5. FINDINGS OF MEDICAL INSPECTIONS.
The following comparative table serves to indicate the number
and percentage of children found to be in need of medical or surgical
treatment in the three age groups inspected during: the year,
and, although there is a slight decrease in this percentage
as compared with that of the previous year, it will be noticed that
the average remains fairly constant; the probable reason for this
was outlined in my report for 1930.
