Speech is one of the most obvious indicators of the child's development when he enters school. The five-year-old child should be able to do the following when he enters Kindergarten: a. Express his needs and thoughts in short sentences. b. Use a vocabulary of meaningful words when speaking of common every-day experience. c. Enunciate and pronounce words clearly enough to be understood, not using baby talk. About this same level of achievement should be expected of the six-year-old who has not had Kindergarten.

The preschool child is the forgotten child of our health programs. When the community undertakes a health program of a preventive kind such as vaccination or health examination, too frequently it is limited to those children attending the public schools. Here the children are assembled and it is easier to carry out any specific health measure. The public health nurse or official may more easily identify diseases among these children. Because of their close association, epidemics among children are thought more dangerous and are more easily coped with. But such measures are just as urgently needed with the preschool child.
