During the year there were examined 755 entrants, 735 in
the intermediate age-group, and 900 leavers, making a total of
2,390. Non-routine examinations numbered 1,369, and re-inspections
(these are subsequent examinations in the same year) 937.
A total of 3,759 children were thus examined or re-examined.
There was an average school attendance of 88 per cent., and of
this average attendance no less than 64 per cent. were medically
examined during the year.
The attendance of parents at routine inspections, which is
very helpful, is always welcomed and the attendance figure of 70
per cent. shows that school medical inspection, which was once
resented by the parents, is now greatly appreciated.
