service Is also required during tivity at the d of the principal Your report indicates that Regional Health United recommended half time health care In secondary schools The report also hat Haiton Board of Education accepted and op proved he recommendation If your report is correct and if I interpret properly it appears that the school principals arc the only ones who understand the situation

mental welfare of our students I look forward with im anticipation to the lime people endowed with surveys budgets statistics and em notwithstanding will conclude that accident distress and illness arc not half lime affairs I recommend full time extra if needed professlonol health core in our secondary schools Council composed of many of the some Individuals who in the fall of 1975 introduced
