Asi the nation becomes more en- lightened the public health service gaing in importance. Under the di- rection of Surgeon General Rupert Blue it is gradually extending its op- erations, so that now in widely scat- tered sections of the United States individuals are feeling its influence. Instead of a bureau it ought to be a department of the government. Its most important campaign now is against the hookworm disease of the south. But it has recently under- taken another great work in the task of conducting a sanitary survey of the streams which feed into the Ohio river. It is proposed to test the waters of these streams to determine scientifically to what distances the contamination of sewage is carried by flowing water, and the object is to set standards of pollution beyond which no community will be permit- ted by the federal government to tres- pass in the dumping of sewage in streams. It is the first time the federal gov- ernment has ventured to-invade the except in times of great extremity such as during-the yellow fever epi: demics along the gulf coast ten or more years ago. Public opinion, however, should stand solidly behind this extension of the activities of the federal health service. ‘Villages, towns, and cities, even states, are selfish. The federal govrnment acts for the welfare of all. Besides acting for the public health in this-direct, aggressive way, the bureau through its laboratory and fleld investigations and through the dissemination of its bulletins is becoming the source of the spread of modern ideas of social hygiene throughout this country. A recent publication prints a lecture on medi- cal inspection of schools delivered by one of the service surgeons, Dr. J. W. Schereschewsky, at the summer school of the South, University of Tennessee, at Knoxville, a few weeks ago. The school doctor and the: school nurse are to become equally import- ant units in the educational system with the school teacher in the future, according to Dr. Schereschewsky. The school physiciam will be a new type, a sociologist, recognizing economic He will be well paid. The nurse, trained in social hygiene, will be as familiar in every school building as the itiner- ant teacher of drawing or music. The school clinic will be as important a room as the manual training labor- atory or gymnasium. Better pay and smaller classes for teachers-are also important elements. $ The record of each pupil’s height and weight (meuasured periodically) will go down on his monthly report causes, and a doctor in one. card with his standing in arithmetic and deportment. There is a direct connection of all three, since recent studies have shown that mental de- velopment follows physical health, and bad deportment is often the re- sult of bodily infirmities. = Twenty per cent of all school children have defective vision, six or seven per cent are deficient in hearing: between 6o and 70 per cent of all American school children require. medical treatment for defects or Jiscases oft- ien unknown to parents.
