CITY CHILDREN HEALTHIER

This Is By Reason of the Fact Clinics For Remedying Defects are Held

Special to the News
 Little Rock, Sept. PA summary of the reports made by the field nurses of the Arkansas Public Health Associ- ation on their work through the rural districts, covering period of but four weeks to the county, reveals that in 13 counties they visited $40 cases of tu- berculosis. This does not by any means represent a survey of the tuber- culosis situation in those counties. but will indicate that there is a very much work to be done in rural districts as well as in the urban. In one small district alone there had been 27 deaths from tuberculosis in eight years. five of which were in one family.
 An investigation of conditions in that particular district brought out the fact that il had been impossible to procure teacher because of this dis ease and the further fact that condi- tlons in the country were so unsani- tary that few homes had any toilets.
 In this connection, an investigation made some years ago by the United States bureau of education covering eight states, ranging from Connecticut to Idaho, gave overwhelming evidence against the health of the country as compared with the city. The city child in spite Of poverty, foul air and cramp- ed quarters, showed one-fourth the lung trouble of the country child The city child was even better fed than the country child, while in rural districts heart disease among the children was twice as frequent, curvature of the spine nearly four times as much, ear trouble five times, eye trouble four times, adenoids nearly three times and diseased tonsils nearly four times as frequent
 The reason for this condition is not far to seek The widespread inter of school children, free clinics fol remedying defects in children whose parents cannot afford to pay for medi- cal attention, the employing of public health nurses and the great education al campaign has as yet been largely confined 10 our cities While some 20( agents in Arkansas are devOting their whole time to instructing farmers how to raise better pigs and chickens, it is well to remember there are but two full time county health officers in the entire state, and less than dozeI public health nurses.
