Work.
Special to the Reporter.
AUSTIN. Texns .Ian. 22 That
every county in Texas of any consul-
crablo population has urgent need of
a public health nurse to visit tho
schools of the county examine the
children advise with parents rind gen-
erally promote better health condi-
tions Is tho opinion of K D Shurter
director of extension University of
Texas.
"Through our division of school in
terests" said Mr. Shurter "ot which
It. Dedichek Is head working In co
operation with the Texas Public
Health Association D. K. Ureed sec-
retary a survey of health conditions
In a typical Texas county was re
cently made. At the same time a so-
cial organizer worked In the county
aiding community organization and
MIsa Minerva Ijiwrcnco head of our
division of Home welfare conducted
demonstrations In economic homo
cooking as well as giving other In-
struction In domestic science.
"Tho health survey among tho
school children was conducted oy
Penrl Hyer a registered ntirso. fur-
nished by tho Texas Public Health
Association. Conditions nro disclosed
by tho survey which If they could uo
properly vlzuallzod by tho people of
Texas would result in tho Immediate
employment of public health nurses
to at least look after the school dill
dron in all counties where this work
1h not ulroady in comnotelit hnhds.
"Tho county chosen for this work
is about half rural In population and
about half urban. Tho report covers
first tho country schools and second
tho city schools. Five hundred and
fifty-eight children attending the ru-
ral or village schools wore examined.
Out of this number ICO had submerged
tonsils and -'51 enlarged tonsils mak-
ing approximately 75 per cent of the jo
children whoso tonsils should havo
medical attention. Anyone acquain-
ted with the long train of ailments re-
sulting from diseased tonsils will re-
alize tho terrlblo hazard which tho
children of tho country nro subjected
to and it is a typical Texas county.
Sovonty-ono of theso 558 childron had
defective hearing OG needed glasses
that Is there woro DC children who
through ignorance and lack of proper
advlco wero Injuring thelreycs by
v not having proporly fitted glassor.
Miss Hyer reports that In one case a
girl would huvo gone totally blind In
n short time had Hho continued strain-
ing her eyes In tho way bIio hud been
doing. There wore 2U cases of gran-
ulated lids; 4C1 or more than 82 per
cent of these children woro found to
have defective teetli. tiio uiscnHaa
which aro consequent upon defective
nnd neglected teeth aro too familiar tpfiirown County
tho general public to can for comnieni
hero. Sufflco It to say that thejffcry
practical United States nnny ndthor-
itloa consider the condition ottti sol-
dier's teeth a matter ot prlnioimpor-
tanee. Forty-four of those rchildfcn
had bad gums that wero lnneert of
medical treatment; 112 had adenoid-;
41 were poorly nourished; 215 aire
nourished nnd 302 were woU nour-
lutllil V
"Now theso aro some of tlicNnteh j
llchts which woro obtalnod from tni
health survoy- Tho city schools w
the sumo county showed similar con-
ditions. And 1t cannot bo repeated too
ofton this Is a typical Texas county.
"It has been observed tl an nd-
vianrv survey such ns was conducted
cures about 25 per cent ot the all
monts since the parents aro persua-
ded through Buch a survey to see that
tho children get proper medical atton
f inn whnro such a survey la followed
up by a public health nurse who fol-
lows the cases up and insists tact-
fully upon proper treatment it baa
been proved that 75 per cent ot suph
ailments are remedied.
"If the public generally could vlz-
ualtzo the suffering of our children
due merely to Ignorance of conditions
and to scientific and "proven reme-
dies I feel sure that sentiment In
Texas would immediately compel the
employment of public health nurses-
"With the cessation of hostilities in
Europe many excellent nurses will
soon bo returning to this country and
will be available for just such public
service.'
