Excerpt from Medical Inspection of Schools and School Children, Vol. 4 The development of the body proportionately with the development of the mind, that a sound mind may have a sound body with which and through which to work effectively, has been recognized by all thoughtful educators in all enlightened lands from time immemorial as an essential part of education. The first duty of every teacher and every school official is the protection of the health and lives of the children committed to his care. Careful attention should, therefore, be given to providing healthful surroundings in the schoolroom and on the school grounds, to the prevention of disease by the removal, so far as possible, of the causes of disease from schoolroom and school grounds, to the detection and correction of physical defects and diseases by systematic and scientific inspection of the children. This work will never be properly emphasized and effectively done in our schools without a definite system of medical inspection of children, schoolrooms and grounds under the direction of a practical, scientifically trained health officer, devoting his entire time and attention to it. It affords me pleasure therefore, to call careful attention to this excellent bulletin on Medical Inspection, prepared by Dr. John A. Ferrell, with the sanction and under the direction of the North Carolina State Board of Health, and to bespeak the hearty cooperation of county superintendents, teachers, and all other citizens interested in the education of the children of North Carolina with that Board in its commendable efforts to secure competent, trained health officers in every county, who shall give a reasonable part of their time to medical inspection of the public schools and to the direction, in cooperation with the teachers and school officials of the county, of the health work in the schools.
