not bring all life under the
school roof." As Chapters XVI-XVIII make clear, to socialize the point
of view of dispensaries and hospitals is more effective than to put
clinics in school buildings. To _do for_ or _give to_ people who can
help themselves is to _give up_ and _do up_ power of self-help.

Machinery that must some day exist for the execution of this programme
will be approximately the following:

I. NATIONAL MACHINERY

1. Clearing house for facts regarding school hygiene as taught and
practiced in all schools under the Stars and Stripes; this to be a
part of the National Bureau of Education.

2. Scientific research to be conducted by the National Bureau of
Education or by the future National Board of Health.

II. STATE MACHINERY

1. Clearing house for facts regarding school hygiene taught and
practiced in all schools within state limits; this to be
maintained by the state educational authorities.

2. Agents to make special inquiries as to practice and teaching of
school hygiene.

3. Agents to inspect and to instruct county superintendents,
county physicians, teachers, normal schools, etc.

4. A bureau of experts--architect, sanitarian, teacher--whose
approval must be obtained before any school building can be
erected. (A plan which brought excellent results when applied by
state boards to charitable institutions, hospitals for the insane,
etc.)

5. Standard making by normal schools, state universities,
hospitals, or other educational and correctional institutes under
direct state management.

III. COUNTY MACHINERY

1. Clearing house for facts regarding school hygiene taught and
practiced in all schools within county limits; this to be
maintained by the county superintendent of schools.

2. Physician and nurse to organize inspection and instruction for
rural schools, to give lessons and make demonstrations at county
institutes, to show teachers how to interest physicians, dentists,
health officers, and parents in the physical welfare of school
children.

IV. TOWN AND TOWNSHIP MACHINERY

1. Teachers intelligent as to physical needs, as to sanitation of
buildings, etc.

2. An examining physician, to be salaried where the population
justifies; elsewhere to work as a volunteer in cooeperation with
teacher and with county physician.

3. Physical history of each child from date of entrance to date of
leaving
