REPORT OF SCHOOL MEDICAL OFFICER.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF
THE LEYTON EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit my 18th Report on the Medical
Services in connection with the Education Department.
The report this year is of a more elaborate nature than any
since 1920. It is intended to be a survey report giving in some
detail the actual working of the service.
I do not think I need specially emphasize any portion of the
report, as I prefer that you should consider it as a whole, and,
as you think fit, develop the service according to the finances
available where the need of expansion and the filling in of any
gaps are made evident. The foundation is solid and will bear any
superstructure that may be built upon it.
I desire to tender my thanks to all those who have helped
me in my endeavours to do my utmost for the welfare of the
Leyton school children, and I would like to make special mention
of the Chairman of the Committee, Councillor Russell, the Chairmail
of the Special Schools (Medical Services) Sub-Committee,
Dr. Jays, and the Chairman of the Works Sub-Committee, Captain
D. M. Smith, who are all enthusiasts. Dr. Jays has been
most sympathetic and especially helpful in educating the lay mind
as to the relative values of the various medical problems that
from time to time confront the Committee.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Your obedient servant,
J. FRANCIS TAYLOR.
