The need for medical inspection of
schools is becoming increasingly evi-
dent to people even in the most re-
snote districts of the Province. To
their credit be it said that the school
trustees are rapidly coming to realize
the iniportance of this branch of pre-
ventiVe medicine, and meetings of
• there officials have been held recent-
• ly M various rural districts, with a
View to obtaining medical and nurs-
ing inspection throughout the schools
• of their townships.
As educational work is what is
needed at the outset, a nurse will first
of all spend some time hi each dis-
• trict where medical inspection of
schools is to 'be inaugurated. She wi

sir and facilities for enjoying the
great outaof-door amid natural sur-
- toundings, does not make the need for
tontieuell inspection and supervision
is pressing as in the city. However,
a systematie scheme for medical in
spection and nursing. of school chil
dren is very necessary, even in coun
try districts far removed- from any.

also prevalent to an even greater de-
gree in rural schools, owing to the

fective hearing, defective te.eth, defec-
tive nasal breathing, hypertrophied or
diseased tonsils, defective nutrition,
heart disease, lung troubles,. nervous
diseases, orthopedic defects, akin and
scalp -conditions.
Of all these defects taken together,
medical and nursing attention has
. corrected about sixty per cent., and
a large per cent. of the reinainder
could have been corrected before they
became chronic, had the children be-
fore school age been under the ewer -
vision of the Division of Maternar and
Child Welfare, Think of what an im-
mense blessing such a combined
scheme will be when properly organ-
ized! Pre -natal clinics instructing the
mother how to diet and deal 'with
danger signals even before the birth
• of the child; clinics to look after both
mother • and the child at birth, and
help the mother withatitiVice and co-
operatiOn in ,bringing up the •
baby-
through'the critical first years of life;
then school inspection followed later
by a medical inspection of young boys
and girls preparing to enter indus-
trial pursuits; these will oonetitut
the links in a strong chain of medica
supervision from the cradle to youn
menho'od and womanhood.
A necessary adjunct to medicalin
spection of schools is the dental dis
pensary, the importance of which i
becoming increasingly evident. Jus
how many of the more common ail
ments childhood elite youth can b
directly or indirectly traced to defer
tive teeth it would be difficult as ye
to estimate, but invesigation along
this line is proceeding.
It is certain, however, that nutri-
tional and digestive defects as well as
serious secondary disease in °the).
11 parts of the body, are in a great many
s, eases the result of decayed teeth, Ob-
servers state that dental caries (tooth
, decay) is present in progressive
- stages in the mouths df ninety-five
per cent. of our children. Good teeth
e as a rule bring about good digestion,
and this in turn develops good health.
But good health is not long maintained
if the child is not supplied with nour-
ishing food in adequate amounts. In
this connection the Department of
Education in some countries like Eng-
- land, provides meals •fer schoo1 clul-
- dren, and. recover the cost from the
- parent, where possible: Where this
provision is made at the schools, the
feachere often assist in the cooking,
and the elder girls are also encouraged
to do so; the latter this receive some
of the instruction in simple cooking
which is so necessary.
On first thoughts it would seem
there would be little need for these
measures in a land of plenty such as
Canada, But it has been found in the
rural districts especially that many
of the children coming some distance
to school. bring cold lunches and eat
them under somewhat unhygienic sur-
roundings. To obviate this, the On-
tario Department of Education in
many districts provides hot lunches at
the mid-day recess, and supervises the
children while eating. Not only do
the youngsters thus get the benefit of
hot, well -cooked food during school
hours, but they are early taught the
advantages of hygienic principles at
the table, and these youthful impres-
sions very often remain through life.
This combined scheme' of medical
and dental inspection, systematically
concluded, caratot fail to 'be an int-
mense boot to children of all ages.

Squirrel as Tree Planter.
A tame squirrel, kept as a house
pet and alloweddiberty from its cage,
will, if supplied with nuts, bury them
nn the most curious places. It will s
hide them in people's pockets or even 1
inside their collars.
It is evident that, in a state of na- • c
ture, squirrels are not able to keep
track of many of the nuts they bury in
odd spots. Thanks to this fact, theY
are quite useful in helping to seed ; f
