~No Decter's Excuses"
I'm the few instances where the

"an explanatory blank was sent the
physician requesting the excuse. We
had 100 per cent cooperation from
every physician who recommended
activity suited to his patient"
Those students who were assigned
to a rest program were given reclin-
ing deck chairs and blankets and
frequently slept in the fresh air dur
ing their activity periods.
We have no doctors excuses with
the attendant abuses and morbid at
titudes at Calvin Coolidge" the re-

AS q sample of the changing atu-
tude in health matters, the report
cited the fact that, exclusive of
showers taken by athletic teams, an
average of 200 boys q day take
showers after activities.
In addition to the medical inspec-
ton, follow-up and physical ed
program, every student was given q
health knowledge and attitude test

showed basic Information in the
structure and function Of the body

course was set up with this In mind.
Health Council Created.
A nutritional study was made
showing the diet of q majority Of
the pupils to be 400 to 500 calories
less than their requirements.
In line with the recommendation
of the Board of Education for the
establishment of a health council in
the schools, one was set up at Cool
idge. These councils, consisting of
medical, faculty and physical edu-
cation teachers, keep constant watch
over students in clasSrooms, noting
performance and bringing the case
before the council for discussion
when anything wrong Is noted.
To extend this far reaching pro-
gram to every senior high school
would require an estimated increase
of 43 physical education instructors
and additional public health nurses
