suffering from nerves as a result thereof, and for years after the
war, mothers brought their children to me saying that they were
" nervy " because they were born during air raids.
During 1940 our children were sturdy, healthy and clean.
Despite uneven and irregular school hours their health was maintained,
though I am told that they tended to be a little less controlled.
One must remember, however, that parents had a difficult
task to perform.
I wish to extend my thanks for the help and co-operation which
I have received from Mr. Pascal, the Director of Education, and my
staff, during a very trying year ; and to the Education Committee,
my gratitude for the help, consideration, and courtesy which I
have always met at their hands.
I am, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Dennis H. Geffen,
School Medical Ofjicer.
