MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS 



In many localities the local medical association conducts in- 

 spection for a year or two without cost to the city in order to 

 demonstrate its value. This is why the tabulated returns show 

 that in a considerable number of cities the physicians and nurses 

 receive no pay. It may also be a factor in bringing about the ex- 

 tremely low salaries that are received after regular payment is 

 given. 



The following table is made up from the study of condi- 

 tions in i ,038 cities and shows the number reporting salaries in 

 which the salaries of physicians and nurses fall within the limits 

 named in each group. That is to say, the first line shows that 

 there are 75 cities in which the physicians give their services and 

 21 in which the school nurses do the same. The second line 

 indicates that there are 47 cities in which the salaries paid to the 

 physicians are between $i .00 and $100 per annum, and so on.
