the fundamentals of the subject in such a 

 manner that thej- may be used for either 

 teaching or practical worli in the field of 

 public hygiene. There is one portion of the 

 course, I think, which might properly be re- 

 garded as suitable to teachers in any de- 

 partment, notably, that having to do with 

 the various defects observable in school 

 children. It is the portion of the course 

 designated as medical inspection of school 

 children.

There are no courses specially designed 

 for teachers or- prospective teachers in the 

 biological sciences department where the 

 medical courses are taught. Many teach- 

 ers, however, take some of these courses 

 each year, how many it is not possible to 

 say accurately. 



I am mailing to your address an an- 

 nouncement of Kush Medical College, in 

 which you will find all the courses de- 

 scribed. I would say that a few teachers 

 expecting to go into physical-culture work 

 take the courses in human anatomy. 

 Others do work in physiology, pathology 

 and bacteriology. No certificate or diploma 

 is given to students completing these 

 courses. They may be taken by students 

 registered in various departments of the 

 University of Chicago and allowed to count 

 for credit towards the bachelor's degree. 



"We hope that the several departments 

 in the university will offer courses relating 

 to hygiene and sanitation and that we may 

 be able to offer a definite curriculum de- 

 signed for men and women who desire to 



go into the public health service. At pres- 

 ent no such courses are offered.

There is no active affiliation between the 

 college of education and the medical school. 

 One of the members of our faculty is finish- 

 ing his work in a medical course in Mu- 

 nich, Germany, during the present year, 

 and expects to take up work for retarded 

 children with the opening of school for 

 next year. This work will be done, how- 

 ever, in the college of education and not in 

 the medical school. I think some such 

 affiliation as you have in mind would be of 

 very great advantage, but we do not have 

 it as a matter of fact at the present time.

"We have no connection with the school 

 of medicine. However, the professor of 

 physiological chemistry directs our work 

 in that line. "We have large departments 

 of our own in hygiene, nursing and health, 

 etc. Please see announcement sent here-

None in medical department. Certain 

 teachers in the city schools have taken 

 courses in physiology, bacteriology and 

 the like with the regular medical classes. 

 Plans are now being developed looking to 

 a cooperation of courses between the 

 school of medicine, the school of education 

 and the college. In the school of educa- 

 tion our courses, psychology and principles 

 of education, school hygiene, psychology 

 and pedagogy and defective children and 

 the like, are open to medical students, but 

 have not been attended by any to date. 

 "We are planning to offer a course for the 

 training of school nurses which will in-
