Report Recommends
Continuation Of
Two Health Schools
Board of Educotion
Advisory Group to Act
On Proposal Soon +

The tuberculosis subcommittee Of
the Board OF Education,s Advisory
Committee on Handicapped Children
today had under consideration 4
report calling for indefinite con-
tinuation Of the two special health
schools for white and colored chill
dren with non-communicable tuber-
culosis.
The report was drawn up by Mrs.
Ernest R. Grant, subcommittee
chairman and managing director Of
the District tuberculosis Association,
and probably will be acted on by
the group at a meeting early next
month.
This is the latest development in
the problem of what to do with the
arrested tuberculosis cases. At
present the white children are being
taught in the Health School at
Thirteenth and Allison streets,
N. W., and the colored in the Toner
School, Iwenty-fourth and F streets,
N. w. Special open air rooms are
provided and special food is served
to help build up resistance.
Ruhland's Recommendation.
Health officer George c. Rutland,
however, has recommended the
abandonment of the schools and the
absorption of the pupils in the reg
ular schools. He also supported a
proposal that special rest facilities
and supplementary feeding be
provided in the regular schools.
Yesterday it was reported he ap-
proved continuation of the two
special schools pending provision
of these extra facilities in the other
schools.
In addition to the proposal to con-
tinue the schools, Mrs. Grants
report called for a replacement Of
the Toner School. which she de-
scribed as antiquated.
The report also recommended
chest examinations for all appli-
cants for teaching positions in the
schools and for periodic X-rays for
teachers. It asked the board to ap-
point committee to make definite
recommendations on this phase.
Other Suggestions.
Other proposals included investi-
CATION Of non-attendance of pupils
recommended to the health schools
and that supplementary feeding and
rest rooms be provided in each large
school building.
The schools should be maintained,
1t was suggested, both for children
showing signs of pulmonary activity
from positive tubercuin reaction
and for those dismissed from the
sanitorium as apparently arrested
cases but who need an adjustment
period before going back into the
regular schools or an observation
period to prevent reinfecuon.
Those attending the session in
Mrs. Grants ONCE yesterday when
the report was submitted were First
Assistant Supt of Schools Robert L
Haycock, Assistant Supt. A. K. Sa-
voy, and DR.. Joseph Murphy, medi-
cal inspector for the public schools
