The nurse also detects all cases in which physical or mental defects retard school work, and reports them to parents who may avail themselves of such medical services as the case requires. The school physician, Dr. Margaret I,. Nickerson, visits the school at regular intervals. One of the two Sight Saving classes in the city is at Edison High School.
