Pennsylvania Begins Medical Inspection of Schools
Pennsylvania will start a statewide medical inspection program for third and fourth class districts. About 300000 children will be examined by 500 physicians over two weeks, with reports to the Department of Health and copies to teachers. Examinations cover vision, hearing, breathing, cervical glands, skin, nervous disorders, and nutrition, with school sanitary conditions assessed including lighting, air, heating, water supply, and cup usage. The aim is to safeguard child health and ensure early detection of defects.
