OPEN-AIR EDUCATION.
Reference has been made in previous reports to the steps
that are taken to encourage open-air education for the school
children. There have been no new developments worthy of record
in respect to open-air education during the year.
CO-OPERATION OF PARENTS, TEACHERS, SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE OFFICERS AND VOLUNTARY BODIES.
The co-operation of parents, teachers, school attendance
officers and certain voluntary bodies in regard to school medical
inspection and especially medical treatment has been alluded to
on previous occiasions. The teachers continue to give that wholehearted
co-operation and assistance in school medical work which
has been noted previously and for which sincere gratitude has
been expressed. There is no doubt that a large measure of the
success of medical treatment and supervision of the children is
due to their lively interest in the school medical service.
Among the voluntary bodies which have given much continued
help are the Central Aid Society, the National Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the School Attendance
Aid Committee and appreciation of the work carried out by them
must be expressed.
