Conclusion.
I must again express my appreciation of the
assistance and support given me by the Committee and
Staff. I would like to thank the Teachers at the various
schools for their co-operation and their influence on the
children as regards their keeping appointments. Lastly I
would especially thank our Voluntary Helpers for their
ungrudging service and practical assistance.
T. S. Latham,
School Dental Surgeon.
