(a) Medical Inspection and Re-inspection.
At the commencement of the year arrangements were made
for the Medical Inspection of all children admitted to the schools
during the year, of all children between 8 and 9 years of age, and
of all children between 12 and 13 years of age, together with
children over 13 years of age who had not already been examined
after reaching the age of 12.
Routine Medical Inspection and Re-inspection was completed
in all the schools of the Borough.
(.b) Exceptional Children.
Towards the termination of routine medical inspection in
each school, teachers are requested to bring before the School
Medical Officer any special cases who may require examination,
and to include amongst these all cases falling within the category
of "exceptional children" (Table III). In this way an annual
census of all cripples is rendered possible, whilst particulars may
be obtained and advice given as to their progress and treatment.
(c) Places of Medical Inspection.
The work of medical inspection is carried out during
school hours and on school premises in every case, and disturbance
of school arrangements is reduced to a minimum,
