In July this year, Miss Monck, the Dental Nurse, was
transferred to the Medical side as School Nurse and I
should like to place on record the valuable assistance
Miss Monck rendered to the dental service during a period
of just over 14 years.
Miss Bradford was appointed as dental attendant and
has carried out her duties very satisfactorily.
I am Indebted to Dr. Marsh and Dr. Friedlander for
the administration of nitrous oxide and to the Head Teachers
for their help and interest in the dental service.

This Clinic has continued to do useful work during the
year, and the majority of cases cleared up with conservative
treatment; many are now onder observation only, without
needing any active treatment. In 35 cases, the removal of
tonsils and adenoids was recommended.
As will be seen from the attendance figures, a number
of infants are referred from the Welfare Centres, and the
value of early treatment is very great.
