and Teachers for their help and co-operation with my Department.
I am very grateful to the Chairman ana Members of the Education
Committee for their courtesy shown in the work of the School Medical
Service.
I have the honour to remain, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your Obedient Servant,
D. REGAIN.
School Medical Officer
1. STAFF.
During the year there were a few changes in staff.
Miss B. E. T. Cross and Miss C.D. R. Logsdon left during the
early part of the year owing to marriage, and their places were
filled by temporary clerks. On the 24th June, Miss A. Savill and
Miss E. R. Cross commenced uuties with the Department as clerks.
Mr. Bernard R. Allen was enlisted in H.M. Forces on the 2nd
August.
I regret to say that Mr. Eric Underhill, School Dentist, contracted
poliomyelitis during August and in consequence the services
of Mr. VJ. Howitt were engaged, in a temporary capacity, until the
6th December, when Mr. Howitt enlisted in the Royal Air Force.
2. CO-ORDINATION.
Co-ordination between the School Medical, Public Health and
Maternity and Child Welfare Departments was greater than it has-ever
been in previous years and smooth working between the general
practitioners, the Education Office and teaching staff continued
to exist.
. SCHOOL HYGIENE.
Arrangements for School Hygiene were the same as in previous
years.
