1 would take this opportunity of expressing to the
Committee my personal appreciation of the interest they
have taken, and of the help they have given me, in
promoting the School Medical Service. I would also

invaluable help I have obtained from each member of
my staff, from head teachers, voluntary workers, and from
all the staff employed by the Education Committee.

equipment far below the modern conception of school
hygiene.
