COORDINATION.
The School Medical Officer is also Medical Officer of
Health.
The School Nurses are also Health Visitors, and each
carries out both Maternity, Child Welfare and School Work

Officers and the School Medical Department.

are at a considerable distance from the Public Health
Department, so I take this opportunity of emphasising the
