During the year there were 237 inquiries from outside districts,
and we sent out 722, to which 219 answers were received. Of
these 24 had defects which needed following up.
It will be noted that the Head Teachers refer a large proportion
of the cases. Their co-operation is most valuable, and
helps to bridge the gaps between the routine inspections.
Table 7 gives an analysis of the cases under observation, with
statistics as to the numbers who have obtained treatment. The
figures are a little more favourable than they appear, as some of
the defects were only notified late in 1913, and will doubtless be
treated. Most, if not all, of the eye cases will come under this
heading.
