INTRODUCTION TO REPORT ON SCHOOL MEDICAL
SERVICE
The routine examinations of children had been
disturbed by irregular school hours but during 1941
all leeway Was made up and in some schools all the
children were examined irrespective of age groups.
This gave an opportunity of making some comparison with
the physique of children in previous years, and under
the heading of Nutrition in the report some instructive
figures are set out.
The Clinic Services have been well maintained
and all the Specialist Officers continue to hold well
attended Clinics.
With the absence of Miss Monclc on Military
Service, Miss Sizer has covered all the schools so
far as possible with the assistance of a part time
nurse.
