PREFACE.
To the Chairman and Members of the Education Cimmittec
of the Hornsey Town Council-
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my first Annual Report
on the health of the elementary school children in the Borough
of Hornsey.
The difficult task of talcing over duties in a new area has
been rendered pleasant for me by reason of the sympathy and
active assistance I have invariably received from all those connected
with the School Medical Service. I desire especially to
place on record the help given me by Mr. Allen, your Secretary,
by Dr. Prior, and by Mr. Pateman, the late Chief Attendance
Officer.
The amount of work accomplished during the past year
shows that the steady growth in the popularity of the School
Medical Service seen in previous years has been well maintained.
The only development of note has been the institution of a
special clinic for the treatment of children suffering from eardischarge.
In this connexion attention is directed to the report
of Dr. Friel on page 11.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
W. W. JAMESON.
