Parent-Teacher Asaociation to Co-operate With Health Authorities in Appraisal Taking the health measure of puhlic ·s chool systems is a new venture ' about to be undertaken by S.tate health officials and th~. Illinois Congress of Parent-Teacher aSISociations, according to an announcl!ment made this week by Dr. -Isaac D. Rawlings, state health dire ctor. Score sheets embracing more than 100 items will be used to rate the degree of health protection and instruction which each school affords the children. Field work on the project will start soon after school begins thi s autumn, a dozen important schools having been . selected for the initial study. Tolerate Haaltb Hazards "Some schools are tolerating seri1 ous health hazards and don't know it," Dr. Rawlings declared. "Others have installed medical and nursing services but feel they are not getting the anticipated results. Some school boards hire a doctor, a dentist and a nurse and forthwith conclurle that the health or::>blem of the rising generation has been solved so far as the s-chool is concerned. "The investigation proposes to discover the facts in every case and bring them clearly to the attention of the school officials, the parents and the community. A score sheet, or appraisal form as the workers caJl it, ha-s been devised so that any school may be studied in a way that will bring out all the facts relating to health problems and whether or not they have been met and with what success. Describe Appraisal F onn "The appraisal form is divided into three sections, each allowing 100 points for a perfect score. One is d~ voted to the buildings, ground and equipment from a sanitary standpoint. Lighting, ventilating, heating, cleaning, recreation, seating and sanitary facilities are embraced in this section and the thirty-three items ranging from 1 to 5 in value make up a possible score of 100. "Another section deals with the school health service and embraces ·such things as medical, dental and nursing work.
