Assistant School Medical Officer who shall have failed to discharge
to their satisfaction the duties of his office.
The Local Education Authority desire that each School
Medical Officer should feel that his charge, though designed so
as to avoid exacting demands on his time, should be viewed as
embracing a wide responsibility for the health of all the children
under his care. Any narrowing of interest to the specified routine
is to be deprecated : it is hoped that all the resources of medical
knowledge will be broadly exercised in the interest of school
health. The Local Education Authority wish to feel that they
have enlisted not only the knowledge but the sympathy of the
Medical Profession in the hygienic and medical aspects of the
problems with which elementary education is beset.
The following forms show the methods adopted for securing
the presence of the parents at the inspection :—
