Show . Lac:k of General Health Suptnisieo for the Children By D. W. Jessup There is one plu~se in the education of pupils in primary grades that is not given sufficient attention, t'his is, lack of health supervision in many of the public schools. Each year it is of common occurrence to read of an epidemic <Jf measles, chicken pox diphtheria, scarlet fever, mumps, or some other contagious disease that plays ,h!J.VOC among the ranks of the children. The pupil who becomes afflicted may or ~ may not be seriou~ly ill but a greater danger lies ftt the source of contagion to other children in the household or neighborhoo d with a spreading of an epidemic, often with disastrous results. Children may recover only to be permanently maimed with a weak constitution , some lingering illness or a serious affliction. Death occurs in families that otherwise would have escaped. To many people it has seemed an accepted f.act that a child must pass thr~JUgh a series of juvenile diseases, it is part of the ordeal of life. Of late years, the medical professi<m has entirely refuted this theory and insists that it is much better to keep the child away from illness than it is to allow him to suffer. When children congregate, there is always danger of passing disease from one to another especially true in a crowded 11chool roo:n with poor ventilation. This brings forth the questions, "why .should schools be known as the hot beds of contagion? Why subject the child to these insidious diseases? Why must the small ones at home or even the unborn babes be in danger because proper attention was not given before the diseases occurred? Certainly, it is much better to combat any sickness before it spreads and not wait un- _ til after. An efficient remedy is to have one or more nurses in constant attendance at each school building. Every pupil could be inapected at regular intervals and doubtful cases be thoroughly watched. A part !time phyaician would be of great assistance.

With a daily inspection by a registered nurse there is no doubt but that the epidemics could be greatly reduced. Even at the slightest provocation , a IJ)Upil could be isolated or sent home and thus protection be given to others. It is true that the small expense of medical supervision must be met by taxes just as other schooJ expenses are met but there should be no objection by the taxpayers or by members of the school board for care OJ{ the pupil's health. Some taxpayers p~int with glee to the neduction of school expenses; this is to be commended if extravagance or waste has been reduced. But when the saving has been made at the expense of the pupil's health then it is nothing but criminal neglect and should be treated as sueh. While millions of dollars are collected for the mental education of the child, only a small proportion is spent in looking after it's health. What good will this money be to a child who has suff<!red death tllrough a contagious disease caught at the schools? He is past the benefits of an education. The disease should be stamped ou.t before it is. fatal so that the child can be educated. Too often crowded quarters unsanitary conditions, neglect of the . . prepupil' and lack of health supemswn vail in ()rder to save a few dollars and practice false ~onomy. That sickness can be easily contracted in picture showS', crowded stores and in places where people congregate is readily kno.wn. Also m()thers, willingly or unwillingly, allow their sick children to pla~ with other children and thus spread disease. These conditions must be met with through other channels of education or even prosecution, though it does not belit.Ue the the :fact , that ·efficient results can be obtained dire!!tlY in the schools.
