Parents Often Isnovant. In some cases parents and teachers are ignorant of the conditions existing in the ecnildren under their charge and then there are cases in which the parents Knowing!y and heedlessly permit thefr children to go on and grow up defective Decause they have not thougnt sericusiy of the future of the child. There ls still another ciass who feel they cannot atford the medical or surgical ser- vices which the child may require. I beileve that at least an annual insj tion should be made of all chudren at- tending the public schgols and them such other examinations of individuals as may | be indicated by facts which may be ob- served by parents or teachers. My hope is that in Council Biuffs, the Board of Health and the Board of Edu- cation may jointly consider the subject of schoui inspection and if they deem best that they will call upon a board of phy: cians to mak® the proper examinations of the school children. I am certain that the members of the Council Bluffs Medical society will compe- tently do this work for one year in order to mve it a trial My suggestion such a medical board composed of men and women who are reputabie and capabie phy- siclans may meet with the boards of health and education aad outline & method of pro- cedure which Wil result in & system of physical examination of each, thereby ob- taining a history of the past and present condition which may be preserved as a matter of record and reference.

It should not be the aim or purpose of the examining physicians to primarily sug- gest or offer any treatment, as no case should be influenced to consuit other than their regular physician. The exception o this will be those cases whose parents can- not afford medical services and in such cases some provision should be made in order that the child may receive proper attention.

There will be found some cases which should be exci from the schools and from class association with other children and keeping @ record of them it will be gossibie (o ascertain when they are again fit to enter the schoois.
