Ladies and Gentlemen,
Wc beg to submit the following report upon the schools
and school children of the Education Authority for the year 1932.
During the year, changes have occurred in the personnel
of the School Medical Service. Dr. N. G. Howell was appointed
and Commenced duties on March 1st. The medical inspections
for the months of January and February were carried out by
Dr. L. S. Farquharson. In July, Nurse James resigned under
Heage limit after 23 years faithful and conscientious service, and
Nurse Broughton was appointed to take her place.
Advantage was taken of this change to rearrange and to
co-ordinate still further the work of the Maternity and Child
Welfare and the School Medical Services. The Infant Welfare
Conlre at St. Gabriel's Hall, Noel Road, is now under the charge
of Nurse Broughton and the entire work of home visiting is done
by one person. Miss Broughton does the home visiting for Acton
school, and the area for which she also does the Welfare
werle coincides.
