Abstract
THE Second International Congress on School Hygiene was opened on August 5, and closed on August 10. The papers were mainly practical. At the first congres (Nurnberg, 1904) there was a distinctly greaten proportional of research work; but this was due to the fact that the medical examination of school children and been longer established in Germany, Austria, and other European countries than it has been in England. Such scientific investigation as the present congress has evoked is almost exclusively directed towards justifying immediate administrative measures, or developing existing organisations. For example, medical inspection has, in England and Scotland, now all but become a widespread reality, and the hygiene of school buildings and school work has rapidly grown into a speciality. We here indicate the main problems raised for discussion.
