The arrangements made with the Head Master and Head
Mistress of the Roan Schools in 1933, continue to be in force,
whereby selected cases are sent to the Borough Hall Centre for
treatment.
Dr. B. Tchaykovsky in her report as School Medical Officer to
the School Governors, states as follows:—
"I would again lay stress on the enormous benefit of sunlight—natural
when obtainable, artificial by default—for increasing
the calcium content of the growing body.
"During 1934, 35 girls have attended the Greenwich
Borough Centre for various reasons—underweight, frequent
colds, debility, anaemia, rheumatism, chilblains—with excellent
results, so much so that girls on leaving school are anxious to
continue attendance at evening sessions.
"We are deeply grateful to the Medical Officer of Health,
for making this valuable treatment available for the Roan
Schools."
