IMPROVED HEALTH
FACILITIES URGED
Or. Fowler Indorses Report
on School Conditions From
D. c. Social Agencies.

Increased health facilities for the
public schools is recommended by Dis
trict Health Officer Fowler in re-
! port to the Commissioners today on
the proposed health budget submitted
by the Washington Council of Social
Agencies.
The proposal for more adequate
medical inspection in the schools Is
approved by the health officer, with
recommendation that an item be
included in the next annual estimates
covering such needs.
The budget favored by the council
calls for an annual increase in appro-
priations of $64.300. bringing the pro
posed annual total TO be spent in
school medical work in Washington
to S1.a.4 APO.
Effect of Increase Noted.
The increased appropriation would
provide 13 additional physicians. a su-
pervising nurse. eight additional den
tai operators. four new dental elm
les, two more clerks and So. 400 for
transportation of nurses instead of
the present average of two tokens
a day.
A suggested increase of S6l.544 in
the annual appropriation for child
hygiene work was characterized by
DR.. Fowler as. in his opinion. more
extensive than is actually needed at
the present time AS the service
grows. he said. II VIII be necessary
to have larger appropriation.
"Its was suggested to me at one Of
the meetingn of the council of Social
Agencies DR.. Fowler stated. that it
would be much better to endeavor to
obtain a smaller appropriation than
that carried in this special budget,
limiting the amount to be asked for to
approximately $4,000.
"FollOw.up" Work Needed.
with this sum it is proposed to estab-
lish one new child hygiene station and
employ one supervising nurse. and
four additional nurses, one to be as
signed to the new center and the
remaining three TO do follow-up work
for all of the centers.
Il might say that the appropria ton
bill just reported in the House carries
an item for S12 900 increase in this
child hygiene service
DR.. Fowler reported that an increase
in appropriations for "eyesight tests
in the schools. as recommended by the
council, would be highly desirable
The substance o. DIR. FOwler's
recommendations will be conveyed
today to the council.
