21. EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN OF SCHOOL AGE.
During the year, Dr. Strong has examined 119 children under the byelaws
in connection with the above.
The following six tables are in accordance with the wishes of the Board
of Education.
On Table I., by routine medical inspection is meant the systematic inspection
of the three specified groups of children—entrants, leavers (as soon as they
reach 12 years of age), and an intermediate group, those aged between 8 and 9
years. All other children seen are "specials."
The re-examinations are those of children found to have a defect at the
routine examination.
Table II. gives a detailed list of all defects which have been met with during
the year, and wherever seen, whether at school or at the Clinic.
Table III. gives, as far as is known, a tabulated list of "exceptional"
children in the area.
Table IV. is divided into four sections, and gives a detailed account of
the treatment received by those having defects. It is satisfactory to note
the large percentage of those who have received appropriate treatment.
Table V. is a summary of Table IV.
Table VI. is a summary of the defects found during routine inspection.
I am indebted to Dr. Strong and the Staff at the Clinic for the figures
in all the tables, except Table III.—this latter being prepared by the Attendance
Department.
