The work of Medical Inspection has been carried out as in 1916. Dr. Scott
Turner was absent on military duty throughout 1917 ; his work was done by his
partner, Dr. Michael.
Owing to the death of Mr. J. J. Ritson, L.D.S., the dental work has been carried
out by Mr. Chas. A. Lightfoot, L.D.S., R.C.S. Edinburgh, in the continued absence
(on military duty) of the School Dentist, Mr. H. D. Barr.
