' ASKED BY-FURBUSH Says State Should Force Board of Education to Safeguard , Health of Pupite The Hoard of Education should be forced by the State Department of Health to Increase Its force of medical Inspectors and nurses to properly safe guard tho health of school children, ac cording to Dr. C.

"Despite this order, tho educational authorities know that their staff is only largo enough to allow tho Inspection of a child once every two years. "The Department of Health, through Its health centers, is only too ready to assist In every way possible to take care of thoso children who need medical enuon, out It cannot and should not 00 tnf. irtrnna tnv fl..!!..

We have asked for more medical inspectors and nurses, and each time our request Is made wo are put oft with somo excuse. Nothing, however, Is more im portant than the health of our school children. They cannot do good work unless they aro in good physical nnd mental condition, and when a child falls to advance with the class there is somo definite reason which fhould bo discov ered and removed if possible."
