REPORT OF SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES\nThis Report, covering the academic years ended June 30th, 1949, and June 30th,\n1950, provides an accounting of the school health services in the schools throughout\nBritish Columbia during that period.\nCHANGING TRENDS IN ADMINISTRATION\nSchool health services are concerned with the medical and preventive health features\naffecting the growth and development of the school-child. While attention is focused upon\nthe mental, emotional, physical, nutritional, and immunization status of the pupil, the\ninfluence of the school environment is taken into consideration to ensure that such factors\nas heating, lighting, ventilation, and sanitation conform to the requirements of healthful\nliving.\nIt must again be recorded that concentration toward ideal school health accomplishes\nlittle unless similar healthful influences prevail throughout the community. More and\nmore district School Boards, inclined to that view and aware of the advantages of consolidation of health services, are transferring the administration of school health services\nto Union Boards of Health, to be administered by the health unit staff as an integral part\nof the total community health service instead of something apart. During 1948-49 six\nschool districts\u00E2\u0080\u0094namely, No. 33 (Chilliwack), No. 76 (Agassiz), No. 71 (Courtenay),\nNo. 72 (Campbell River), No. 75 (Mission), and No. 42 (Haney)\u00E2\u0080\u0094joined Union Boards\nof Health, while in 1949-50 seven more\u00E2\u0080\u0094No. 40 (New Westminster), No. 41 (Coquitlam), No. 9 (Castlegar), No. 11 (Trail-Rossland), No. 17 (Princeton), No. 18\n(Keremeos), and No. 64 (Ganges)\u00E2\u0080\u0094adapted themselves to unit administration. As at\nJune 30th, 1950, therefore, school health services for fifty-one of the seventy-six school\ndistricts were provided through health units, while a majority of the remaining twenty-five\nschool districts are seeking similar privileges. It probably should be noted that there are\nonly nine school districts in the Province that do not have public health nursing services,\nwhich has always been basic to attainment of health unit status.\nMETHODS OF EXAMINATION\nThe inquiries into the best methods of assessing the physical status of school pupils\nhave been continuous through the period covered by this Report. With the increase in\nthe school population and development of greater numbers of schools, it becomes fairly\napparent that it is impossible for any school physician to give a thorough physical examination to every pupil. In any case it certainly seems to have been proven over the years that\nin terms of defects found and remedial attention provided, an annual physical examination\nfor every pupil cannot be substantiated. Experience has shown that a thorough physical\nexamination three or four times during the entire school-life, with a screening of the pupils\nduring the intervening years, permits concentration of medical attention on the physically\ninferior, most in need of medical attention. For these reasons it has been common\npractice through school health services to confine routine physical examinations to Grades\nI, IV, VII, and X, with screening selection of the intervening grades. This is reflected in\nthe statistical analysis of the school medical examination, revealing 76.0 per cent of the\npupils in these grades examined in 1948-49 and 73.2 per cent in the following year,\n1949-50.\nThe study mentioned in previous Reports into the usefulness of the Wetzel Grid was\ncompleted and the results published in a special report entitled \" Report of the Wetzel\nGrid Study.\" In summary, the report states:\u00E2\u0080\u0094 NN 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nIt has been seen that the Wetzel Grid screens into an unsatisfactory group approximately 15\nper cent for whom no malady can be detected on clinical examination. It does not, however,\nscreen all pathology into this group since it has been shown that 4.6 per cent of the entire group\nof school children studied were screened into the satisfactory category, notwithstanding the fact\nthat they had significant pathological defects. It remains, therefore, to the second integral part of\nthe Grid technique, the clinical appraisal, to diagnose pathology and causes of deviations.\nThe qualitative screening by the Grid is, therefore, only a useful adjunct to school health\nservices. It will not materially reduce the work of the examiner, but it will tend to concentrate\nthis work on those children whose condition demands closer supervision. It definitely creates\ninterest in a procedure which otherwise tends to become monotonous and mechanical.\nThe public health nurses, teachers, parents, and pupils also are appreciative of the Grid as a\ngraphic record and educational aid.\nIn this study, it was shown that approximately 67 per cent of children follow a growth pattern\nwhich, according to the Grid, is a normal one. Admittedly, the grid misses some cases and\nadmittedly it is not a diagnostic instrument. It is felt, however, that the introduction of this\nsystem into a school health service would, while demanding additional clerical time, provide better\nuse of professional time. It would arouse a greater interest in social factors and environmental\ninfluences as affecting the health of children, and finally, should create improved school health\nservices, which is the ultimate goal.\nOn the basis of this report, a decision has been made to continue the use of the Wetzel\nGrid as a screening tool in the sixty schools of the six school districts served by the Central\nVancouver Island Health Unit. A further introduction of its use is proposed in other\nschool health services throughout the Province, commencing with Grade I pupils each\nyear, thereby gradually extending it throughout all grades in a school. This move should\npromote an additional advancement in the school health services in line with the avowed\npolicy toward an ideal school health service.\nPREVENTIVE DENTAL SERVICES\nEarly in 1949 it was at last possible to establish a Division of Preventive Dentistry.\nDuring the period under report, plans for the introduction of preventive services to be\nprovided by full-time dentists in local health units were formulated in co-operation with,\nand with the approval of, the British Columbia Dental Association. However, by June\n30th, 1950, it was not possible to recruit dentists to fill these appointments. As an interim\nmeasure, arrangements were made and successfully implemented in many rural communities throughout the Province whereby private dental practitioners conducted clinics\nfor the younger children on one or two days a week in their own offices. Grants representing 50 per cent of the total cost of dental treatment were made by the Department of\nHealth to local committees organizing such clinics.\nIn addition, during this period were also formulated plans to endeavour to attract\ndentists to provide dental services to the smaller rural communities of the Province.\nA system of grants-in-aid was authorized to endeavour to attract dentists to reside in communities in which no resident dentist is available, as was also the provision of dental\nequipment on loan to communities where a dentist would agree to visit periodically.\nIn an endeavour to stress the possibilities of the prevention of the vast majority of\ndental disease, further educational material\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is, booklets, pamphlets, posters, films,\nand film-strips\u00E2\u0080\u0094has been made available to schools through the local public health\npersonnel. In particular, a booklet entitled \" Your Teeth\u00E2\u0080\u0094How to Save Them \" was\nmade available to all schools, and on the instruction of the Department of Education was\nadopted as the official text for teaching dental health.\nAt last a start has been made to endeavour to solve the problem of dental ill-health\namongst rural school-children. It is now confidently expected that it will be possible to\nreport considerable progress in this field in future years.\nNUTRITION SERVICES\nEducation as to the wise selection of food is a vital part of the school health\nprogramme, since food has an important bearing on the child's growth, development, and MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS, 1949-50 NN 7\ngeneral well-being. Since the fall of 1949 the nutrition consultants have assisted teachers\nand public health personnel in studying the pattern of foods eaten by school-children.\nThis information is then used as the basis for developing a programme with specific\nemphasis on the important foods that are neglected in the children's daily meals. The\nstudies are carried out under the supervision of the teacher and public health nurse as a\nschool health project. The children record all the foods they eat over a three-day period,\nand the records are analysed according to food-groups. Food-studies have been conducted\nin areas of the Kootenays, Vancouver Island, Vancouver, and Northern British Columbia.\nIn each area the three major deficiencies in children's diets have been milk, Vitamin D\npreparation, and foods rich in Vitamin C. These foods are essential for best growth and\ndevelopment and good health. In addition, the studies have revealed that many children\neat excessive amounts of sweet foods, such as candy, soft drinks, and cake. Not only are\nthese foods expensive, since they contain little food value, but they also dull the appetite\nand help to promote tooth decay. In view of these findings it has been recommended that\nthe follow-up programme in each area give special emphasis to the four major problems.\nTo assist in these programmes, the Nutrition Service has prepared pamphlets dealing with\neach of the four topics, and supplied visual aid and outlines for use in schools. Where\nstudies have been made, public health personnel have reported an increased interest in\nimproving food-habits by children and parents alike.\nA new project introduced during the fall of 1950 has been that of rat-feeding experiments in schools. One group of rats is fed on a poor lunch, often typical of that eaten by\nmany of the children, while the second group is fed a recommended adequate lunch. The\nchildren are able to observe the effects of the two contrasting diets on the weight and\ngenerally healthy appearance of the rats over a period of several weeks. The experiments\nillustrate vividly the importance of food on both appearance and disposition, and are\neffective in encouraging improved food-habits among the children.\nThe nutrition consultant and public health personnel have continued to assist teachers\nand Parent-Teacher Associations in planning and operating school-lunch programmes\nmost efficiently. Food-studies have often indicated where improvement can be made in\nschool-lunch menus, and rat-feeding experiments have emphasized the value of a well-\nplanned lunch.\nHEALTH EDUCATION\nDuring the two school-years under review a major step in the improvement of health-\nteaching in schools was undertaken with the completion of the Effective Living Course for\njunior and senior high schools. The implementation of this course, which includes\nmaterial on guidance, safety, home and family living, and alcohol education, as well as\npersonal and community health, should do much to improve the quality of school health\neducation in this Province. The curriculum was planned to help students to help themselves by providing them with a necessary background of scientific knowledge on which to\nbuild by developing an inquiring attitude and by linking health improvement with basic\ninterests of adolescence. A representative of the Health Education Division assisted\nmaterially in the preparation of the health sections of this course. One month during the\nsummer of 1949 was devoted to the preparation of certain units, and a curriculum\nworkshop on this course was attended during the previous summer.\nThroughout the past two years local public health services have continued to assist\nhealth-teachers through the provision of information, printed material, and films.\nMeetings of public health and teaching staffs on the local level have been a most\nsatisfactory method of furthering greater understanding of their respective functions and\nresponsibilities and of ensuring close co-operation in the development of sound school\nhealth programmes. NN 8\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nSCHOOL ENVIRONMENT REPORT, 1949-50\nWith three years' use of the detailed method of reporting on school environment,\nSchool Boards have been able to apply better methods, procedures, and practices in the\nconsiderable amount of school building and renovations carried out in the past two years.\nNew schools have been required by increased enrolment, the establishment of new subdivisions, and the shifting population in the larger centres. Substantial progress has been\nmade in the betterment of existing accommodations and all phases of environmental\nefficiency.\nElectrification of many areas has made possible artificial lighting and the use of\npressure-tanks and water-supplies and the installation of modern conveniences in rural\nschools. One School Board decided no further buildings would be erected with outdoor\ntoilets nor would they install stove heaters in the established rural areas. In one locality,\nin the reconstruction programme the British Columbia Chapter of Illuminating Engineering Society conducted a model lighting experiment where two classrooms were connected\nto model lighting areas\u00E2\u0080\u0094one room with fluorescent lighting and the other with\nincandescent fixtures.\nPortable schools, capable of being moved at will, have been erected in communities\nwhere settlement has not yet been stabilized, and has enabled School Boards to provide\neducation facilities in small communities that have sprung up around sawmills and logging\noperations. This year saw the expansion of dormitory facilities in secondary schools in\ntwo areas.\nFor areas not served by full-time health services, many inquiries were answered for\ndetails as to installation of sewage-disposal systems, water-supplies, and lighting\narrangements.\nHEALTH OF THE SCHOOL-CHILD\nAs in previous years, the physical examinations of school-children have revealed the\nvast majority of them to be in good physical condition clinically. As a matter of fact, the\ntrend noted in the last medical inspection of schools toward a consistently improved status\namong the pupils has been maintained year by year, although very slightly in the last year.\nTable I.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Physical Status of Pupils Examined, Showing Percentage\nin Each Group, 1943-44 to 1949-50\nAcademic Group\nPercentage\nof Pupils,\nA Group1\nPercentage\nof Pupils.\nB Group2\nPercentage\nof Pupils.\nC Group3\n1943_44._ __._ ' ..\n86.6\n88.3\n90.4\n91.1\n91.7\n93.3\n93.4\n11.4\n11.0\n9.0\n8.3\n7.8\n6.4\n6.5\n2.0\n1944-45 \t\n0.7\n1945-46 \t\n0.6\n1946-47\t\n0.6\n1947-48 \t\n0.5\n1948-49 ...\t\n0.3\n1949-50.\t\n0.1\n1 A Group: A, Ad, Ae, and Ade categories.\n2 B Group: Bd, Be, and Bde categories.\n3 C Group: Cd, Ce, and Cde categories.\nSo many features affect physical status it is difficult to determine any definite reason\nfor such a trend. It is, however, significant that improved physical health is one of\nthe major goals of all public health services, and that this improved physical status\namong school pupils has paralleled a transition of school health services from its former\npartial service to integration with community health services administered through health\nunits.\nIn addition to the excellent physical status of the average British Columbia school-\nchild, the majority of pupils (more than 70 per cent in each group) are immunized against MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS, 1949-50 NN 9\nsuch major communicable diseases as diphtheria and smallpox, maintaining their immunity status throughout their school-life. This bespeaks a satisfactory trend in the\nimmunity status of that population group, but the fact that cases of diphtheria were\nrecorded in both years (rates of 1.1 cases per 100,000 population in 1949 and 5.5 in 1950)\nemphasizes that immunization of the total school population would be most desirable.\nA significantly smaller proportion of the school population are immunized against\nscarlet fever, whooping-cough, and typhoid fever. This is understandable, as administration of scarlet fever toxin and typhoid fever vaccine is governed by the vagaries of disease\nincidence, particularly since the immunity so conferred is less permanent. In the case of\nwhooping-cough, concentration of protection toward this disease is emphasized in the\nearly infant and pre-school years, in which population group the disease is more serious\nand often fatal. Consequently, as the child becomes older there is less need for immunity\nprotection to pertussis, and this is reflected in the gradually decreasing immunity status to\nthis disease in the higher grades.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 The third factor reflecting the health of the school-child is the communicable-disease\nincidence, the majority of which are childhood infections. In the 1948-49-50 period\nthere were major increases in chicken-pox, measles, mumps, and rubella, with definite\nupward trends in scarlet fever, septic sore throat, and rheumatic fever. Many of these\ninfections recur with a cyclic epidemic periodicity as new susceptible groups enter the\nschool, and as the period under consideration ended, evidence was at hand indicating that\nthe peak incidence had passed and that future incidence would likely be downward toward\na cessation of the present cycle. This seemed particularly evident in chicken-pox and\nmeasles.\nTable II.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Communicable-disease Incidence\n(Rate per 100,000 population.)\n1949 1950\nConjunctivitis 25.8 24.6\nChicken-pox 661.6 439.5\nDiphtheria 1.1 5.5\nInfluenza 4.2 40.4\nMeasles a 966.3 498.3\nMumps 387.3 758.7\nPoliomyelitis 20.2 6.4\nRheumatic fever 1.7 2.9\nRubella '_. 50.9 697.3\nScarlet fever 44.1 76.5\nSeptic sore throat 9.2 16.1\nTick paralysis 0.2 0.1\nPertussis 19.2 152.9\nPoliomyelitis showed a moderate incidence during 1948-49 with a rate of 20.2 per\n100,000 population, but was definitely improved in 1949-50, when the rate was only\n6.4 per 100,000 population. Diphtheria, already mentioned, had a minor incidence\nsomewhat lower than in previous years.\nIn general, the health of the school-child during the 1948-49-50 period was better\nthan in past years. Although an average number of minor communicable diseases was\nrecorded, the incidence of major infections was absent or insignificant, while the immunity\nstatus on the whole was satisfactory and the physical status excellent. NN 10 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nSTATISTICS\nDuring 1948-49 there were 137,536 children enrolled in the grades examined, which\nhad decreased to 128,724 children in 1949-50. Of this number, 39.8 per cent were\nexamined in that first year and 35.0 per cent in the second. This indication of the per\ncentage examined is admittedly low, but is explained upon the basis that medical\nexaminations are concentrated in Grades I, IV, VII, and X. Indeed, study of the results\nof the medical examinations by grades reveals a much more reassuring situation in the\nfact that 85.0 per cent and 92.2 per cent of the Grade I were examined in consecutive\nyears, with lesser but corresponding majorities in the selected subsequent years.
