It will be noted that there is a decided increase in the numbers
of mothers and children attending the Dental Clinic. This is
partly due to the making of dentures for the mothers and partly
due to the keenness of Dr. Elsie Thomson in Oral cleanliness.
I should like to thank the Medical Officers, Nurses, Teachers
and Clerical Staff for their valued co-operation during the year
1925.
I am, Sir,
Vour obedient servant,
C. S. NEAME.
