SCHOOL MEDICAL SERVICE.
The maintenance and improvement of the health of the school
child are matters of prime importance if a high standard of health
of the nation is to be acquired. No effort is spared, therefore,
on the part of the Education Committee, to secure the efficiency
and completeness of the school medical service.

In addition to the elementary school children enumerated below, the pupils at the secondary schools in the Borough are also examined and treated in accordance with arrangements made with the Middlesex Education Committee.
