THE DENTIST.
The work of the Dentist continues in a highly satisfactory
manner as reported on several previous occasions. I give dental
general anaesthetics at arranged sessions, and if required for

procedures.
In conclusion I thank the Matron and her Staff for the very
willing help and loyal co-operation at all times, to maintain
efficiency and create an atmosphere of happiness and tranquillity
for the children to live in.
