In Barking we visit most of the schools three times a year for
the purpose of these school medical inspections, but I have stressed
elsewhere the need there is for medical officers to visit schools on
their own initiative and at the request of Head Teachers, apart from
these routine visits, and I do hope that Head Teachers will from
time to time consult my department on those matters of hygiene
and sanitation which come within the purview of your medical
officers.

Table: The table herewith included, which is a modification of Table IIB to be found in the appendix to this report, shows the number of children who have been examired and the number of defective children referred either for treatment or for observation during the years 1929 and 1930.
