Last year I pointed out that the figures showed an increase on
previous years, and again this year I have to report that the amount
of work done is again an increase on last year.
I do not look upon the increase in the percentage of defective
children as really significant. It will be noted that the only significant
increase is amongst the children who have been referred for observation
and not amongst the children who have been referred for actual
treatment.

Table: The following table shows the percentage of the children examined who were accompanied by their parents or guardians.
