The Board of Trustees of the Citv Schools' Tuesdav
niirht adonted medical insDection for the system and de
cided to employ a competent nurse, trained in tha tline,
for the purpose. ' Supt. K. R. Curtis today stated that no
one is being considered for the position yet, but It 'vi hop- '
ed to secure the nurse by the 13th of September, when the
schbols will open for the fall. There are fewV nurses in
this region, especially trained in school work, and other
farts of the country may be looked to. , : - -;.
The plan calls for a systematic inspection : of every
hild The nurse will examine the eyes, rm, throat find
ears of every pupil, and in fact, make a general 'erfamlrla
tioit to discover any physical defect that may exist When '
trouble is located the nurse will call upon the parents 'of
the pupil arjd notify theVn, advising them of the steps
that should be taken immediately to offset the defect.
; f The physicians of the city will, be invited to give tjhe
medical inspection plan, which is permanent, their symaa

VMedical inspection is in force in the schools of many of
the more advanced communities in the country.- Its cast
is insignificant compared with the beneficial, results. One- '
third of all the failures in schools are due to physical de
fects, according to Supt.. Curtis. : t,-. :
