IN PUBMC SCHOOLS
(Continued from last week)
Hundreds of eliildren arc
backward in their studies be-
cause of remedial physical de-
fects. Children are not dull
usually through the will of an
unscriutlble providence but
rather through the law of cause
11 ud effect. In other words
iitaniy many children are han-
dicapped in their race of life
both mentally and physically
by defects which can be easily
remedied. It would surprise
the most of us to take a cen-
sus of the physical defects of
school children and note the
appalling number who have
defective eye-sight impaired
hearing t nlarged tonsils cars-
ious and pyorrhea 1 teeth ami
adenoids. We must secure
conservation of our human re-
sources and this is the first
of all our natural resources
When the United States was
Thrown into the recent war
and millions of our young
men were brought before
boards for physical exaniina-
'tion. it was apparent what an
appalling number were phy-
sically unfit.
Public schools are a public
crust and as citizens we have
u claim upon the state and the
.state a rightful claim upon us.
both of which demand recogni-
tion. Education without
health Is useless and valueless
It would he better to sacrifice
the education if in order to
obtain It. the child has to lay
down his good health as the
price. "Education must com-
prehend the whole man and
whole man is built fundament-
ally on what he is physically".
Legislative enactment in
creating medical inspection
does not trespass upon th:
domain of private rights and
initiative. Under tl.'". plan
what is done for the parents to
tell him of the need of th" child
of which be might otherwise
have been in ignorance. II
leaves to the parent the dutv
of meeting those needs; II
leaves him with a larger re-
sponsibility than before. What-
ever view we take of the right
of the state to inforce measures
for the correction of defects
discovered the arguments for
or against should not enter in
to the discussion.
Oral hygiene and oral clean-
liness are matters of the utmost
Importance. The source of all
bodily activity is food. Food is
not only valueless but injur!
ous to the body unless it is pro
perly masticated. This impor
tant act cannot be perform
ed unless one has good teeth
Deficient teeth often lie at the
bottom of many diseases. The
teeth should be cleaned not less
than once daily and always
after taking acids sugars and
candies into the mouth as
these are great enemies of the
teeth. Pyorrhea is a disease
of the (eeth and gums. It is
one of the most frequent and
widespread infections found in
human beings. Its local devi-
ations are sufficient in thorn
selves to warrant every e.ffor
upon our part to offset a cure
but when we cons der it in re
tat ion to the various systemic
Infections for which it is so
frequently primarily resoon-
slble many of which are ser-
ious and fatal our responsibll
ity to ourselves is at once ap-
parent. The secondary syste-
mic infections found associa-
ted with this dise-ise are ar-
Ihiritis. rheuuuiiHiis in its
various forms 1 'dnev d'sas'
of various kinds and many
type of heart disease. It is be-
lieved by some good nitliorlt'e-
that pellagra is caused by it o-
Is secondary .to it; and in my
own treatment until liie teeth
received proper attention. No
other local focus of infection h
us fraught with danger as thi?
fseae. "The recognition
.-hat the teeth and their adja-
I's'iu tissues may leady and fro
oiienr protnl for systemic Infe"-
tion is one of the important
ndvances in medicine during
the last decade."
To prevent diseases it is im-
portant to keep the body res'is
tauce at a high point of effi
foncv. and this cannot be done
if the teeth are defective
Hence the teeth should be reg-
ularly inspected twice a year
ly a competent dentist.
Knlarged tonsils and ade-
noids prevent nasal breathing
And compel the child to ltup
his mouth open in order to
breathe. Chronically enlarged
tonsils which are ragged ant)
have pockets of pus in them
should invariably lie removed.
Adenoids are situated in th"
posterior naso-pharyngeal
vault and develop form lym-
phoid tissue. They are appar-
ently insignificant but their
results in immediate and re-
mote consequences are very
great. The picture itself grad-
ually but surely and often in-
situously; the child often he-
conies partially deaf takes
cold easily often lias a harass-
ing croupy cough hearing of-
ten is impaired the child looks
dull drowsy and stupid which
is strengthened by his poor
progress in his studies. There
ingis often deformity of the
thorax and curvature of the
spine. Hence he neglects his
lessons hates his school en
vironment and leaves long lie-
fore he has completed its course
and henso is started on the
road to an inefficient and de-
spondent life. Really through
no fault of his own he is doom-
ed to failure. It is a statistical
fact that most boys who are
brought into the juvlnile courts
of the country are those who
have adenoids.
In conclusion I wisii to say
that I have mentioned only a
few of the more important ele-
ments as they occurred to me:
and necessarily perhaps many
things should have been said
that have ben omitted.
