In conclusion, I venture to hope that the question of feeding
those children found on medical inspection to be insufficiently
nourished will engage your immediate attention, in order that the
work may be commenced as early as possible in the New Year.
I am, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. FRANCIS TAYLOR,
School Medical Officer.
