Priesthood Clinic
Schedule Arranged

The County Health department ana
the Board of Education comparatively
have planned a schedule for pre-
school clinics and registration for new
pupils during the month of May
r. Bowen Hardesty, county super
intendent of schools, stated that it
was very important that all children
who plan to enter school next fall be
examined by a physician prior to
entry into school as the success of
the child in school depended to a
large extent upon his health.
DR.. Page Seekford, county health
officer, will be present at all pre-
school clinics, to examine children
who are entering school for the first
time. The latter pointed out that the
examination would be much more
valuable if one or both of the parents
accompany the child when examined.
At the same time those who have
not been immunized for diphtheria,
tetanus, whooping cough or smallpox
would receive their first injections. A
state law requires that all children in
Maryland be vaccinated against small
pox prior to entry into school.
Due to limited time, it was stated
that the health officer could not visit
every school, so where schools are not
listed parents were urged to take their
children to the nearest school appear
ing in the schedule.
Principals will be prepared to en-
roll the child for the coming school
year at the time of examination. a
child must be six years of age on or
before December 81, 1852, to be eli
giblc to enter school in September, it
was pointed out A birth certificate
or an affidavit must be presented to
the school principal at that time, Mr..
Hardesty said.
