Edmonton Education Committee.
REPORT of the School Medical Officer for the
Year ended December 31st, 1920.
Town Hall,
Edmonton, N. 9.
To the Chairman and Members.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I herewith submit my ninth (and last) Annual Report. The establishment
of the Clinic has led, of course, to a large increase of my staff in your school
medical service and correspondingly to my responsibilities.
Whereas in 1919 there were four persons associated with me, there are
now twelve.
On relinquishing my office as School Medical Officer, I am still left
wondering on a few subjects :—
(1) When the cleansing station will be finished and in use ?
(2) When the absurd restriction will be withdrawn that prevents the
S.M.O. addressing the head teachers or attendance officers directly on any
important subject concerning the welfare of the scholars ?
(3) When the clinic will cease to be an exchange-station for distributing
infectious disease throughout Edmonton ?
SIDNEY C. LAWRENCE,
July 30, 1921. School Medical Officer.
