Establishnient of a Bureau of School Hyglene in the District of Columbia der the Health Department is pro- in a bill_introduced today by esentative Begg of Ohio. The functions of this bureau would he to provide proper medical exami- nation for all pupils and teachers, to butldings and equipment, to supervise utrition classes, to give instruction ake sanitary inspections of school in hyglene, to prevent the spread of disease and to promote the health of he school children in various other w Mr. Begg said that the health of our children in the schools is of vital concern to every citizen and to every ltaxpayer. “That our schools have learned to landle effectively the mental training of our boys and girls is shown by the 20 per cent reduction in illiteracy throughout the country during the r period from 1880 to 1920,” Mr. stated. “We are proud, right- > of this achievement and of the development of the little red school- cuse of vesterday into our splendid modern system of public education. Money Needed for Health. But the slogan which calls for mil- ons of dollars for school buildings, but not an additional cent to safe- guard the health of children using these buildings, is not based upon ex- perience or upon common sense. In what way do we benefit by furnishing ational preparation to children who may never be able to take full advantage of the opportunities thus afforded because of physical handi- h might have been cured ly treatment? What of the il, educated largely at pub- lic expense, whose graduate studies ire cut short by defective vision? “Our experience in the World War forced home with inescapable logic he fact that great numbers of young men and women graduated from our public schools were suffering from marked physical defects, We were cked to read of the hundreds of hovs and young men who were re. jected because of flat feet, poor €ve- Sight, weak hearts, tuberculosis and other causes. Thus it was brought home to us that our system of public education must give consideration to health problems and must strive to extend and to conserve the health of the children in our public schools.” Capital Lags Behind. Mr. Begg cited the large amounts running from half a million n dollars, spent by city gov. ernments in this regard.
