TO give CHILDREN
MEDICAL TESTS
Plans Being Made to Ex-
anime Pupils of Paro-
chial Schools
BERTRAM AND LYNCH
WILL BE EXAMINERS

Children OF a number Of the parochial
schools Of the city will be given medi-
cal inspection to make sure their eyes,
teeth. hearing, breathing and hearts
are in good condition. Such inspection
is the rule in the majority Of modern
schools. In one school where II had
been given for the first time. several
primary children thought the medical
examination was so much fun that they
begged their teacher TO have one the
next week and were greatly dlsappoint-
ed TO find il was only to occur once a
year. The youngsters like to read the
big print in the eye test cards and TO
have the doctor listen to hear their
thearts beat and to find out what sharp
ears they have got to hear his watch
tick.
ST. Patricks, st. Paul's. 81. Thomas
and the Sacred Heart schools will be
the first parochial schools visited by
the doctors for medical inspection. The
medical men are Dr. A. ]. Bertram,
eyes. ears, nose and throat specialist,
and Dr.. Joseph A. Lynch, dental sur
geOn, both local men. Dr. Bertram has
been with the dupont Company, as
medical inspector in No. 3 Hospital, at
Carney's Point, and as chief surgeon,
with assistants and nurses, at the
POmptOn Lakes plant, n. j. DR.. Lynch
was dental surgeon at Hopewell, Va,
and later was in the army service as
an army dentist.
The two medical men are giving their
- Nfsasf
Inspections in all the parOchial schools
Of the city which shall desire their SER
vices. The only expense TO which the
schools will be put is the cost Of the
cards for tabulating the pupils physi-
cal condition, and notices sent 10 par
ents In case a defect is found The
card records, which have spaces for
nine annual examinations, Will be kept
in card catalog form in the schools to
which the pupils belong. Thus there
will be constantly at the teachers ref
erence, a statement Of the physical con-
dition OF all her pupils. II there is
found trouble requiring medical treat
ment the parents will be advised OF t..
With eyes, IL has frequently been
found that one eye had very blurred Wis
ion, causing a heavy strain on the
other. Taken In time, such a condi-
ton could be easily cured, preventing
poor eyeslght in later life
Bishop John j. Monaghan. OF the
Diocese Of Wilmington. has approved
Of the medical, inspection for the pa
rOchial schools. Speaking to the doc
tors, he remarked that in his own case,
II there had been the medical eXamina-
ton in the schools which he attended
as boy, he would have been spared
troubles with his eyesight in later
life.
Slight dental defects which VIII take
little trouble or expense to cure now
are apt to be unnOtlced by parents until
their children's teeth are In serious
condition, and their general health az
