Moreover, the records of the examina- tion of school children for physical defects likely to interfere with proper growth and education must, if they are to serve their end, follow the child from grade to grade and from school to gchool, and each case must be followed up constantl that is, they are an important part of the school records and must be so made and administered, The authors firther point out that the -exclusion of cases of contagious disease is after all a comparatively small part of the work of medical in~ spection and they write that in cer- tain cities ‘‘the data showing that the proportion of cases requiring the ex- clusion on’ aceount of contagious. dis- ease does not exceed four per cent. of the school membership and this data “indicate that the portion of the .work falling within the purview of the department of health is specific and limited.

A professor, whose work is concerned only with municipal ad- ministration which subject he teaches in Columbia university, informs me that meflical inspection in cities works best where there is propef co-oper- ation between the school and health authorities. % To .emphasize co-operation again, I quote the authors of “Medical Inspee- ton ‘of. Scheols’’: One’'of the strongest ufiments in favor of ‘m al inspection under the authority: of boards of education: um- doubtedly is that efficiency demands that there shall be the closest co- operation between the medical and educational authoritfes. If the child- ren are to be benefited, if diligent effort is to be made to correct the de- fects found, if the physical conditions brought to view are to be used for the guidance of the teacher in the class room, then certainly such intimate re- lationships are essential. ' 7 A summary of the two paragraphs quoted at the beginning are set down by the authors in this manndr: (a) Medical inspection for the de- tection of contagious diseases may well be a function of the board of heajth. ¢ (b) Physical examinations for the detection of non-contagious defects should be conducted by the education- al authorities, or at least with their full co-operation, because they are made for educational purposes. (c) The records of phvsical exam- inations must be constantly and in- timately connected with school rec- ords and' activities. (d) They;do not need to be con- nected , with other work of the board of health. WILLIAM C. KRANOWITZ. Columbia School of Journalism, New York, March 27, 1917. TRACHONA, OR THE “BAD EflE." Expert Who Served in United States Custom Service Many Years Tells Interesting Story, Some Cases Here. New Britain, Conn., March 29, 1917. To the Editor of the Herald: May I ask space in your columns for the discussion of a matter which seems to me of vital interest to the residents of this city, and in fact of all cities, I refer to the existence among us of~the loathemil and con- tagious eye disease known as tra- chonia, or Egyptian opthalmia. I am informed by physicians that there are some forty to fifty cases in New Brit- ain, at the present time. The name trachonia appears to car- ry little significance to the average business men, no matter how well in- formed they may be on other mat- ters. I would refer them to the Cen- tury, the Encyclopedia Britanica, 6r any other good dictionary, for a tech- nical definition and it seems to me that after they realize what the® dis- ease really means, they cannot help being aroused to the importance of: endeavoring to bring it under con- trol. During ten years of service in the customs at the port of New York, I was assigned to the treasury depart- ment, and my first headquarters were at Ellis Island. It was there that I ‘became 'acquainted with trachonia, and deeply realized the dread and horror of the disease. I have seen many thousands of our new citizens arrive and depart from Ellis Island, and have watched them undergoing examination by the. physicians, ' for hours at a time. Trachonia is known among the immigrants as the ‘“bad- eye,” and if any one of them show the least part of it, back he, or she, goes te. the @ld country. .‘It_is the one thifig above all others that:bars the allen. this law are often deeply pathetic. I ‘have seen many such cases. Hus- ‘bands and wives, parents and chil- dren, brothers and sisters, no mat- ter what the tle of relationship, the one may come, but the other must g0. It may be a young couple on their honeymoon to the land where “all are rich,” who are suddenly part- ed: The tumble blight is upon her, the “bad-eye,”” and she may: not land. There are hundreds of such cases, for the law is inexorable. Those who are afflicted with it try again and yet agaln, at times when the ‘disease is somewhat in abeyance, often at other pprts of entry, but it is rarely of any use. It is the one point in Uncle Sam’s armour which he seeks to make invulnerable, It seems that trachonia is here with us, nevertheless, 'in spite of the rig- orous laws and constant vigilance, and we do not realize its deadly im- portance. | If we know that we had a leper ampng us we should be justly alarmed and aroused to immediate action. Is not the existence of forty to fifty cases of trachonia in the city suffi- cient to startle us. One case of long standing has come to my personal attention and I have been watching it for several weeks. I recognized it as trachonia when /T first saw it, and my opinion has since been confirmed by 'two eye specialists. This disease is originally caused by dirt and filth and is most prevalent s s ST SR A AT in so‘;ébmtem,numu 1t is incur- ablke @lé "Yiowily and’steadlly destroys’ the cye.'

I understand that a il called the ‘“‘sore-eye bill” came"Before -our legis- lature several vears ago, but was dropped, as most of the memibers had never heard of the disease and u derstood nothing of its seriousness. I am deeply interested in the mat- ter and my reason for thus asking your attention is to arouse the interest and ask the action of others. Will not gsome one who has the time take it up and see If it cannot be brought to the attention of our legislature once more? Personally, I would be glad to do anything in my power. A. M. B.
