popular with the poorer people Of
the city are sponsored by q group Of
club women, nurses and physicians
of the city, the names of whom are
withheld at their own request. Chill
dren of school age are examined for
defects free of charge and this action
on the part of the experienced hands
in charge has greatly lessened the
diseases among school children since
