HEALTH IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The following is an address prepar-
ed by Miss Ida Stephenson, Pleasant
vile School Nurse. and delivered be
fore the Atlantic County Council OF
the Parent Teachers association last
Saturday:
In order to know how Medical In
spection and School Nursing original.
ed in our Public Schools | will ask
you to think back to the war between
England and the Beers. The begin
ming OF this war, to the establishment
OF the whole world, was marked by
an almost unbroken series of victories
for the Beers. The English govern
ment sent all its available troops to
South Africa, until it had two hundred
and fifty thousand men in the field,
more than in any previous war in
which England had been engaged.
After two and one-half years of guer-
lila warfare, all hostilities were sus-
pended and the remaining Boer troops
agreed to give up further resistance.
After the hard won victory, England
was puzzled over the apparent physi-
cal weakness OF her troops and decid-
ed 10 begin at the very bottom TO dis
over the reason. Physicians were
established in the schools and each
child given a thorough medical exam
ination. The work was found to be
so extensive that nurses were EN-
ployed as assistants and since thai
time it has spread rapidly in all en-
~lightened countries, as people more
and more have been brought TO rea-
lie that the welfare of the children
means the welfare OF the nation.
Since its introduction into the u. S.
in 1894, nearly all The states have
passed laws making Medical lnspec-
ton in schools State wide in its appli-
cation.
The function OF the school nurse is
threefold. She assists in the proven
ton of contagion and in the correction
of physical defects, and is responsible
for the education of children and
sometimes of their parents, in the
principles of personal and public
hygiene. Pupils in each class are ex-
amined about every other month.
The eyelids, throat, skin and hair of
each pupil are examined and the gen
eral condition as regards cleanliness,
nutrition, etc, noted.
The principal defects met with are
decayed teeth. defective vision, en-
larged %tonsils. and adenoids. For
these and other remedial conditions
noted a physical defect card or notice
is sent to the parents, calling atten-
ton TO the defect and advising that
the child be taken TO a physician, a
dentist or ~dispensary as the case may
call for. II the child is not placed
under treatment within a reasonable
time, the nurse visits the home to
learn the financial condition of the
family and the reasons for failure to

Mainland Post, No. 81, defeated the
Ocean City branch of the American
Legion in the high school gym. Thurs
day evening of last week by the score
of 1925. II. Miller was the bright
light of the evening, by putting in 8
field goals and six out of his seven
chances from the free mark. Payne
also played well, and his team work
was one of. the features of the game.
Ocean City brought over Ross Fergu-
son. the Ocean City High School star.
and he made himself felt to the tune
of 5 field goals and a few foul throws.
The American Legion team has been
going at a fast pace during the last
few games and should have a good
chance for the city championship. To
win this, however, High School and
the Regulars both have to be over
come. Both of these teams are good
and Post No. 81 will have TO step to
take the laurels. The line up:

to advantage.
During the first half things We're
pretty even, with the score standing
12-14 in favor of the home team.
During the last half Narberth ~resorted
to long shots, and due to these she
won the game. 1t was one of the best
games seen here for some time. Both
teams guarding was almost perfect,
very few close shots entering the bas-
ket. The home team was o~utscOred
from the court 1875, but Tripician's
superior foul shooting always kept
them in running. In the closing min
utes of play Narberth resorted TO sev-
eral long shots which resulted in "tur-
