Comments of A.S.M.O.—Dr. Knox has been particularly impressed by
the lack of treatment, especially of cases of defective teeth and
eyes, ringworm, enlarged tonsils, and dirty conditions of the head.
Dr. Knox reports a marked improvement in respect of verminous
conditions in the Girls' School, "due in a very great measure to
the publicity given to the S.M.O.'s request to parents to keep
their children's hair short," and also to the continuous weekly
reinspection of children found to be verminous.
