Report on Training College students.
34 students were examined; all there were passed. The general standard of health was, on
the whole, satisfactory. 26 students were classed as of good general appearance, 8 as fair and
none as delicate.
There were 9 cases of defective vision; these were all cases of errors of refraction, which had
already been corrected satisfactorily by glasses.
In 4 cases some albumen was present in the urine ; in 3 the amount was slight and the
condition, in my opinion, of no importance; in the fourth there was considerable albuminuria.
This student was carefully examined and the urine tested on two subsequent occasions, a mere
trace and no albumen being found respectively. As the microscopical examination showed no
evidence of kidney disease, I came to the conclusion that the albuminuria was not due to
organic disease and that the girl might be allowed to enter the college.
