Parents Protest Physical Examinations of High School Students, June 1921

Protest on Physical Examination Rule

Asheville, N.C.—Protest has been made to the board of city commissioners against the practice of public physical examination of pupils at the Asheville High school. As a result, pupils in the future will only be examined by city school physicians, in the presence of their parents or a member of the Parent-Teacher association, according to an announcement of A.J. Hutchins, principal of the school. City Commissioner Sherill said that the law had been in effect for some years, but that he did not think it was compulsory, and that the parents, if they so desired, could have their children examined by their family physicians. The protest which brought action was filed by E.E. Stanberry, who has his children in school.
