INTRODUCTION TO REPORT ON
SCHOOL MEDICAL SERVICE
SCHOOL REPORT.
During the year the number of children on the rolls of the
Elementary Schools returned to very nearly the pre-war figure.
In consequence the number of individual examinations made, and
the attendance at the various clinics showed a considerable increase.
All of the special clinics operated successfully throughout the year.
The general nutrition of the children was satisfactory : cases
of subnormal nutrition were very few, and only three children of
the 1,925 examined at the Routine Inspections were classed as
being seriously undernourished.
The percentage of children having Milk at school during the
year was 73.
