SGH00L MEDICAL ©FFIGE.
In March, an eight-coil radiator was supplied by the Education Committee
and fixed at the expense of the Council, as I had reported in January that the
room was too cold in winter for the examination of specially-referred scholars.
In February, 1915, the School Medical Office at the Town Hall was
dismantled and the room taken over by the Chairman of the Council, as he
desired a third room for use in connection with the National Relief Fund; the
women inspectors' retiring room had already been appropriated. I endorse the
opinion of Dr. Strong, the acting School Medical Inspector, that the small room now
in use at the Education Office is quite unfit for the purpose of specially-referred
children, many of whom require careful examination in a well-lighted room.
