The National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Children has aided in following up obstinate cases when

VACCINATION.
At Routine Medical Inspections an entry is made on the
Medical Record Card of every child not exhibiting evidence
of previous vaccination.
The percentage of entrants infants showing vaccination

54, and is partly accounted for by a number of primary
vaccinations having been done at the time of the outbreak
of Smallpox at the Kingston and District Hospital.
SPECIAL SCHOOLS.
The Special School for Physically Defective Children is
situated at " Elmfield," London Road.
There are .'11 Physically Defective Children on the
register, three of whom come from outside the Borough.
The School Medical Olficer periodically examines the
children, and the Clinic, being on the same premises, is
always at hand should the Head Teacher desire to consult
him or the School Nurse about any child.
Children needing Orthopaedic treatment attend the Red
Cross Curative Post, Norbiton, under the supervision of the
Orthopaedic Specialist.
Dental inspection and treatment were carried out at this
School during the year.
It has become necessary to vacate " Elmfield " at the
end of the vear, since the premises are required in connection
with the new Tiffin Boys' School now in course of erection,

building in Bonner Hill Road, which is being erected as a
Domestic Subjects Centre. This is a temporary arrangement.
