PHYSICAL DEFECTS
Public Health Service Nurse
Here for Three Weeks
Work in Public Schools.

Miss Edith Countryman, r. N,
and Mrs. Kathryn McCabe of Boise
arrived in Mountain Home Monday
for Health Inspection of the school
children.
This inspection is to determine
the development and present condi-
tion of the children. 1t includes

weighed, measured and compared
with the normal child, in order that
the parents may see where she is

how she may secure better results.
Is Non-Competitive.
The inspection is non-competi-
tive. 1t is intended for all chill
dren who, though apparently well,
are yet rarely found free from de-
feet. The discovery of such de-
fects at an early stage when they
may be easily remedied by proper
hygiene or medical care Is the chief
aim of the nurses inspection. If
defects are found which need medi-
cal treatment, the parents are ad-
yised to consult their own family
physician for complete examina-
ton.
This inspection is to include chill
dren who have any form of a
physical defect. The condition of
the eyes and vision are to have care
full consideration. Tests for hear
Ing will be given, abnormal condi-
tions for the nose and throat will be
noted, enlarged neck glands, posture
and faulty nutrition are among other
things which the nurses inspection
takes into consideration. Besides
--1tife physical inspection considerable
emphasis is to be placed upon the
habits Of the children.
The Modern Health Crusade will
be started in the grades, which is
continuation of last years health
program in the Mountain Home
school,
Finance Work by Sale.
The work the nurses will do in
the schools IS being financed by the
sole of the Christmas seals that were
sold in our town last Christmas.
Mountain Home will be entitled to
a three weeks demonstration in
school nursing and assistants are to
be used in order that more children
may have the benefit of this service
In the short time the nurse remains
in the schools A QUESTIONABLE will
be sent to the parents asking neces-
sary data and they will receive a
note in return as soon as the pupils
are inspected completely.
Special emphasis is to be given
this year to the Modern Health
Crusade movement and the monthly
weighing and measuring of the chill
dren of all grades.
The Weaver theatre gave the
children the opportunity of seeing
the Health Crusade film Monday
night. 1t was greatly appreciated
by the pupils and teachers and
many parents were present at the
showing of the film which really
emphasized Good Health Habits"

 'I do not believe it would be pos sible to pass bill providing for lhr building of a unit with $155 ,000 al ready appropriated even if I cou,d get a favorable committee repor' ] which is extremely doubtful.
