PREFACE.
To the Chairman and Members of the Education Committee.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour of presenting to you my fourth and final
Annual Report as your School Medical Officer.
During my term of office the work of the School Medical
Service has shown considerable development, and you have now
in Hornsey an organisation of which the Borough may justly
be proud.
No doubt in future years this valuable work will undergo
still further increase, and will be finally made complete by the
provision of a residential open-air school: an institution or
convalescent home of this nature would be of unimagined benefit
to many children.
May I take this opportunity of thanking the Education
Committee for the consideration and kindness which they have
shown to me during the past four years, and in expressing my
gratitude for the help given to me by the Education Secretary
and his staff?
The Teachers and School Nurses have always done everything
in their power to make easy and pleasant the work in
which I have been engaged.
To the various Doctors who have assisted in conducting our
School Medical Service, and especially to Dr. J. K. Prior, I owe
a debt of gratitude.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
6th January, 1925. A. T. NANKIVELL.
