The county nurso, works largely through tho schools, examining pupils for defocts, oftqn finding nnd cor roding troubles that retard, tho pu pil's oducatlonal development. The uninitiated, said MIiht Allon,. would bo surprised to know tho large pro portion of backward pupils, whoso slow progress Is duo not to natural stupidity but to physical ailments. Tho nurso's examination Is dlroctod toward pointing out theso nllmonts dofoctlvo vision, under nourish ment, bad tooth, adenoids, poor hoar- tng and advising parents to havo them .corroded by modtcal mothods. It has been estimated by authori ties that oach backward pupil costs tho public $80 a year In addod toach or's salaries and othor "ways, and tho offlclent nurso can soon (pay her salary and expenses In remodylng the pondltlons that make school progress slow.
