"Thirdly, the unique position of the School Medical Officer
is of great value and ought to be utilised, for by virtue of it he is
able to hold his hand while he considers a case soberly and to keep
it under observation before he decides to act.
"In conclusion, I should like to thank Dr. Orr, the School
Medical Officer, for pennission to carry out this investigation,
and for his assistance in it. My thanks are also due to my colleagues
for enabling me to give time to the work and last, but by no means
least, to the School Nurses and to the clerical staff for carrying out
the considerable amount of extra work which the investigation
entailed.''
