Σελίδα 1 - Schools" is one of the 25 sections of the report of the Educational Survey of Cleveland conducted by the Survey Committee of the Cleveland Foundation in 1915.
Σελίδα 8 - ... hundreds. This sudden recognition of the imperative necessity for safeguarding the physical welfare of our children grew out of the discovery that compulsory education under modern city conditions meant compulsory disease. The state, to provide for its own protection, has decreed that all children must attend school, and has put in motion the all-powerful but indiscriminating agency of compulsory education which gathers in the rich and the poor, the bright and the dull, the healthy and the sick....
Σελίδα 10 - Providence, but rather thru the law of cause and effect. This led to an extension of the scope of medical inspection to include the physical examination of school children, with the aim of discovering whether or not they were suffering from such defects as would handicap their educational progress and prevent them from receiving the fullest benefit of the free education furnished by the state.
Σελίδα 51 - We therefore indorse all agencies which extended and varied experience has shown to better the health of school children, safeguard them from disease, render them healthier, happier and more vigorous, and to insure for them such physical and mental vitality as will best enable them to take full advantage of the free education offered by the state.

He cannot see the blackboards and charts, printed books are indistinct or are seen only with much effort — everything is blurred. Neither he nor his teacher knows what is the matter, but he soon finds it impossible to keep pace with his companions, and, becoming discouraged, he falls behind in the unequal race....
Σελίδα 28 - There the child is given a thorough and accuraet examination, the eyes being first dilated with homatropin and the error of refraction determined by means of the retinoscope. The proper glasses are ordered for the child and in a few days he is brought back to the clinic and the frames carefully adjusted. The nurse then keeps in touch with the case, seeing to it that the child wears the glasses, that the frames are straight, and that the symptoms of which the child complained are relieved. NEW YORK...
Σελίδα 16 - ... their knowledge and intelligence. In order that it may insure the efficiency of its citizens, the state, through its compulsory education enactments, requires its youth to pursue certain studies which experience has proved necessary to secure that efficiency. Individual efficiency, however, rests not alone on education or intelligence, but is equally dependent on physical health and vigor.
Σελίδα 8 - Boston was solving the problem, they too began to employ school physicians and to organize systems of medical inspection. by dozens of their sister cities, then by scores, and in the past few years by hundreds. This sudden recognition of the imperative necessity for safeguarding the physical welfare of our children grew out of the discovery that compulsory education under modern city conditions meant compulsory disease. The state, to provide for its own protection, has decreed that all children must...
Σελίδα 20 - To sum up the case for the school nurse, she is the teacher of the parents, the pupils, the teachers and the family in applied practical hygiene. She is the most efficient possible link between the school and the home.
