TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
of the
LEYTON EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I' have the honour to present to you the 16th Annual Report
of the School Medical Service in Leyton as required by the
Education (Administrative Provisions) Act of 1907.
The work during; the year, as will be seen from a perusal
of the accompanying" report, has continued to be satisfactory.
The numbers examined in the "Entrant" and "Intermediate"
Groups are somewhat below the average, as outbreaks
of Measles and Chickenpox seriously interfered with the attendance
during" the winter months.
I have the pleasure of again thanking you for the assistance
and courteous consideration which you have extended to me and
to my colleagues. 1 have also to thank the members of my
Staff for their efficient and enthusiastic work throughout the
year, and all other Council Officials for their valuable and ready
help at all times.
I have the honour to remain,
Your obedient Servant,
J. FRANCIS TAYLOR,,
Medical Officer of Health and
School Medical Officer.
