Tlirongli our Physical Education Depart- ment, each student in the school receives some attention concerning health, :Xt the beginning of each semester every new student coming' into the high school receives a physical examination on entering the Physical Education department. In the girls' department each student is given the examination and a record of the health of each is kept on tile in the department. VVhen cases in which corrective work is needed, arise, the pupils are put into corrective classes under the direction of Miss Mildred Currier, girls' physical training instructor. Similar work in corrective-ness is carried on in the boys' department ,under Mr. Beyer for special cases. Dr. F. A. Turner, school physician, per- forms practically all of the examinations aided by Miss Helen Wray, school nurse. The school Dispensary which is kept by the school nurse, Miss VVray, handles an ap- proximate average of 40 cases of sickness each day. This department does much for the improving of health by advising parents about their children for glasses and other defects.
