MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS 



Under the system in use until recently in Chicago the in- 

 spector enclosed all the carbon copies of the exclusion notices in an 

 envelope and forwarded it to the board of health. This envelope, 

 besides being the holder for the exclusion notices, was the daily 

 report of the inspector. On its face were blanks to be filled out as 

 follows: 



ENVELOPE DAILY REPORT OF MEDICAL INSPECTOR IN WHICH ARE 



FORWARDED TO BOARD OF HEALTH COPIES OF EXCLUSION 



NOTICES. CHICAGO 



CITY OF CHICAGO, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH 



MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS 



Inspector's Daily Report of Number of Examinations and Exclusions 



I have this day examined pupils at 



(NUMBER) 



the School, made 



(NUMBER) 



cultures for bacterial examination, performed vacci- 



(NUMBER) 



nations, and excluded pupils from attendance 



(NUMBER) 



at school for reasons stated on the enclosed exclusion cards. 



Date 19 M.D. 



Medical Inspector 



(Place the exclusion cards in this holder, enclose whole in special envelope and 

 mail to Chief Medical Inspector. Report must be made EVERY SCHOOL DAY 

 whether inspection has or has not been made.) 



The saving effected by this system is plainly seen by compar- 

 ing the number of forms necessary under the separate card 

 method with the number required by the "check book and carbon 

 copy" method: 



CHICAGO METHOD SEPARATE CARD METHOD 



1. Notice and stub i. Notice to parents 



2. Envelope daily report 2. Record for school
