( SANITARY SCHOOLS. < When careful investigation is re- ; quired into any matter of public im- ( portance, it is more likely to occur in C a large city than in tha smaller com- f munities for several reasons, not the least of which is the availability of the y requisite funds and the larger impot- b taacs of such questions where there are I the larger number of people to be ef- } feeted. In our larger city. New York, d Investigations into public school mst- } ten are constantly going forward, from I all angles and upon many features of J school administration. The matter of c sanitary conditions and medical inspec- ( tion have naturally received a great I deal of attention and the deductions c made are as applicable and as true of ( the smallest school ss of the largest, j As a result of the investigations al- r luded to the statement is made that: v The most serious ills of school chil- , dren result from imperfect seating, e lighting, ventilation, and sanitation c i schoolhouses. Poor lighting and the improper placing of chairs will affect the condition of the eyes. Dr. Cronin of New York says that out of 850,000 " school children examined 28 1-2 per cent were backward because of defects of " eye, ear, nose, or throat .which could , easily be remedied and perhaps pre- * vented through proper medical inspec- " tiion. It has been proved that when , these children are properly eared for . there has been a marked improvement " in their school work and general conduct. Dr. Osier calculated that in New t, . York there was, on account of a lack of a medical supervision of educational work, t a yearly financial loss of $1,686,668. d The loss which comes from moral devia- o tion due to this defective physical functioning is, of course, of far greater importance. I In the matter of ventilation, the edu- 1 cational authorities need the advice of a physician or sanitary engineer. Dr. I Newton reports the case of an old, unhygienic school building in a small town <J fitted up with a ventilating system, with the result that the cost of improve ment was saved in a abort time in salar- I ies that otherwise would have been paid to extra teachers for taking the places I of those made sick by the foul air of the biulding In this connection it may ' be noted that the death rate among I teachers from tuberculosis is higher than ' the average death rate from tuberculosis and higher than in any other profession. This is a brief statement of the re- J suits ia New York and of similar invte- t tigations in many different places, and ( gives you the reasons for the activity j of men and mowen who are engaged in ( school work in any raeeponaible caper- i I ky, to obtain proper surroundings and * I proper conditions for the school life of L "the children of the country in order m that they may come for*h at the dose < f of their public school career property t ftk developed physically as well as property 1 trained mentally.
