The nursing staff under the supervision ot Miss Helen Revett conducts extensive examination in the school system so that any disease or epidemic can be quickly checked and counteracted. This year the Kane County Medical Association offered free tubercu- losis tests to all seniors and teachers Wishing to take it. These tests were given late in March, and 284 seniors and teachers took advantage of the opportunity. Those Whose tests proved positive were then given X-rays. This service should prove very helpful to all students.
