to need only improvement in daily health habits, but 1,471 were con- sidered serious enough to be re- ferred to family physicians.
 In addition to the physical de- fleets, dental troubles were located in the mouths of 2,148 children, who were advised to see their fam ily dentist immediately. More than half of the children examined were given a dental prophylaxis by the staff hygienist.
 The aim of the summer round ups is to send children to school for the first time in as healthy condition as possible. The work was started in 1926 and continued every year since. Save in the larger cities where local health authori- ties take care of similar examina- tions, preparations for the round- ups are made in February and they are started in March. Plans include the registration of children who will enter school in the fall, the securing of headquarters for holding the eXaimnations, securing of volunteer services of local phys icians, arranging for transporta- ton. and arranging for necessary clerical services. Organization plans are sent out well in advance by the state department of health, so that the examinations may be planned and conducted in orderly fashion.
 The examinations include care ful checking of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, chest, heart, abdomen, feet and posture, as well as of the teeth and mouth.
 During the nine years of this statewide activity. 956 summer round-ups have been held and nearly 10000 children examined. Excellent results in better child health have been achieved through the round-ups and parents are showing an increased interest Tn them each year, the bulletin stated
 At the office of the local health department today it was stated that summer round-ups were held here on April 13 and May End. Mem. bers of the departments nurses staff and one of the medical school inspectors accompanied Dr A. E. Ingraham on her local examina- ton trips. :.
 Only two round-ups were held here during the past summer and both were arranged through the efforts of local Parent Teachers association. On the occasion of a visit to the Sprague school in Wa terville 40 youngsters were exam med April 18th. The usual minor defects expected were found in a number of children and health de- partment nurses have made recent visits to learn whether they had oeen corrected by family physi- tians.
 Data obtained in Waterbury was furnished the state health depart ment by Dr Edward J. Godfrey local health officer.

Since last March, 3,439 Connec- ticut children who will enter school for the first time next month have been given thorough physical and dental examinations at'1S2 summer roundrups, and de- fleets found have been referred to family physicians for correction, the state department of health an nounced in its weekly bulletin to- day. These examinations of chh- dren were offered to parents of the state by the parent-teachers asso- citations in cooperation with the de- partment.
 Although four more round-ups were conducted this year than las. year, the number of pre-schooi children examined was practically the same. The physical examina. tions revealed 3,617 defects. That many children had more than one defect is shown by the fact thaI there were 450 children with no defects at all. Many of these oe- fects were of such a character as
