TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
OF THE
LEYTON EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I beg to present the Tenth Annual Report on the work of
the School Medical Service in Leyton under the Education
(Administrative Provisions) Act of 1907.
For reasons set forth in the body of the Report the routine
inspection at the Schools of "Entrants" and "Leavers." has
been suspended, and only "Specials" have been dealt with.
During the year we have lost the services of Dr. Alice Stalker
and Dr. Cummings (School Oculist). The latter has been succeeded
by Dr. H. Thompson, who practises only as an oculist.
I desire to place on record my appreciation of the work done
by Dr. Stalker and Dr. Cummings, and my regre.t at losing them
as colleagues.
One of the Board of Education's Medical Inspectors made
an enquiry and inspection in connection with the work of your
medical department, and thereon the Board issued a very favourable
report. The Board recommended the appointment of an
extra School Nurse, which recommendation I congratulate you
on having acted upon (1918).
Once more it is my pleasing duty to thank the members and
officials of the Education Committee for their invariable courtesy
and assistance.
I am,
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. FRANCIS TAYLOR,
School Medical Officer.
