Report of Polk County Health Department For January During January the main activ ity of the Health Department was the examination of school children. A total of 413 pupils were examin ed at the Green Creek, Stearns, Mill Spring, and Sunny View schools. Among defects found, de cayed and defective teeth are by far the most prevalent, while the more serious handicaps are dis eased tonsils, and adenoids, from which 170 pupils were foupd to suffer. Also, 54 children were found to have uncorrected visual defects. In carrying out the school program the health officer and nurse examined only those pupils referred by the teachers from preliminary „ examinations which they had carried out on all children of their ~ grades. In this work they were assisted by the staff of the Coordinating School Health Service, which vis ited the County during last Octo ber and November. In connection with the school program, attention should be called to the following: (1) The great interest shown by the first grade teachers in the health of pupils entering’ school for the first time; (2) There is noticeable improvement in the health and physique of these youn ger pupils, no doubt due to better diet and home care during pre school years. In this -connection attention should be called to the ruling of the Attorney General which makes it illegal for candies and sweets to be sold in schools and for shopkeepers to sell any article to a school child during school hours, except upon written permission of the principal.
