The amended scale is in connection with Tonsils and Adenoids, since the new arrangement
with the Middlesex County Council for each case to be retained in hospital for 48 hours,
has naturally resulted in an increased cost to the Authority. The amended scale is as follows :—

18.—HEALTH EDUCATION.
During the year four parties of girl " leavers " from the Spring Grove Central School
visited the Isleworth M. & C.W. Centre. Each party was received by the Health Visitor who
explained the activities of the Centre, and the Medical Officer in charge gave a talk on the work
and objects of the Maternity and Child Welfare Scheme.
At the Bulstrode Senior Girls' School a baby care demonstration was given by one of the
Health Visitors. The model behaved splendidly and the senior girls showed a thorough interest
in the demonstration which included daily care, evening toilet, preparation for bed and attention
in the morning.
19.—SPECIAL ENQUIRIES.
No special enquiries have been carried out during the year.
20.—MISCELLANEOUS.
One teacher was medically examined during the year in connection with her appointment
on the teaching staff of the Authority.
Under an arrangement with the Middlesex County Council and the Central Association
for Mental Welfare we have undertaken the annual medical inspection of the children attending
the Hounslow Occupation Centre. Twenty-seven children were examined during 1937.
