We have found that the health of the school child is one of the foremost objectives of any educational system. The nurse has a very important place in reaching this goal. The nurse must keep records that are complete and that should be continuous in that they should follow the child from one school to another. We have also seen that there cannot be a satisfactory school health program without a satisfactory maternity program. Districts, both rural and urban, should be small enough and the nursing personnel adequate to allow one nurse to carry both of these and all of the rest that goes to make up a well-rounded public health program.
