Comments of A.S.M.O.—Dr. Moran has noticed that " whilst the
height of the scholars is up to the average the weight is much under
the average (for the same age periods) of England and Wales.
^ Another striking and deplorable observation was the state of the
a teeth of such young children."
Only 3.5 per cent, of the children examined had sound teeth. Treatment
of defects he found was carried out in 24 per cent, of the cases of
tonsils enlarged to the second or third degree, in 12 per cent, of the
adenoids, in all verminous and ringworm cases, and in all visual
defects in which the vision fell below 6~9ths. About 25 per cent,
of the parents did not come to inspection.
