special point in their medical history likely to affect the choice of
employment. In cases of definite disability steps are also taken
to interview the parent and advise as to the choice of suitable
employment.
During school medical inspection no children were discovered
whose health was considered to be adversely affected through
employment outside school hours. Nine boys have been specially
examined in accordance with the Bye-laws, and these were found
to be fit for employment.
