During the progress of Medical Inspection in the Schools 17
children were found in attendance with Tuberculosis Disease, viz.: —

Other Form of Tuberculosis Disease 10
(Included in the above list.)
Four of the children with Pulmonary Tuberculosis were sent
to Clare Hall Sanatorium by the Council, and were greatly benefited.
The remaining children are all receiving treatment at London
and local Hospitals.
I make further reference to treatment in my Report to the
Education Committee.
All cases of Tuberculosis have been visited, except those where
I have been assured by the Medical Practitioner in attendance that
every care was being exercised or that for some other valid reason a
visit was not desirable.
