(b) Chronic ear conditions and their complications, with
treatment and results in school and pre-school children.
(c) Nose and throat defects with any secondary complications,

(d) Miscellaneous cases.
It may be said for such classification: —
1. The tables are comprehensive in their record of the
various types of cases and defects; their treatment and
results.
2. They are easy to understand.
3. They form a simple, reliable system of making annual
returns, provided a careful systematic method of
clinical record of each case is kept at the Clinic.
4. A general adoption of such a system of classification
and tabulation by various bodies dealing with large
numbers of children with similar ailments would be a
great advantage in a study of the relative incidence,
treatment and results of these conditions throughout
the country.
