To the Chairman and Members of the
Edmonton Education Committee,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have pleasure in submitting my report on the work of the School Medical
Service during the year 1933.
It is drawn up in accordance with Form 6M (Schedule) of the Board of
Education, dated January, 1934, whilst the statistical tables at the end of
the report are also drawn up in accordance with instructions.
The Board suggest that where the arrangements under any of the various
headings which have been fully described in previous reports remain unaltered,
it would be unnecessary, as far as the Board are concerned, to repeat such
information, but to state that no alterations have been made.
The above paragraph would apply to the following headings, concerning
which details were given in the report for 1932:—-
Special Schools.
The Medical Staff.
Arrangements for Medical Inspection.
Arrangements for ' 'Following-up.''
Arrangements for Treatment.
Physical Training.
Arrangements for Provision of Meals.
Co-operation of Teachers, School Attendance Officers, Parents and
Voluntary Bodies.
The Ascertainment of Defective Children.
Nursery Schools.
The work of the School Medical Service has gone on smoothly during the
year, and thanks are due to all those who have contributed to such a happy
result: these contributions have been made by all who come into contact with
scholars, school life and administration.
Very few changes'have been made during the year. Dr. O'Hear resigned
from the post of dental anaesthetist which has been filled by Dr. Moss; whilst
two places have been reserved at Collington Manor, Bexhill, an open-air
School, during the six winter months.
