ARE THEY READY TO EN-
TER SCHOOL ON TUESDAY?
Have the Children Been Vacci-
mated and Otherwise Prepared?

Jack and Elizabeth will start to
school in few days and their fam
lilies, like those of thousands of other
prospective frst-graders, are in the
midst of preparations for the event,
getting suits, dresses, and the rest of
the little outfits ready. A reminder,
from DR.. John S. Fulton, Director Of
the State Department of Health, of
even more necessary preparations
that should be made for these five
and six year Odds, follows:
eff you are going on an, important
Journey" he said, "you would take
your car to the nearest garage and
have it put in the best possible order.
Your small son or daughter is going
to start on the road to the three RS
this Fall. That road, as you will re-
call, is full of ups and downs, but the
grades can be made most easily and
comfortably by the child who has
been safeguarded by the right sort
of attention to his physical machinery.
"Be as careful of your boy or girl
as you would of your car. 1t you have
not already done it, take him or her to
your doctor for a thorough going
over. Pay especial attention to the
weight, whether over or under par;
to the posture; have the eyes tested
for vision, the ears for hearing and
the throat and teeth carefully exam
ined. Attention to these essentials
now may prevent wreckage along the
road later on. And don't forget that
no child can be enrolled in our Mary
land schools who has not been vacci-
mated against smallpox"
What the Examinations Disclosed.
A report from the Bureau of Child
Hygiene of the State Department OF
Health, of the child health conferences
held throughout the State, under the
auspices of the Bureau, during the six
months ending June 80, shows that
1909 children under seven years old
were brought to these conferences
for a complete physical examination
One out of every three-a total of
1065-was free from any menacing
handicap. Of the rest, $50, or one out
of every six was underweight and
therefore under par. "Faulty pos
ture" was entered against rs; "heart
disease" threatened 46. One out OF
every four-a total of 998-had de-
cayed teeth or teeth otherwise in need
of dental care. Almost as many-902
had questionable looking threats
with enlarged or infected tonsils; 13f
were mouth breathers, $50 had ade-
noids; 60 responded poorly to the eye
tests and 48 had defective hearing
Every child in need of follow-up care
was referred to the family doctor.
