INSTRUCTIVE INSPECTION
Mrs. Richards intended to embody the following material in Chapter VIII of the second edition. Because of her death it has seemed best to add it as an appendix.
CHAPTER X
INSTRUCTIVE INSPECTION[19]
The checking of wastes of all description is much in the air, but there is less discussion about WASTE OF EFFORT than might be expected. Yet effort means time, and saving of time saves lives as well as money.
Nearly every investigation of sanitary evils leads back to the family home (or the lack of one), and a great deal of the health authorities’ work is saving at the spigot while there is a hundred times the waste at the bunghole. The medical inspection of the schools was found to have little effect without the visiting school nurse, for the parents did not know how to better conditions and in the majority of cases did not believe in the need.
