Miss Appleton, who in past years has voluntarily done much
excellent work for these deformities, continued to undertake the
treatment of three groups of children twice a week at Whitehorse
Road Centre for remedial exercises. These children were periodically
examined by the School Medical Officer, who found that in
every instance improvement, more or less marked, had taken place.
The best thanks of the children and of the Committee are due
to Miss Appleton for the ungrudging way in which she has given
her time and skill to this class. The following is her report on the
class :—
The classes have been held, as before, on Monday and Wednesday
afternoons, each girl attending for half an hour twice weekly.
During the year 32 cases have been treated. Of these cases, 8 have
been discharged by the doctor as cured, 6 have improved so much that
only occasional treatment is necessary, 2 have been sent on to London
hospitals for further treatment, and 6 have left school, leaving 10 girls
still in attendance in December, 1914.

Boys and Girls in Mixed Department are recorded as attending Boys' or Girls'
Departments.
*Two referred o the National Orthopaedic Hospital for surgical treatment.
Six left school before completion of course.
