COUNTY NURSES ADVISE SCHOOLS FOR DEFICIENT Report Made to Commissioners Sets Out Work With Children. HEALTH GAINS SOUGHT
That there are a number of children in the county schools who are “mentally deficient” and should be placed in a special school or special classes organized for the county with teachers who could devote their entire time to them instead of taking time from normal children, is one of the chief recommendations made by the Marion County nurses in a report which was made public today after being filed with the county commissioners. It is impossible for two nurses to do all the work in the county outside the city it is stated. In order to give health supervision in the schools, do the fol-low-up work in the home, visit tuberculosis patients and give prenatal care to expectant mothers and assist in the bedside nursing of sick patients, each township should have a public health nurse the report recommends. PROTISIOX MADE FOR COr.MV SCHOOL XI'RSE, “The Parent-Teacher Associations in Marion County.” continues the report, “which are affiliated with the National Parent-Teacher Association, realized that If they were to carry out successfully the health program outlined by the national body, a county school nurse was the one thing they must have. Therefore. a petition was sent by this organization to the county commissioners asking that such a position be created. With this recommendation from the commissioners. the county council made the necessary appropriation and agreed that the county school nurse was to be under the supervision of the county health commissioner, county commissioners and county superintendent of schools. “On Jan. 12, 1920, Miss Mary Christian was employed as the first county school nurse. Her duties were to visit ali the schools in the county outside the city limits, to make a thorough physical examination of all the pupils, and to report to the parents any physical defects and symptoms of contagious diseases with a recommendation that the child be taken to the family physician for further examination and treatment. TERRITORY DIVIDED. “In May, 19*). Miss Florence Waltz was employed by the Marion County Tuberculosis Association, to assist Miss Gertrude Ludwig of the out-patient department of Sunnyside Sanatorium, in the follow-up work of the sanatorium, because it was impossible for the one nurse to take care of the increasing amount of work. During the summer it was discovered by this new tuberculosis nurse and the county school nurse that thev were duplicating each other s work as noth were trying to cover the same large territory, and they agreed that if the territory was divided there would be less distance to travel and more could be accomplished. “At a meeting of the county commissioners in September, 1920, an agreement was made between the commissioners and the tuberculosis association to divide the county in two sections, the national road being the divldng line, the county school nurse taking the south half of the county and the nurse employed by the tuberculosis association taking the north half. Shortly after the appointment of Miss Christian it was found that it would be Impossible for one nurse to properly supervise the health of the children in fifty rural schools as it was not possible to reach all of these schools in one school year. This new plan gave each nurse the supervison of. about twenty-five schools and her home visits in the interest of the children found to have physical defects and of tuberculosis patients. •\ln January, 1921. Miss Christian resigned and was succeeded by Miss Hope Fuller, previously employed by the city board of health in the city tuberculosis clinic.” RECORD OF WORK. The report shows that for the time covered in the report that a total of 5,224 children were examined, also that more than 10.000 notices were sent to parents regarding the physical defects of their children. A total of 287 home visits we r e made and a number of children removed to the hospitals. The nurses also made a number of public health talks and weighed and measured 1.181 children. “Health supervision in the schools includes more than finding the defects In school children,” the report continues. “In some cases all that is necessary to get the defect corrected Is the formal notice which the nurse sends to the parent. Many children have had tonsils and adenoids removed, defective teeth corercted and secured glasses, while others are waiting until the summer vacation. Unfortunately there are some parents who do not comply with the nurse's recommendation, then it is necessary for her to make h'-rne visits before the desired result Is accomplished. Frequently the family Is not In a financial condition to take care of the added expense of sending their children to the hospital. In order to take care of these poor children, we found our-

selves very much handicapped by lack of hospital beda. Early in the fall, arrangements were made with the Robert Long Hospital to take cars of four children a month, but very often the hospital was so crowded that even this small number could not be admitted. “The situation was relieved when the St. Francis Hospital at Beech Grove very kindly offered to take care of the children for a very small hospital fee. Some of the best nose and throat specialists In the city volunteered their services free. Asa result of this arrangement forty-seven children were taken to the hospital for the removal of tonsils and adenoids; twenty-nine cases were operated the first time and nine each on two other occasions. DEFECTIVE EYESIGHT. “The number of children found to have defective eyesight is entirely too great, but we cannot hope to do very much toward decreasing this number until we are rid of the small one and tworoom schoolhouses In this county, which are so poorly lighted. “More time should be devoted to the weighing and measuring of the children. Only seven schools have scales up to the present time. The weighing and measuring is like playing a game and appeals to the children and encourages better health habits where other methods have often failed. In one school where the children were weighed two consecutive months and advised what to do to gait* 106 out of 158 gained from one-half to three pounds. Also two children that were forty-two and forty-five pounds overweight lost five pounds each by following a special diet outlined for them. “The modern health crusade which has been conducted in the county schdbls by the Marion County Tuberculosis Association for the last two years has done much to stimulate Interest among the children in health and personal appearance. The number of county children enrolled in the health crusade the last school year was approximately 4,000. PUBLIC HEALTH MEETINGS HELD. “The Marion County Tuberculosis Association held a series of public health meetings in the schools and churches in the last school year. The Interest shown by the parents in these health meetings was most gratifying. The program usually consisted of songs and health playlet by the school children, a talk by a physician, illustrated talk on tuberculosis by a nurse, followed by motion pictures showing health films dealing with child hygiene and periodical medical examina tions. All these meetings were held in cooperation with the Parent-Teacher Associations or the school proper Number of community meetings held in the county. 22, with an attendance ranging from 200 to 700, and a total attendance approximating 5,500. Number of/ParentTeacher meetings held, 9. attendance ranging from 18 to 175, and a total attendance approximating 865.” The nurses are prepared to accomplish more effective work in the next twelve months, they announce.

Hurd, engineer for the board of sanitary commissioners, today ias under advisement twenty-five bids, received by the board Wednesday, upon twelve sewage clarifiers, fourteen electrically and hydraulically operated valves and fourteen similarly operated sluice gates, one electrically operated crane, six large check valves and one twelveinch driven well, all of which equipment is to be part of the city sewage disposal plant at Sellers farm.

The equipment upon which bids were received a year ago was of a standard type made by several different manufacturers. upon which the bids were received Wednesday is of a type designed by Mr. Hurd himself. The bids of the former type totaled around $250,000. Mr. Hurd stated that the type designed by him will do the same work as those which would have cost $225,000 more. Delivery of the six ton, fifty-six horse power gasoline locomotive, bids for which were received last Thursday morning was received in record breaking time, Mr. Hurd reported.
