Altogether, sixty children were passed as fit during the year.
The following tables give some idea of the work done: incidentally, the
preparation of these tables represents a good deal of work, as may be surmised.
Fortunately, the schools close during the Christmas holidays, and the
work of the Clinics is suspended to a certain extent: the energies of the staff
can thus be directed into the unusual channels of compilation.
Table III is a very important one, and I am indebted to Mr. Davison, the
Superintendent and the Attendance Officers for their assistance in its preparation.
Complete reciprocity exists between the two Departments on such
matters as the delicate or abnormal child, children not on the School register,
etc.
Table IV, Group V, records the actual number of individual children
found unclean: no child is counted twice, though, unfortunately, it is so
frequently the same child or children of the same family, who sin in this respect.
