The purpose of this study is to emphasize the dangers of the common childhood diseases and to present to the average classroom teacher the early symptoms of these diseases.
This survey Is not intended to detract from the value of any periodic check-ups that might be made by a family physician who has the child under his constant supervision. In fact, constant medical supervision of the normal growth and positive health of a child by his family physician should be encouraged.
