all our schools as militating against the best Interests of hygiene and the health
of our school-children.
Once again I would refer to the helpful co-operation of the Chief Education
Officer and his department and the Head Teachers of all the schools, In maintaining
an efficient school health service. Without their help much of the efforts of the
Deputy Principal School Medical Officer, Dr. Drummond, would have availed but little
to further new ideas for the advancement of hygiene and health education among the
scholars. The Health Visitors and School Nurses have made a fine contribution and
In every section the administrative staff have been lndefactlgable In their work.
Throughout the year the Chairman and Members of the Care and Welfare Sub.
Committee have been most generous and understanding in the various problems placed
before them, and with such sure support the Principal School Medical Officer can
look forward to the years ahead with eagerness and confidence.
I have the honour to be, Madam Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen,
Tour most obedient servant,
J.S. COLEMAN.
PRINCIPAL SCHOOL MEDICAL OFFICER.
