TO PARENTS: 



Experience has shown that a large percentage of school 

 children suffer from eye-strain, throat or ear disease, or other 

 preventable defects. These disorders can be greatly relieved 

 or prevented, if recognized early, but if allowed to persist or 

 grow worse, may seriously impair the child's general health 

 and mental development. Mental backwardness may be 

 traced frequently to physical defects. 



Such diseases may be readily recognized in the school 

 room, and this recognition and prevention is the object of 

 the Department of Medical Inspection in the schools. 

 Respectfully, J. H. PHILLIPS, 



Superintendent.
