Annual Report
OF THE
Medical Officer for 1913.
The scheme outlined in Circular 596 of the Board of
Education has again been followed in arranging this report.
Information as to the general and social conditions of the
district will be found in the Health Report, which is bound
in the same cover as this, and a summary of the statistics for
the year will be found on page 9. I may just repeat, however,
that the estimated population of Finchley is now 44,208,
and the number of children on the rolls of the public elementary
schools is 4,478.
I have endeavoured to keep the report as brief as possible
without interfering with its clearness or utility.
Co-relation of the School Medical Service with
the Public Health Service.
The School Medical Officer is also the Medical Officer of
Health, and co-operation between the Education and Health
Departments is very close and friendly.
General Scheme of Medical Inspection.
In the routine medical inspections, three groups of
children were examined, viz.:—
(1) All children who have been admitted to the Infants'
Departments during the year ("Entrants)."
(2) All children in Standard III. of the Senior Departments.
(3) Senior children expected to leave within a year of the
date of inspection ("Leavens").
