Dear Sir:?
May I have the privilege cf call
ing to your attention a fact that your
paper, may do much to bring to the
public mind? c
0ur county has, as others, been
benefitted by free clinics and exami
nations of school children. The most
frequently recurring disease condi
tions found have been those of defec
tive tonsils and adenoids. Examina
tions have been made and these the
benefit ends for most children. This
has been true because the public
mind does ncrt grasp the significance
of ill health in the child's life. The
people of this county are soundly
sleeping, unaware that half its pupils
are affected.
It is needless for me to tell you
the ills following as a natural result
of bad tonsils and adenoids but you
Might give those to the public. Call
to the parents' attention the fact
th*t?their suffering child cannot hope'
te compete with more fortunate chil
dren and certainly cannot, handicap
ped by numerous diseases. Make the
parents know that that staring, dull,!
mouth-breathing, gasping child may,
by a small operation at minimum
cost, become just as alert and strong
as his iidjglibor's child.
Our people are just as sensible as
* any other eounty's population, but we
are asleep and unaware that our boys
and girls are being deprived of their
rightful heritage just because we have j
not stopped toi think.
J*nt these facts in your columns^
keep them there until by persistent
effort we shall have given onr bcvs
and girls a sporting chance. '
Yours sincerely,
carr hooper;:
