Parents also attend Dental Inspections in satisfactory
numbers.
The teachers have been most helpful at Routine Medical
Inspections, and have also aided in following-up children
brought to their notice by the School Medical Officer, and
in seeing that children with defective vision or squint wear
their spectacles constantly. A revised list of children who
should be wearing spectacles is sent to the Head Teachers
every term.
The School Attendance Officer is very helpful, particularly
in getting children to attend the Clinic when
required to do so by the School Medical Officer or Nurses.

for Hospitals, etc., in cases where parents cannot afford to
pay, and also in sending children away for convalescence
to the seaside.
The National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Children has aided in following up obstinate cases when
notified by the School Medical Officer.
