Employment of School Children.—In no case did employment
appear to affect adversely the health of children attending
the elementary schools.
Medical Inspection of Secondary School Pupils.—The
secondary school pupils are inspected by medical practitioners
working under the direction of the Hornsey School Medical
Officer, who is specially appointed for this purpose by the Middlesex
Education Committee. This work, though quite separate

school medical service.
Arrangements exist for the transfer to the secondary schools
of all medical records of entrants from the elementary schools
whether scholarship or fee-paying pupils.
