shall in any case be greatly obliged if you will kindly inform me
from which (if any) of the diseases, set out in the form (c) your
child has suffered. You will, I am sure, appreciate that this duty
which has been thrown by Parliament upon the Local Authorities
is one which is conceived in the interests of the health of school
children, and I venture to express the confident hope that in
carrying out the provisions of the Act I can rely on the hearty
co-operation of the parents.
I am, dear Sir, or Madam,
Your obedient servant.
School Medical Officer.

Yours faithfully,
