In reports for previous years, particularly in that for 1931,
reference was made to the steps taken to obtain the complete
co-ordination of the school medical and the maternity and child
welfare services and there is therefore no occasion to refer to
the matter further except to state that during the year under review
1,944 children between one and five years of age attending the
child welfare centres underwent a complete medical examination,
records of which were made on the lines of the schedule of school
medical inspection, treatment being offered for defects discovered
in the same way as with school children.

The reconstruction of Christchurch School, a voluntary school,
