2. CO-ORDINATION.
It will be appreciated that without complete co-ordination, the difficulties
experienced in the service would be multifarious, but it is pleasing to note
that every assistance is given by Head Teachers, Assistant Teachere, private
practitioners, local and Metropolitan Hospitals, Social Services and various
departments of the County Council, thus enabling the co-ordination to run
smoothly as in previous years.
3. SCHOOL HYGIENE.
Under this heading I would have wished to give a resume of the alterations .
and improvements carried out during the year at the various schools and
