The merchants of the city co-operated In making the round up a success by making appropriate window displays. Last year more than 1800 chil dren were examined in the state of Oregon and many defects corrected, the most common of which are de fective tonsils, teeth, malnutrition and poor posture. Oregon ranked 10th among the 48 states In the work, under the able chairmanship of Mrs. Claude A. Lewis, who will serve again this year for the fourth time. This yearly round-up of children to correct remedial defects before entering school has proved an eco nomic project inasmuch as the num ber of failures in academlo work has been reduced since this effort has been made, It is believed. Children are sent to the family physician and dentist for medical care when de fects are noted, since no effort is made to give free health service out side of the examination.
