FfiKfttTAKY 22. 1924 SPEAKERS PRAISE WORK OF i II PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION AT THE LUNCHEON GIVEN AT SAINT MS ifi'he Public Health association of dkektxm county enjoyed a luncheon at the St. Mark's parhth houno Wetlnes jiljiy noon. Over seventy-five members ti-ud guoHts were present, jpr. W'm. AV. P. Holt, seeretnry of JfiCkson County Public Health uhhocI Xlon introduced Mrs. KadJe Orr Dun par of Portland, .executive secretary fj the Oregon Tuberculoufs and Jealth' association, who told of the beneficial work the state oiKnnizatlon Iff dofnff.' Good healthy children with nctlvo nil n da, Is the aim of this asso ciation. A sick child, both In mind and body. Is a detriment nut only to himself, but to the whole community. Dr. Kstella Warner of Portland, di rector of Child HyKlene in the state, jravo the prime motive of this branch of public health as one of education maternal and Infant hygiene work. It Is to inform mothers in. the care of their children and to keep In mind always to' make the present and future Reiterations strong, healthy and hp py. Without a healthy body the mind is handicapped and it is to the inter est of .everyone In the state to do their part. Ju'dKO Gardner of the county court, gave a most Interesting address. "We spend money on our orchards, county and civic interests, but do we give the children of our state as much support for the benefit of their health as we do the other things." said Mr. Gardner." It is not the healthy child who appears in our juvenile courts but the weak and defective child who thru no fault of his own is placed in such circumstances. The Deformed and Defective Child law of our state Is a vital factor and should be enforced at all times. We "cannot measure in dollars and cents the value of putting a healthy man or woman in society to help carry on the responsibility of our nation. Our first duty is to re port any child in the county who needs attention to the Public Health association, and they will take care of the child to the best of their ability. Miss Margaret Deverenux. Jackson county public: health nurse, gave the following address and report: Each year In Jackson county the county nurse and her association have tried harder than ever to put before the public the fact that good health is a purchasable commodity and the price is education. There are three classes of people we aim particularly to serve, the first of these being the tubercular, to prevent spread of this disease and to arrest its development where found. Sanitarium care is always advised, but if the patient is not amenable to this Idea, at least the best home conditions are striven for. Three patients have been helped to gain admittance to sanitaria this year. Also we are putting on a tuberculosis survey this spring which has been approved by the county medical society. . In fact It is they who have invited Dr. Bellinger of the Htate Tuberculosis Sanitarium to hold the chest clinic at the end of the survey. Admission will.be free. Then there Is our work with the school child. It hfis been said that the health of the growing child deter mines largely the health and the bod ily vigor of the grown man. There fore we realize the important factor In school medical Inspection, that is, to note and to urge the correction of any physical defects of the child in order to insure the future efficiency of its manhood. Experience shows that the failure to prevent and correct impairment of vision and of hearing, failure to secure dental attention, failure to correct postural defects, failure to place the normal child in an environment best suited, for physical development greatly restricts ,jthe range of industrial, business and pro fessional opportunities in adut; life A number of defective children are unable to take full advantage of their educational opportunity." s Eleven hundred seventy-one chil-' dren have been inspected since the latter, part of August, 368 were not defective, leaving 68 per cent' defec tive. Perhaps a list of the defects found would show further the need of this work. There were 114 cases of defective vision and eyes; 223 cases of defective tonsils; 68 cases of nasal breathing; 413 cases of teeth; 99 oases of enlarged glands, b m i,i HinBoa' & orthouedic; 2 hair Up; 3 cleft palate: 4 tongue tie ...... -a i... ri 1 1 It t a null One child UlMlBurtru "J -lip and cleft pnlate In In Portland at the expense of the county court re ceiving surRicftl treatment as allowed by the Crippled Children law. One case of toncue-tie has been success fully corrected and there have already been tonsillectomies, etc.. performed as a result of the nurse's -visit this year. 256 corrections had been made during the past year as a result of Miss Falldlne's work.. 90 visits -were made to school children's homes. 803 written notices were sent to parents regarding defective children. 427 ehlldrcn have been weighed nnd mea sured. 112, according to the nurse's i .nnIi acpinualv under- iwelght. The nurse regrets to state Hnt ihn naltttinr in the. weighing .11.1 n a fp.t niivfiva write the weights given on the pupils' card kept by the nurso. Some districts I found particularly healthy, others In such a malnourlBhed condition it was enough to haunt one. Infant and Prc-Sehool Work To insure healthy Bchool children we find our infant and pre-school clinics a very necessary part of our program. 13 clinics with a total of 295 attending Is what has been done since July. Over 300 children were weighed, measured and advised at the fair. Our clinics are diagnostic with a doctor attending or in the form of a children's health conference where the nurse and home demonstration1 agent weigh nnd measure the baby and atlvise the mother ax - to. feeding and care. Any abnorma4 condition is always referred to the family doctor in both kinds of clinics. , It is wished, however, that supervisory clinics with a doctor in attendance might be held monthly in certain of our communities to prove to the mothers the greater, value of regular checking up visits to the doctor than only calling him in when the child Is ill.
