Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from School Health Supervision in Minneapolis, Minn This latter board comprises seven members - two members of the city council and the mayor, who serve as exofficio members, and four other members who are appointed by the mayor with the approval of the city council. The authority to maintain health supervision over the public schools is vested in the board of education and is exercised by the department of hygiene. The public health administration of the city is under the division of public health of the board of public welfare. Coordination of Functions. In May, 1920, the board of education, with the approval of the board of public welfare, designated the commissioner of public health to act also as director of the department of hygiene of the board of education and transferred to the account of the board of public welfare funds in the amount of the salary formerly paid the director of hygiene. This action by the board of education was a distinctly progressive step, both from the standpoint of economy and efficiency, and is in accord with the present tendency of governmental agencies to harmonize the work of the various boards and bureaus which have nearly identical functions. The coordination of the health work in the schools with the work of the city department of health extends, at present, only to the employment of a common director, and does not permit of the interchangeable utilization of the services of the personnel of the department of hygiene and the division of public health in school health work and general public health work. School Buildings and School Population. The board of education operates 84 public schools, including 6 high schools, 3 junior high schools, a school for crippled children, and a farm school for boys. In respect to the latter, the board of education exercises no other function than that of supplying teachers. As is the case in practically all cities, the school building program has been of gradual evolution, and has not kept pace with increase in the population, owing to the lack of funds. For this reason some of the lower classes are overcrowded and a few of the school buildings are of rather ancient construction. In the main, however, the newer buildings are in keeping with the requirements of modern school architecture. The attendance at the public schools at the time of this survey was 60,146. Exclusive of the high schools, the attendance was 50,080. School Health Supervision. Minnesota has no State school medical inspection law, but school medical inspection is permitted under regulations of the State board of health which have the force of law.
