To the Chairman and Members of the Education Committee
of the Borough of Finchley.
I have the honour to submit my report on the work of
the School Medical Service for the year 1933.
The report is prepared in accordance with the suggestions
contained in Form 6M. (Schedule) issued by the Board
of Education in January, 1934.
I regret to have to report the loss to the Service of Mr.
R. S. Matthew, L.D.S., the School Dentist, who has taken
up private practice, and of Miss Hacking, School Nurse,
who unfortunately found it necessary to resign on account
of ill health.
The health of the children has been highly satisfactory
and there have been fewer cases of infectious disease than
in any year on record.
I have to thank Mr. Cogdale, Dr. Russell, the Head
Teachers, and all members of the Staff for their willing
co-operation at all times.
I am,
Your Obedient Servant,
A. A. TURNER,
School Medical Officer.
