YEAR ENDED JUNE 30th, 1935
1936.  Provincial Board of Health,
Victoria, B.C., January 31st, 1936.
The undersigned has the honour to present the Report of the Medical Inspection of Schools
for the year ended June 30th, 1935.
Provincial Secretary.  REPORT ON MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS.
Sir,—Herewith I beg leave to hand you the Twenty-fourth Report of the Medical Inspection of Schools for the Province of British Columbia.
At the beginning of the year we are reporting, we were looking forward to a year of
progress in all branches of public-health work, and we are very pleased indeed to be able to
say that not only in our school-work, in our health units, but in the different branches of the
public-health work, particularly the dental and tuberculosis work, we have made not only a
remarkable progress, but have laid the foundation, which is most important, of providing for
an extension of the work not only in the lines mentioned, but in other branches of the work.
Progress in public-health work is not spectacular. It is a slow uphill progress with many
angles to consider, and particularly to endeavour to present our subject to the general public
in such a way that we will receive their unanimous support.
Whilst the work in British Columbia has been, to an onlooker, probably slow, yet to those
interested and to those who understand the difficulty of influencing the public opinion we
can look back to a solid foundation upon which to build our future work, and the impetus that
we have received from yourself, Sir, augurs well for the enlargement of the present work and
brings to those immediately concerned the pleasant prospect of seeing your visions materialized.
We have adhered strictly to our basic principle; that is, prevention of disease. We do
not expect to change the life-habits of adults, but we do know that we are training the rising
generation in the steps that they should follow in regard to themselves, and also in regard to
their relation to not only their surroundings, but particularly to the influence of one upon
another. This process is accomplishing much, not only in bringing about the results that we
are hoping for, but particularly is the influence of this work upon the younger members of the
family redounding to our benefit from the fact that " out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
shall come forth perfected praise." It is this demonstration of the beneficial effects upon
the younger generation that the influence on their elders is showing such an effect that it
becomes probably more easy to secure the attention of the adults.
We have centred our public-health teaching-work on the populace, using the schools as a
basis. It is the best approach to the home, and the counsel given the parents is illustrated by
the children of the family as examples of what can be done when the rules and regulations
of the improvement of the daily life of the pupil is shown.
We dealt in our last Annual Report with the criticisms that arise from isolated cases which
are held up as horrible examples. While the reports from the different schools show a continuance of defects, yet it must be remembered that we are continually adding to our school population, and in the entering class a few years ago we found the existence of defects which were
allowed to continue until the pupil entered school. In order to correct this, we have instituted
our " well-baby clinics " and have induced the mothers to bring their children not because they
are ill, but in order that they may be advised as to how to keep the child in a healthy state.
The incipient defects are discovered and corrective measures brought about by the parents
following the advice given by our public-health nurses, or public-health teachers as we prefer
to call them. The result of this is shown in the fact that we have averaged about 40 per cent,
of correction of defects of the entering classes.
The people who really understand the worth of this work are the teachers who have the
daily care of their pupils. The correction of the defects has allowed the mental qualities of
the pupils, which had been overshadowed by the physical defects, to show that our children
are not, as some have said, backward, but are possessed of more than average ability.
We have been able to save the child needless absence from school when exposed to infection, by allowing him to attend during the incubation period of such infection, which, of course,
redounds to the advantage of an uninterrupted teaching-year. Where a child is absent through
sickness or from infectious disease for three to five weeks, a teacher will tell you that that year
is practically lost to the child.
To show that we are carrying this out, I would append a table showing the increase in
attendance for the past ten years, and it is illuminating to notice that for three years previous CC 6
to the introduction of the full-time Health Unit in charge of the schools, the average attendance
has jumped from 81.92 to 92.73 per cent, for last year.
This is a repetition of figures which we have published from time to time, and the present
table shows that since the inception of our work the average attendance has not fallen below
92 per cent., as against 81 per cent, previous to our work.
The establishment of our full-time Health Units for public-health work in the community
is demonstrated by the results that we are obtaining from these same full-time Health Units
in different parts of the Province, and I have much pleasure in appending a report from the
full-time Medical Health Officer in the Peace River country.
The Peace River country is a district lying in the north-east section of the Province, consisting of a very large area, with a population of about 9,000 and a school population of about
1,300. This district is shut off in regard to transportation and communication with other
districts. The general facilities were such as is found in a new slice of country, which may
be described as absolutely of the pioneering type without close connection with the other parts
of the Province. Recognizing these shut-in conditions, it was determined to put in a full-
time Health Unit with a complete staff.
I can refer you to the accompanying report from Dr. Cull to show what can be done by
beginning with a full-time trained staff and a new territory, and the amount of work is shown
by the account given of the divisions of the work and the subjects which are dealt with.
We are particularly proud of the success of our dental clinics. This work, which shows
an immediate result of the treatments given, is a practical demontration that the people appreciate. There were no dentists in the district, but immediately following the introduction of
the Unit there shows that, out of the 1,300 school-children, 1,005 were treated.
To the thoughtful parent, the figures that are given in this report must convey a very
sound argument indeed of the policies that have been adopted by the Government.
PEACE RIVER HEALTH UNIT.
Pouce Coupe, B.C., January 14th, 1936.
Dr. H. E. Young,
Sir,—I beg to present herewith the first annual report of the Peace River Health Unit.
In view of the fact that this Unit has only been in operation for four months, this report shows
a smaller amount of work done under certain headings than would otherwise be expected.
Much of the time has been spent in organization-work, learning the peculiarities of the country, studying the problems involved, and getting some of the major phases of the programme
started on a firm footing. MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS, 1934-35.
HEALTH UNIT ORGANIZATION.
The Peace River Health Unit was organized during the summer of 1935 and started work
on September 1st, 1935. It replaced the two part-time Health Officers who had been doing the
work in the past; and two district nurses who had been here previously were taken on the
staff. The population served is estimated as 9,000, with a school population of approximately
The personnel of the Unit consists of a Director, who is Health Officer and School Medical
Inspector for the Peace River District; four full-time Public Health Nurses, who carry out
a generalized public-health nursing programme, including school-nursing. No routine bedside-
nursing is carried on by the Health Unit staff. In addition to this there are three part-time
co-operating nurses, located in the more isolated parts of the district, who take charge of the
school-nursing in these areas. The full-time personnel co-operate with these other nurses
in an attempt to give as full a nursing service as possible to the people of these more distant
All full-time members of the staff have Unit cars for summer travel and arrangements
are made for the use of team and driver for winter travel.
These members have all received training in public health, as has also one of the
co-operating nurses.
The Unit is also able to obtain the services of members of the B.C. Provincial Police to
act as Sanitary Inspectors in the area served.
The organization here differs somewhat from the usual Health Unit, in that it is closely
related to and linked up with the Department of Education. The Inspector of Schools, who
is the representative of the Department of Education and also the Official Trustee for the
schools under the Consolidation Scheme, acts as Business Administrator of the Health Unit.
As such he controls the financial and business transactions of the Unit, and this gives the
Medical Director a little more time to devote to field-work.
The annual budget is approximately $13,000, one-quarter of which is furnished by a grant
from the Rockefeller Foundation. A considerable sum of money was saved by the consolidation of schools under the Official Trustee, and this has been turned over to the Unit budget
by the Department of Education. In addition to this there is the usual grant towards the
nurses' salaries from the Department of Education, the rest of the budget being supplied by
HEALTH UNIT OFFICES.
The district in which the Unit is located is essentially a frontier country and the settlements are widely separated, with only a few people in each. As a result it was found
necessary to locate each full-time member of the staff at a different site which was more or
less central to the area covered. To offset this, monthly conferences are held between the
Director and the various nurses to discuss the work, make plans for the future, and discuss
any suggestions or criticisms in regard to the service as at present constituted. Thus there
are really four divisional offices (nurses), located at Dawson Creek, Progress, Rolla, and
Fort St. John, with the main office in the Director's residence at Pouce Coupe. All these
offices are convenient to the practising physicians. The Unit staff assists the local hospitals
in an advisory capacity when necessary.
GENERAL HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.
The general health of the community has been good. The high altitude and rigorous
climate, with an abundance of fresh, dry, smoke-free air, coupled with the fact that there
is only a small amount of intermingling between the various districts, probably accounts for
From our experience so far it would appear that this country is singularly free from the
ordinary communicable diseases. To date chicken-pox is the only one that has come to light
since the Unit has been in operation. There were only nine cases in all and isolation and
quarantine readily controlled the spread of this disease.
The south-east corner of our district is in rather close communication with the border
towns of Alberta and gives an opportunity for the spread of communicable disease, but
although poliomyelitis was present in Northern Alberta last fall we were extremely fortunate
in that none reached this district. CC 8 BRITISH COLUMBIA.
So far no cases of typhoid fever have been reported.

In a country such as this, where settlers and trappers may be miles away from their
nearest neighbour, the registration of vital statistics is poor. As part of our programme we
are stressing the importance of notification and registration, and particularly the registration
As the population is only very approximate and reported figures very uncertain, rates
are of little value. The following figures are given for what they may be worth, and are
for the whole of 1935, in order to form some comparison with subsequent reports:—
(Population, 6,000  (approximate).)
Total Births, Deaths, Still-births, and Marriages, 1935.—Births, 144; deaths, 34; stillbirths, nil;  marriages, 33.
Tuberculosis Deaths (all Forms).—Three.
Infant Mortality.—Number of live births, 144; number of deaths under 1 year, 6; rate
per 1,000 live births, 41.7.
Infant Mortality by Causes of Death.—Diseases of the digestive system, 1; diseases of
the heart, 3;   Caesarean section, 1;  meningitis (T.B.), 1.
Deaths by Ages.—Of the 34 deaths, the greatest concentration occurred in the 40-59 year
group, in which there were 6, and in the 60-79 year group, in which there were 9.

Infant Mortality.—Number of live births, 65; number of deaths under 1 year, 4; rate
per 1,000 live births, 61.5.
Deaths by Ages.—No apparent age-group concentration in this area.
INFANT AND CHILD WELFARE.
This is one of the fields in which a great deal of our time has been spent so far; not only
because it is a valuable and important phase of our programme, but because it is an excellent
means of showing the people the type of work we are here to do and some of the results that
may be expected. The Public Health Nurses have done an excellent piece of work in this
(a.) Pre-natal and Infant Welfare.—With the exception of the two districts where nurses
were working before, no work of this nature had previously been done. Now this work is
extended to the whole district. Permission has been obtained from the local physicians to
visit their pre-natal cases. Also, we have been fortunate in being able to secure the names
of all pre-natal cases from the Relief Officer, where the family is on relief. As a result there
are very few pre-natal cases now that are not visited by the district nurse. The idea of
periodic medical examination and urinalysis is entirely new to these people and is being
constantly stressed by the nurses. More and more pregnant women are asking the nurses
for advice and are learning the value of it.
The names of all reported pregnant women and mothers of infants are sent to the
Provincial Board of Health for the monthly letters. We are seeing the results of these and
they are greatly appreciated by the mothers.
No well-baby clinics have been held yet, but they will start in the first month of the New
Year. MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS, 1934-35. CC 9
Pre-natal visits, 66; infant-welfare visits, 146; infants examined, 20.
(&.) Preschool.—This phase of our programme has been constantly stressed since we
started here; at any meetings which the Unit members are addressing this age-group is always
brought up and an attempt made to show the importance of examination and treatment for
a child of this age. Arrangements have now been completed and we intend to hold pre-school
clinics simultaneously with our well-baby clinics beginning next month.
Pre-school visits, 120;   pre-school examinations, 35.
(c.) School.—This part of the programme takes up a great deal of the time of the
personnel, not only because of the examinations, but also because of the difficulties of transportation and the distance to be covered. However, I still feel that the time spent on it is justified.
In some of the outlying districts the children and parents have not seen a doctor for two or
three years; while in others they only see one at the time of the annual school examination.
This makes an excellent occasion on which to discuss and talk over many health matters, and
to answer the eager questions of the parents, and the advice given is certainly appreciated.
The school programme is very broad and includes practically every phase of recognized
procedure, except class-room teaching by the nurses.
Owing to the location of many of the schools the nurses are not able to see all the absentees
before they return, but the co-operation secured from the teachers has been very good.
The teeth of the school-children had been terribly neglected in the past and had resulted
in the premature loss of many six-year molars and other permanent teeth, as discussed in the
separate dental report submitted.    The work done at the dental clinics will be discussed later.

FOOD-CONTROL.
So far little time has been spent on this phase of our programme, but in the near future
a plan of regular inspection of milk, dairies, butcher-shops, etc., will be worked out.
Needless to say, raw milk is the common thing in this district, but boiling and home-
pasteurization is being continually urged.
In the past drinking-water for the schools has been obtained from a variety of doubtful
sources—dams, creeks, sloughs, melted snow, etc. We are endeavouring to have them all
use river-ice, which is cut in the winter and stored for future use. In this regard we are
extremely fortunate in having the schools consolidated, as any suggestions made to the
Official Trustee are readily acted upon.
The dry toilet or privy is the main method of sewage-disposal in this district. In a very
few of the better homes there is a chemical toilet, but these are few and far between.
At every opportunity we try to educate the people in regard to the proper construction
and care of these outdoor privies in an attempt to avoid fly-borne infection. This education
is being started with the school-children in the hope that they may carry home some of the
In the next few months it is expected that a multiple system of chemical toilets will be
installed in the largest school of the district, at Dawson Creek.
(1.)   Well-baby and Pre-school Clinics.—These will begin next month.    Owing to transportation difficulties they will not be held regularly, but will take place at appropriate times
in the various centres of the district. CC 10
(2.) Toxoid and Vaccination.—Vaccination is done at the schools at the time of the
medical examinations. A considerable amount of toxoiding and vaccination has been done in
the past and at present we are just getting the areas listed where little or none has been done.
It has been interesting to note the number of people among the anti-vaccinationists who accept
toxoid inoculation without a doubt as to its value.
(3.) Chest Clinic.—This district has never been favoured with a visit from the Chest
Clinic, but we are making special note of the children in this regard and tuberculin-testing
will be started shortly in the hope that in 1936 we will be visited by the Provincial Chest
(4.) Dental Clinics.—We were extremely fortunate in having two full-time dentists from
Vancouver appointed for the months of September and October. These men, assisted by the
Unit personnel and local committees, held clinics at five centres south of the Peace River.
North of the river the clinics were held in the individual schools. These clinics were primarily
for school-children, but many pre-school children were also treated. Where transportation
was not available the Unit cars were used.
The teeth of the children were in very poor condition and the visit of the dentists proved
a great boon to this community, and their services and work were greatly appreciated. Also,
it was an excellent way of introducing the Health Unit and its work to the people of this
district. Many of the children had neither seen nor heard of a dentist before and their
remarks re dentists and dentistry were very amusing at times.
The figures for the two months' work are shown below:—■
Number transported by Unit personnel, 250;   males treated, 522;   females treated, 483.
These services are supplied free by the Provincial Board of Health Laboratories in Vancouver for public-health specimens.
We hope in the near future to have a small public-health laboratory at Dawson Creek in
connection with the local hospital there, where a limited amount of work can be done.
A small public-health library is being developed in the Director's office for the use of the
Unit personnel and the medical profession. As there is no allowance for this in the budget,
it is at present being supplied by the Director. The usual public-health magazines and
periodicals are supplied in this way and by the Provincial Board of Health.
REACTION OF THE PUBLIC TO THE HEALTH PROGRAMME.
The support and co-operation of the general public with the Health Unit and its programme have been very good. The people have been urgently in need of such a service and
they appear very grateful for what has so far been done. It would seem that the school
examinations in the past have not been as thorough, in some cases, as at present and in many
of the schools the parents were never invited. They appreciate the opportunity of coming to
the school and talking over with the Director and the nurse many health matters in regard to
their children and themselves. More parents each month are bringing their pre-school children
and infants with them to the schools, and a whole family is then examined at one time.
All the nurses report that improved dental hygiene is strikingly apparent on visiting
the schools, and that both children and parents are very interested in dental talks and are
taking better care of their teeth—this as a result of the dental clinics. Also, the number of
children absent because of toothache has decreased considerably. MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS, 1934-35. CC 11
The Unit co-operates with and receives close co-operation from the Official Trustee, the
Relief Officer, the B.C. Provincial Police, and many local organizations.
The medical profession in general have given good support to the Unit personnel.
We wish to sincerely thank the above and all others who have helped to make our work
To the Provincial Board of Health and the staff go our sincere thanks and appreciation
for their co-operation and helpful assistance which is at all times so freely given.

Director, Peace River Health Unit.
The table at the end of this report, preceding the general tables, will show that there was
last year a decrease in the percentage of defects of 5.88 per cent, among the pupils of the
rural schools, and when you consider that the facilities for correcting these defects are those
common to a sparsely settled district, we consider that this is a very good argument indeed
for the continuance and increase of our work.
The changes proposed in the education-work which has been given effect to in particular
in two large districts—the Peace River and the Sumas-Matsqui-Abbotsford area—and which
is based on establishment of an Official Trustee in place of the School Boards, has given us a
splendid opportunity to carry out our work.
I have already referred to the Peace River country. The schools in the Matsqui-Sumas-
Abbotsford District have been thoroughly examined medically, a Public Health Nurse established, and dental work carried out after a general survey of all the pupils in this district.
The experience that we have gained from this demonstration opens a vista which we trust will
be developed, and with all due respect to local School Boards we find that where the Government has practically paid for these demonstrations, which have been carried out without
reference to local organizations, it has resulted in a remarkable advance in the way of the
demonstration of what we can do, and the pre-existing School Boards are perfectly satisfied CC 12
with the developments that have been brought about, and especially in regard to the health
In our Annual Report for the Department we will give full accounts in regard to our
new and expanding work of treating tuberculosis. We are carrying out a plan of testing
our school-children as to the existence of tuberculosis. The care of the tubercular patient,
which is always a focus of danger, is being looked after. The Province has been divided into
districts presided over by a full-time Tuberculosis Officer, with public-health nursing assistance, and portable X-rays. Each district is patrolled continually in order to find the " open
case " in the home from which the infection arises. By meeting the existence of this disease
in the beginning and providing for those who are infected, we have made probably one of the
greatest advances in public-health work that has been made in the Dominion.
