2 obtained private treatment. 11 boys were examined from the
Secondary schools. 10 of these obtained glasses and one did not
require treatment.
34 children were referred from the Welfare Centres, including
3 with external eye diseases. 19 children obtained glasses, 10 did

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DENTAL SURGEON.
In view of the fact that it was not until January, 1942 that I
joined the staff at Acton, a detailed report for the year 1941 is not
possible. When Mt. Slater, l.d.s. (Bristol) joined H.M. Forces in
October, the work was carried on by part-time private practitioners.
Their efforts made possible the maintenance of a reasonable dental
sen-ice in the circumstances.
