The Medical Officer of the School Board has organised
a complete scheme of inspection by a qualified nurse or
nurses in order to detect infested children and to prevent
their attendance until cleansed. In St. Pancras a hand bill
is distributed to the school teachers setting forth the fact
that the Council of St. Pancras has provided baths and
steam chambers for cleansing purposes, and the teachers
suggest to the parents the utilisation of such facilities.
The Public Health Committee of St. Marylebone after
due consideration of these facts has sanctioned the experimental
trial of the same system. It may indeed be affirmed
that such children being bona fide residents have a right to
avail themselves of the baths; certainly a greater right than
persons whose residence is of such a shifting and migratory
character as to be difficult of localisation.
