as follows:—
Attendances

1936 1937
3993 4290
2383 2747
3280 3990

The extractions of permanent teeth numbered 506 and of these
60 were sound teeth removed for regulation purposes and three
supernumerary teeth, a total of 63, reducing the loss due to caries
to 443. The loss of permanent teeth in 1936 was 464.
As one of the primary objects of a school dental service is to
preserve the permanent dentition, it is worthy of note that with an
increase in the number of individual children treated, there is a
decrease in the number of permanent teeth lost.
The number of cases of irregularity treated by mechanical
means was 11 and those by extraction 39.
The number of scholars treated from the Secondary Schools
was 59 and they made 12l attendances.
