At the last meeting of tho South Caro lina Medical Association, held at Rock Mill. April 13, 1913, the asso ciation \oted unanimously to exam ino all pupils free of charge. The Oconee Department of Ed nea t ion, re alizing the supreme importance of such a measure, has requested each physician of the county individually to assist in a campaign to establish medical inspection in the rural schools. The heartiness of the con sent was gratifying. The plan adopted for the present is to have each board of trustees ask tlie doctor who practices in their dis-I trict lo inspect their school. Ol'| course tin* doctor will appoint any i time that is convenient for him, The cards to be used for the examination have been printed and may be ob tained, at the request of the trun tees, from Miss Annie Mc.Mahan, Richland. Tho following extract from the South Carolina State Board of Health Bulletin No. 8, contains reasons and instructions for medical inspect ion. .Medical Inspection of Schools. ( Hy E. A. Hines. M. I).. Member State Hoard of Health, Seneca, S. C.) "Medical inspection of schools is an entirely new departure for the Southern States, and especially is this true of South Carolina. This asser tion doesn't mean that we deserve great credit for the efforts thus far made, but rather to the contrary. Be fore proceeding, however, to prove the truth of the latter statement, let us consider briefly what is meant by medical inspection of schools. i "According to modern ideas every school c hild has the right to demand j of the State a reasonable assurance' that the course of training prescribed by the State shall not prove detri mental, hut. conducive to health and I happiness and good citizenship. To ! render this ideal mos. probable of attainment requires the addition of a competent physician to every school in an advisory capacity on all hygienic matters. Such a physician will advise, after careful observation of each pupil, not only proper hy gienic rules of healthful living, but will also detect incipient or chronic diseases, deformities, vicious habits, Record of .Medic.

This advice often Involves the co-operation of tho family physician, dentists, and eye and ear, nose and throat socialists, as well as the hearty support of parents, teachers anil all school authorities. "As ordinarily carried out, thc medical inspector, assisted by a trained nurse or tho teacher, care fully examines into the sanitation of tho school building and grounds BUCh as lighting, heating and ventila tion: also the seatin.c capacity and character of tho same The pupils aro usually brought before the medi cal inspector and nurse four at a time, and without undue exposure of tho person, Bach pupil is carefully examined for any possible detect which will in any way prove an ob stacle in future development. The nurse records each defoe! and the same is called to the attention of the parent, who is urged to have the family physician see the case at once. The children, as a rule, enjoy these examin?t ions, and thus seldom otter anv objections. "The Southern Stales have been behind almost all the res? of the countries of tho civilized world In in troducing medical inspection of school?. It lias behn in vogue for many years In the following coull-i tries: !"iau.c, Germany, Engalnd, Switzerland, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Argentina, Russia, Bulgaria and Ron mania. In most, of these countries the system is enforced by legal en actment. "In our own country, Boston (in 181)1) made tho llrst effort, and Mas sachusetts, in 10 0?), passed a manda tory provision ( 1 ) for the detection of contagious diseases at schools, and (2) for tho annual examination of children (a) by physicians for non contagious physical defects, and (b) by teachers for defects of eyesight and hearing. There are four or five other States with somewhat similar laws, and probably a hundred cities and towns of the North add West, engaged in this work. New Orleans was the first Southern city to take active steps lu this direction in 1008, and Atlanta in l'JOS and 1909. In South Carolina the complete modern idea was Inaugurated in the Seneca Graded and High Schools, September 23, 100!). In the Seneca schools the examination was conducted by two general practitioners of medicive and surgery, two dental surgeons and one eye and ear, nose and throat spe cialist, a secretary and the teacher of each grade.
