Health crusade drives Iowa school health progress
The Iowa Tuberculosis association, funded by Christmas Seal receipts, led a 1920 modern health crusade in Iowa schools reaching 243,000 youths. Iowa won national prizes for the effort, with many banners earned, 1.5 million health literature pieces distributed, 30 county fairs aided, and extensive nursing and clinic programs statewide. Over 100 county groups formed, public health nurses supported, and $60,000 in funds raised via local co operation. School health reports show defects among children and actions such as glasses fitted, teeth work, and minor operations. 108,006 students were reported absent.
