EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS.

These children are submitted to re-examination when routine
medical inspection is being carried out in their school and if it is
found that employment is detrimental to their health, sanction
to employment out of school hours is withdrawn. This action was
found to be necessary in 3 instances. At routine inspection 102
children were found who had not obtained the necessary permission,
and 4 children were found to be under age.
