Child Training In
Health Rules Duty
OF School And Home

Preparing children to live hap
py, useful lives by teaching them
the basic principles of good
health and helping them to form
sound health habits is a funda-
mental responsibility shared by
teachers and parents, according
to DR.. r. G. Lowery, supervisor
of the teacher training program,
School Health Service.
Every teacher of experience
has had to spend much time try
ing to help the child who was
doing poorly in his work because
of some defect which might have
been corrected" said DR.. Low
.rey. "The child's years in school
will not be spent to the best adj
vantage unless he is physically
able to make the most OF his ed
ucation. No matter how good
are his grades, no matter how
fine the building in which he
goes to school, he will be unnec-
essarily handicapped unless he
has learned the principles OF
wholesome living and formed
good health practices as a part
of his educational foundation"
Recognizing this, stated Dr.
Lowrey, many schools provide
the best environment they can
afford, which includes among
other things effective ventilation
in the classroom, proper light
ing, a safe and abundant drinking
water supply, adequate hand
washing facilities, cleanliness
and orderliness Of the school
plant, seats adjusted to the size
of the pupils, safety and fire
protection and as much beauty
of rooms and grounds as posi-
Bile.
DR.. Lowrey called attention to
some of the services provided
for school children in those coun-
ties having a fulltlme health de-
partment, such as examination oil
children entering school for the
first time, of those transfers
from other schools who do not
have full health records, and OF
those children referred to the
health officer by teachers OF
school officials because of some
health problem. Continuous
health records, including results
of examinations are kept, SAID
DIR. Lowrey, and parents are
given explanations in the form
of written notices or visits to
the home when advisable.
