With the object of systematic records being kept of the
infectious disease history and physical condition of the
children attending the public elementary schools, I have
drafted the accompanying schedule at the request of the
Education Committee. At present no attempt is made to
record the weight, height, or girth of chest, but these measurements
are of very considerable value, and it is proposed to include
them later. The particulars are printed on thin cards
5 by 6ΒΌ inches in size, perforated in one corner for filing, and
coloured differently for each school.
