endeavour to abolish the use of roller towels and to provide
a towel for each child. Parents have been asked to do
this, but their response is not universally good, and we
still see roller towels as a source of infection. This is
specially true at the Valley School, Masons Hill and
Plaistow. Other schools have responded well.
Special Inquiries.
No special investigation was undertaken during the
year into the causation, treatment or prevention of any
disease, or condition affecting the school child. Time
unfortunately does not permit, but the hope still exists
that with so much material at hand the Committee will
consider the possibility of carrying out these investigations
during the coming years. It is hoped in the next report
to be able to give some personal investigation by the Staft
into the many chronic conditions prevalent among the
cases attending the clinics.
