" (1) That it is desirable ' on the grounds of efficiency,
" economy, and harmony, that the work of medical
" inspection of school children under the provisions of
" the Education (Administrative Provisions) Act, should
" be carried out in intimate conjunction with public
" health authorities' as set out in Paragraphs 5 and 6
" of the Memorandum of the Board of Education, and
" that the Cities of London and Westminster and the
" Metropolitan Boroughs should for this purpose be
" made the units of administration.

" County Council) as the local administrative officers,
" co-operating for this purpose with the Medical
" Officer of Health for the County of London.
" (3) That it is desirable that any necessary executive assis"
tants should be appointed by the London County
" Council and allocated to the Cities of London and
" Westminster and the Metropolitan Boroughs, such

sider the same with a view to adopting and incorporating
" such proposals in any scheme to be prepared by them under
" the Education (Administrative Provisions) Act, 1907.
