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

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.
