PLAN PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS FOR STUDENTS PROGRAM IN PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM HERE WILL START WITH SIXTH GRADE AND INCLUDE ALL GROUPS ON UP THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL -HOPE FOR MANY BENEFITS WILL BE. ON TRIAL FOR YEAR. A program of physical examinations to include all students in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, and all those in high school will be in effect, the coming year as the result of a schedule arranged through the joint efforts of the board of education and the Boone County Medical society. Functioning of the plan here will place Belvidere on parity with the more enterprising communities of the middlewest and disclosures resulting from the thorough examinations will be of mutual benefit to parents and teachers, according to Superintendent R. E.

Garrett. The program will be on trial for a year and if it proves satisE factory continued. and It is beneficial hoped it the will task be of examining the students may be launched by the last week in 1 September. Committees of three physicians will be in charge in the different buildings. Boys and girls will be examined in different groups with as much privacy as can be arranged and parents are invited to be with their children for the checkup if they desire, Superintendent Garrett advises.

The county nurse will be on hand to assist and all clerical help needed will be provided by the various schools. If any serious ailments or handicaps are found, parents will be, notified in detail as the basis for starting immediate treatment. A nominal fee will be charged parents for the work which will be thorough and inclusive. Perpetual record cards will be provided on which vital facts found in each yearly inspection may be listed to provide a case record for each individual. The program starts in the sixth grade at the period when competitive athletics as well as more rigorous scholastic duties start.

Physical education is required as well as more rigorous scholastic duties start. Physical education is required by state law in all schools and proponents of the examination plan claim that it will offer many protections and safeguards. In past years, exemptions from physical training have been granted only after applicants appeared before a committee of three physicians and were given certificates of disability. The schedule of examinations for the different schools will be announced as soon as possible, probably within 10 days after classes are resumed on Sept. 7.
