When a physician is being paid at the rate of from $1.00 to $2.00 

 per hour, it is certainly a most unbusinesslike and inefficient 

 policy to require him to spend half of his time doing work which a 

 clerk at $12 or $15 a week could perform equally well. The 

 physician above mentioned said in answer to a query that he felt 

 sure he could examine twice as many children in the given time 

 if he had the help of a clerk, and that he would find the work much 

 more agreeable. This is a matter which demands attention 

 wherever systems of medical inspection are to be installed. It 

 is at present one of the weak points of all American systems. 



EQUIPMENT 



FOR SCHOOL PHYSICIANS 



The following statements concerning the necessary equip- 

 ment for school physicians and school nurses are taken from an 

 article* published in 1911 by Dr. George J. Holmes, Supervisor of 

 Medical Inspection of Newark, N. J. They are based upon ex- 

 tended and successful experience. 



The school physician's room should be "well lighted, painted 

 white or light colored, wood floor." It should contain the follow- 

 ing equipment: 



One or two small, flat-top tables with a drawer, painted white 

 enamel 



Chairs rather than benches 



Wash basin and running water 



Paper towels 



White enamel pail for waste materials 



Screen 



Window shades operated from below upward 



Wooden tongue depressors 



Eye charts (Snellen's and illiterate) 



Medical cabinet of wood, with lock and key for medical and surgi- 

 cal supplies of nurses and physicians
