Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Defective Children "A National scheme of child-welfare - including medical inspection, medical care and treatment, and physical education - needs time for its development, and cannot rightly claim to be judged by any other result than the growth of a strong and healthy race of children. Such result must be, in fact, the aim of any nation which is provident of its future. For the existence and strength of a nation ultimately depend upon the survival of its children and their physical and mental health. This is the task which the Education Service of the country, aided by many thousands of workers, both voluntary and professional, has taken in hand." These concluding words of Sir George Newman, in the introduction to his last Annual Report as Chief Medical Officer of the Board of Education, may well serve as justification for this volume. The Education (Administrative Provisions) Act, 1907, instituted powers whereby a national system of medical inspection was provided for the children attending the Elementary Schools of this country. An effective School Medical Service has been organized. In England and Wales there are 317 areas for Elementary Education, each with a principal School Medical Officer. In 162 of these areas there are, in addition, 524 Assistant Medical Officers. The total number of School Medical Officers and Assistant Medical Officers, excluding specialists, is 841, and of these 93 are women doctors working in 54 different education areas. It is estimated that there are (including Higher Elementary Schools) 5,365,101 scholars in attendance, and in 1913 the total number of children medically inspected was approximately 1,830,000. Systematic medical examination of school-going children has revealed an immense amount of physical defect.
