Comments of A.S.M.O.—Dr. Cooke says: "The impression conveyed to
mind is that the children are cleaner and better cared for than they
were when 1 commenced inspection. Whether this is due to the
system of inspection, or whether the class of children have in any
way changed, I cannot say. The heads are certainly cleaner. The
parents who attend seem, on the whole, to appreciate the principle
of inspection, and most of them are grateful for any suggestions one
may make. 1 am also struck by the absence of serious disease."
