A SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR'S VIEW OF THE PEDIATRICIAN'S ROLE IN SCHOOL HEALTH

[摘要] FOR THE School Administrator, the article, "School Medical Service in Perspective" (Pediatrics, p. 1011, this issue) provides a useful historical summary, factual, descriptive, and non-controversial. Its author did, however, touch on two topics of particular current concern to school people, and to these I should like to devote most of my comments. I have reference to his mention of the "lack of communication between school staff and practicing pediatricians" and his statement under the section entitled "Changing Role of Physicians in Schools" that "We [physicians] now try to understand problems of learning, behavior, sensory functioning, emotional reactions, social, familial, and cultural aspects of the child's development."
