,s-
as,-ously 10 the pupils"
FUNDS ARE APPROPRIATED
TO COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS
The second section of the Law pro-
yides that the funds SO appropriated
shall DC placed to the credit of the
county schoo! board TO be spent in
the employment OF nurse or ply
sician. and provision is made that the
pcrson or persons employed shall Dc
approved by the Health Commiss enc.
OF the state.
The third section provides for tn"
health course in the normal schools
above referred 10, and provision is
made that such courses shall conform
10 the standard and requirement to be
fixed jointly by the state Health Com
missioner and the state Superintendent
OF Public Instruction.
While the measure is not drawn In
mandatory terms the benefits OF the
medical and health inspections pro-
viled therein have been so manifest
in communities in which the system
has been in vogue that there is little
doubt that every county in the Com
monwealth will align itself with z
movement SO closely in touch with the
spirit of the times, and so necessary
II those diseases which slay their
thousands in Virginia are TO be de-
tected In their incipient stages and
their innocent victims saved from pre-
mature decay and death.

CHANGES METHOD or HANDLING
WAR INSURANCE ALLOWANCES
New Treasury Plan Speed Up Delivery of Checks Soh
diers and Sailors Dependents.

Heretofore allotments were on a sliding
scale and varied accordingly to the SOL
dier's pay or the numbers and personnel
of his family.
slmpIifies Allotment System.
The new system, which was put into
effect with the approval Of the war and
navy Departments, win simplify the ad-
ministration Of alotments and allowances
both by the Bureau Of War-Risk Insur-
ance and in the field. Henceforth the
Bureau Of War-Risk Insurance will handle
allotments Of only two amounts-$i5 or
$40
The AMOUNTS Of family allowances paid
by the government TO supplement these
allotments are not changed by the amend
ed law
Beginning with july pay. the Bureau
Of War~Risk Insurance viii handle allot-
ments only to support family allowances
and then only in the amount required
by law to support such allowances. The
excess allotments and aIlotments to. per

This change in administrative proceed
