'BIGGER FUND ASKED FOR SCHOOL HEALTH | Chamber of Commerce Com- mittee Favors Extension of Inspection. A movement for extension of the pres- ent school medical inspection service in | the District has been started by the pub- lic health committee of the Washing- ton Chamber of Commerce, which yes- terday adopted a report of a special subcommittee urging an increase in the Appropriation in the 1931 budget for this work to $142,625. Early care of the health of children 1s a form of insurance that can not overlooked without serious consequences, it is held in the report. drafted by Miss Gertrude H. Bowling of the Instructive Visiting Nurses’ Society. It was de- clared that as the public school popu- lation increases the danger of disease transmission is increased. Further study should be given the question to the end that health promotion work among school children here be placed on a par with that of other large citfes, the committee urged. Co-ordination Is Tndorsed. The health committee of the cham- ber, of which Wallace Hatch is chair man, also indorsed the proposed co-or- dination of all Federal public health activities in adopting a report by Dr. A. C. Christie, and voted to enter the interchamber health conservation con- test recently announced by the United States Chamber of Commerce. The report on school medical in- spection service by Miss Bowling show- ed that Washington is far behind oth citles in this work. The report stated: “Eight years after Boston’s pioneering example in the safeguarding of the health of school children Washington secured the services of 12 part-time school medical inspectors. Six years after New York ploneered in furnishing school nursing service Washington fol- lowed suit by retaining five school nurs “During the 26 years that Washing- ton has had school medical inspectors the school population has more than doubled, but the number of doctors has Temained almost stationary. The num ber of school nurses, admittedly inade- quate at the start, has increased to 10 How can a thorough job possibly be done with 12 doctors and 10 nurses to serve 70,000 school children? Comparisons Are Shown, “A survey of school medical inspec. tlon work 1n cities comparable to Wash- ington made in 1926 showed that the average: number of school doctors in 23 cities was 23, w 10 more than sre in the Washington public schools. In 24 com- parable cities the average number of school nurses was 47, as compared with only 10 in Washington. In the same year Washington had 12 school dentists, | While the average in 13 comparable cities was 14 school dentists. “According to figures recesatly com- piled, Washington spends 88 cents per school child for health conservation work, as compared to an average of from $1 to $2¢in other large American cities. Reports from 20 cities showed that in 1925 they spent an average of $142,185 for school medical inspection. ‘This was rhore than $80,000 more than the Washington figure, which amounted to $67,120. in 1924-25. This amount il,l;sbeen only slightly increased since “In its budget request for 1931 the Health Department of the District has requested that the appropriation for These sandals are made of leather of an elasticity that assures ¢ o m- fort not usu- f ally found in(Sg a that may be woen _on the street. shoe In beige-and- white, beige- and-brown, beige and. color combi- nations, white, white- and-red, white-and- blue.
