During the year 1920 the schools doubled in size but department. A system of school nursing has been o ized and tablished of which we can well be proud Gs the Good sesaten! obtained e its efficiency. In this system of; nursing {mn the schools our great aim is: ] To prevent disease among school children, ‘To correct such physical defects | as hinder the child's progress in | school. To instruct school children along | the lines of sanitation and hysi- ene. To teach health habits that are invaluable to the growing child. To create an active interest in public as well as personal health. | Throughout the school year each) school is visited every 48 hours by! the nurse and at @ certain signal of the bell all pupils who have been ab- sen} because of illness or have been recently exposed to contagion, all pu- skin eruptions, inflamed eyes, severe coughs, or colds, sore throat, or acute abnormal phusical) conditions of any kind, all new pu-| pils admitted since the last visit and all pupils who have been excluded by the nurse on their return to school are sent to the nurse for examina- tion. Of these visits, of which there were 55 lest year, 5,180 examinations were made. Out of this number there were one small-pox, two diphtheria, nine measels, 24 chicken-pox, 555 cases of ringworm, 57 scabies, 39 pediculosie, one impetigo, 260 con- junctivities, Of the number exam- ined 780 were treated in school, 926 were excluded tem} ly because of suspected contagion, 295 were admit- ted under observation and the remain- der were pupils with minor ailments of who had returned after an ill- ness and were examined before being allowed to remain in the classroom. Any pupil excluded from school and who does not return in a reasonable length of time is visited in his home by the nurse learn the cause of his continued ence and to ascer- tain whether or not he is receiving the proper medical attention. ‘We had only about 420 cases of in- fectious disease among the school children last year, and thanks to Dr. O'Donnell’s efficiency in quarantine work @ very small percentage were taken ill In school and@ these were dis- covered immediately and excluded. The remaining pupils in the room where a child-was taken {ll with an infectious disease were examined for symptoms of the disease and the room "fumigated.
