Many, counties including our own - took 'advantage. of this iegisla-; tion to protect the health of'persons' in dependent.families.'. Establishment of a health program in the dependent children’s' work in Greene •County- has .made it possible to' check the nealth of mothers 1 and children in dependent families, and to take: care of 'such defects" which would not only have been injurious to the (individual but costly to the com­ munity at. a later date if they were allowed to go unheeded. ; - Numerous times, children throughout, the; state have been; reported as not showing adeptness in school; and de-- veloped inferior complexes because Ihey . could - not keep pace with the class. Consequently, in many cases this condition led to truancy. Checkups 'bn, the health of these children' have revealed, that many- ./had defective eyes, infections from-'decayed ; teeth or bad tonsils and nervous disorders. It' was' only natural that children handicapped by these ailments could not manifest ■iin interest ;in their schoolings which often accounted for the truancy tendency. . " The health program which Greene County h’as placed into effect,.has enabled many of these underprivileged children to receive the heeded, health attention thereby helping them to take more interest in their schooling and become better students, , ' A. good health program undoubted­ ly will, prove an asset to:our county inasmuch as the happiest'communities in mil*.state are those in which they Can point'to healthy and happy chil­ dren. v 1.1.
