school next year to take their
children to the clinic on one of

The clinic in the past two
years has been a decided success
and the observation has been
made that children whose defects
were remedied during the sum
mer months have made more
rapid progress than those who
had to enter school under these
health handicaps.
The following statement, cit
ing the Importance of immediate
attention to this matter, has also
been mailed to the parents:
Every child should enter school
as free as possible from physical
defecU. A child’s school’ pro
gress is Influenced largely by his
physical condition. If he is han
dicapped by one or more physical
defects, his schooling may be in
terrupted by Illnesses an4 npt
infrequently such children have
to repeat the first grade. This is
very discouraging to the . child,
and often leads him to _belleve
that he is different from other
children because he cannot keep
up with them. On the other
hand, if a child enters school in
good condition and free from de
fects, he has a much better
chance for normal progress and
for Jiapplness in his contacts with
other children.
