23. Incidence of Goitre.—On the 12th March, 1924, the
Chief Medical Officer to the Board of Education circularised School
Medical Officers in order to obtain more accurate information as
to the incidence of goitre throughout the country. As one means
of obtaining the desired information, it was suggested that a
record of the result of the examination for this purpose of all
children (both boys and girls) on uniform lines on the occasion of
routine examination at the age of 12 years would be valuable.
