The great war now ended has shown to every nation the priceless value of its citizens. The beginnings of the health supervision of schools and school children, made before the war, are now seen as movements of the greatest significance for national conservation. The growth of school health supervision in the United States in the past few years is indicative of its certain development in the years immediately ahead. As of 1915, 26 States have some form of statutory provision for school health supervision. There is also a constantly increasing number of cities providing organized health supervision of school children. This increase in extent is paralleled by the increase in thoroughness and effectiveness, which necessitates the provision not only of an adequate supervisory force of medical inspectors and nurses, but also adequate material equipment. This bulletin results from a careful study of the medical inspection facilities in the schools of New York and other American and foreign cities. Contents include: (1) A challenge from new South Wales; (2) A problem for educators; and (3) Standard medical inspection facilities. The following are appended: (1) Blank Form for Survey and Inspection of Medical Rooms; and (2) Typical Equipment and Supplies in Medical Rooms, New York City Schools. (Contains 10 figures and 5 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
