have promised to continue to submit their children for examination
as suggested at one to one-and-a-half years, one-and-a-half to
two years, two to three years, three to four years and four to five
years old. If the scheme develops, as it is hoped it will, one more
strong link will be forged in the co-ordination of the Child Welfare
and School Medical Services.
THE SCHOOL MEDICAL SERVICE IN RELATION
TO PUBLIC HEALTH.

Under the control of the Ealing Education Authority there
were at the end of the year 22 public elementary schools embracing
40 departments.
The year under review was one of great building activity.
Five new schools and additional departments to older schools
were being constructed : Horsenden School to accommodate 800
children, Wood End to accommodate 380, Grange Infants' to
accommodate 400, Coston Junior Mixed to accommodate 400,
and Bordeston Senior Boys' School to accommodate 400 children.
Two of these schools, Grange Infants' and Coston Junior, were
opened during the year, while three, Horsenden, Wood End and
Bordeston, have since been officially opened. Horsenden, Wood
End and Grange Infants' are of the Derbyshire open-air type which
was described in the Annual Report for 1930 in connection with
Stanhope School. Coston Junior Mixed Department was built
on a similar plan to the older part of that School, while Bordeston
on account of special provision having to be made for science,
handicraft, art and practical rooms, had to be constructed of a
different type to prevent the work going on in one classroom
interfering with that in another.
