THE HEALTH OFFICERS REPORT

ii-1A-i1 a VT IIERS hEfORl
1t has come to the knowledge of
the medical profession within the
last few years that many conditions
and diseases, namely, inflammation
of the heart, kidneys, joints, glands,
and nerves( are due to focal infect
ions, so called, and the more common
foci of infection are diseased ton
sis, adenoids, and decayed teeth,
with which SO many of our school
children are afflicted
The examination of recruits for the
army showed that about II (25ge)
of the men or draft age had defects
that disqualified them for active ser
vice. Onehalf of these defects could
have been prevented and the other
hlaf lessened if they had been examin
ed and treated during school age.
1t is generally true that rural
children have more defects than city
children because, l suppose, it is
easier for the latter to see the doctor
ana dentist OIJenef.
When a school child is properly
examined, not is taken of the follow
ing conditions; Sight; hearing; thoat
and nose, for tonsils and adenoids;
the hair; skin; hands and feet, for
defects; heart; lungs; general nutrit-
ion; height and weight.
The following table, based on the
examination of 100000 school child
rem, gives the percentage of children
showing defects:
Teeth, 600
Vision, bad eyesight) $3.50
Adenoids and enlarged tonsils, 300
Malnutrition, 25ae
0rthopedic Defects, (Flat feet, cur
vature of the spine, etc. $50
tuberculosis, $50
Heart weakness 2Go
Now compare the above with con-
ditions actually found within our own
county of Barbour. The children of
four schools in Elk District, and at
Volga and Century were examined
with the following results:
Vega, rural settlement, 40 children
examined:
49Mi From 6 to SO lbs. Underweight |
87ac Diseased Tonsils.
$40 Decayed Permanent Teeth
Century, mining settlement, 81
children examined:
1890 from to SO lbs. underweight.
az Diseased Tonsils.
1890 Mouth Breathers.
23%Decayed Permanent Teeth.
l child with tubercular discharge
from ear; chronic.
child with very bad heart lesion.
A children with SYMPTOMS of kidney
disease.
Elk School, Rural, 81 children ex-
amined:
5000 with diseasedtonsils
500 with decayed teeth.
1870 mouth breathers.
/ child found with an acute in
lection OF arm That required lmmed1- /
ate surgical attention, which owing to |
this examination was secured at once,
with good results.
Now, think this over, for it applies
to every community in the County.
Does it not appear from the above
that it is about time to have your
children looked after?
