Harristjurg, June medical and dental examinations were provided for some 500,000 Pennsylvania children under the 1845 School Health Act during the past term, it was reported today. Although the board examinations program authorized by the last legislature were set up in only approximately one-fifth of the Commonwealth's 2,500 school districts during the last term, State Health Secretary Harry W. Weest praised the progress made toward the goal of providing checkups for every Pennsylvania child of school age. "Remarkable achievements were made," he said, "considering that the program was handicapped by lack of trained professional personnel, such as doctors and nurses, and a dearth of facilities for conducting the examinations." Weest said that he expected submission of reports by all participating districts would show, that at least 500,000 children were examined.

According to June 1 tabulations, Leroy Sianbuugh, Huntingdon 431,694 received physical R. D. 2. examinations and 430,309 dental Mrs. J.

Some 18,895 teaehern and other school employes received checkups in these 000 pupil examinations in fourth class (rural) districts. State payments to districts, covering for each physical and 75 cents for each dental examination, totaled 5995,312. The 504 districts participating in the program included Philadelphia and Pittsburgh; 17 of the 22 second class; 247 third class and 238 of the 1,523 fourth class'dis- tricts. Weest said many additional districts undoubtedly would initiate programs during the next school year, and it was hoped that the Department could obtain mobile units for operation in the rural areas where schools lacked suitable examination facilities.
