MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS 



results of experience of educators and physicians, is of distinctly 

 recent origin. 



PRESENT STATUS 



The best body of evidence as to the present status of medical 

 inspection in American municipalities is furnished by the results 

 of an investigation conducted by the Russell Sage Foundation 

 during the school year 1910-11. This investigation gathered the 

 facts on medical inspection and school hygiene from 1,046 school 

 systems in 1,038 cities and towns, or nearly 90 per cent of the 

 American municipalities which have regularly organized systems 

 of public schools under superintendents. For the purpose of 

 tabulating the results, the states of the union were divided into 

 five groups, following the order adopted by the Bureau of the 

 United States Census. These groups are as follows:
