In looking over the above statistics
of disease incidents, one is immediately impressed with the great number of diseases reported, for which
we have specific preventive measures.
This emphasizes the need of education
in this field. Again one is led to
speculate on the number of those who

ures had been instituted to avoid an
untimely death. Many cases where
individuals suffer with a recurrent
condition (such as tonsilitis) and do
not institute any treatment is the
4-more remarkable when we think of
the potetialities of focal infections.
In the majority of these cases in
which physical defects were .found,
the students were not aware of these
conditions up to the time of the examination. This shows the great
necessity for the periodic physical ex
amination. A member of the department not only summarizes the de
fects found, and possible methods of
correction with the student at the
time of the physical examination, but
