All these inspections take place on the school premises of the
various departments concerned, the head teacher's room or a class
room being used for the purpose. Previous to the doctor's
inspection a nurse visits the school to weigh and measure the
children, and, in the case of the elder children, test their vision.
Those children whose vision is or less are referred to the
oculist.
A nurse always attends with the doctor at the inspections, and
the teachers frequently attend, especially when they have any
information to give to which they wish particularly to draw the
doctor's attention.
The following groups of children have been examined :—
1. Entrants—mostly children of 5 years of age.
2. Intermediates—children between the ages of 7 and 8
years.
3. Leavers—children between the ages of 13 and 14 years.
4. Specials—any cases outside these groups who may have
been brought forward by the teachers.
The following table shows the details of these inspections as
they affect the various schools:—
