STATISTICAL TABLES.
The Statistical Tables prescribed by the Board of
Education in respect of Secondary Schools and Public
Elementary Schools are appended.
IN CONCLUSION.
I should like to draw attention to the whole-hearted cooperation
which I have received from the Director of Education
and his staff, as many of the problems regarding individual
children are not only medical but have a distinctly educational
bearing, this includes the School Teachers, who have at all
times co-operated in the work of the routine inspections at
the schools, in calling attention to any defects which they felt
existed and in urging that the treatment recommended should
be carried out.
The parents have also, as a whole, shown great interest
in the work, and this is particularly so in the Infants' Departments
and is reflected by the attendances of parents at the
Routine Medical Inspections.
