v' U TffUE===g 3' =BLUE - m. • ' % ELIZABETH PETERSON School Nurse The services of the school nurse have done more to eliminate contagious diseases and increase school attendance than any other one factor. Three years ago Hudson had a very serious epidemic of scarlet fever which seemed out of control. New cases seemed to break out in spite of all that the school could do. This was due to the fact that many children had mild cases, a doctor was not called and, after being out for a few days, children returned to school and spread the disease. 1 he nurse was able to check these cases in the home. Much progress has been made in the health of our children due to the co-operation of the local health department, the doctors, the physical education department and the nurse. Children are examined periodically. Bad tonsils, adenoids and bad teeth are brought to the attention of the parents. In the great majority of cases, these handicaps have been corrected. Weight records are kept. Underweight children are given milk to help correct undernourishment. Posture tests are given and remedial work advised. If a child is out of school more than a day the nurse visits the home to determine the cause of absence. In this way any contagious disease is checked before it enters the school. In many cases the nurse has been able to render valuable social service aid in bringing to the attention of the authorities the need of food and clothing in some of the homes. Truancy is also decreased by this close supervision. Miss Elizabeth Peterson has served as school nurse for the past two and a half years. Her energetic endeavors and kindly attitude have done much to increase the general health of the children of Hudson. Health is the first of the seven cardinal principles of education. The mind must be housed in a sound, strong body if we are to get adequate returns for the money spent for education. 13 —E. P. R.
