ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL MEDICAL OFFICER
For the Year 1938.
(1) STAFF.
Full particulars of the staff engaged in connection
with your School Medical Service are given on page 152,
and includes the appointment of an additional medical
officer.
(2) CO-ORDINATION.
The co-operation between the head teachers of your
schools and your medical officers has not only been
fully maintained throughout the year under review,
but is a feature to which your attention is drawn
particularly each year.
(3) SCHOOL HYGIENE.
The general sanitary conditions of the elementary
schools in the area, such as sanitary hygiene, heating,
ventilation and lighting, etc., remain as in previous
years. With regard to lighting, I can say that this has
been examined in a number of schools with a selenium
cell photometer, and the results show that the lighting
does conform to the recognised standard set for schools.
Mention must be made of the poor condition with
regard to design, sanitary arrangements, etc., of the
Church of England School and the Roman Catholic
School of St. Ethelburga's, as compared with other
