The administrative procedure agreed upon has been a®
follows:—
(1) The forms already in use for elementary school children
in Walthamstow will be used for secondary scholars for
recording results of inspections and treatment.
(2) The usual procedure adopted by the Essex School
Medical Service will be followed, viz., forms M.I. 46 will be
issued to all parents of children requiring treatment. This form,,
together with the fee of 2/6, will be returned by the parent
accepting treatment to the Head Master or Mistress, whowill
pass these to the Clerk to the Governors. On satisfyinghimself
that the fee has been paid, the Clerk to the Governors
will forward Form M.I. 46 to the School Medical Officer for
Walthamstow, who will then institute treatment. Any reduction
in fees can only be made by the Essex Education Committee.
(3) Form M.I. 45, giving particulars of inspections and
treatment carried out will be forwarded at the end of each
quarter by the Walthamstow School Medical Officer to the
County School Medical Officer, unless occasion should require
a return for special reasons at any other time.
(4) On completion of treatment, Form M.I. 46 will be returned
to the School Medical Officer1 for Essex, together with:
any necessary notes on actual treatment.
(5) It is understood that the fee of12/6 is for full treatment
needed at the time of first treatment given.
(6) Any necessary following up will be carried out by the
School Medical Officer for Walthamstow.

up to December 31st, 1935) is detailed below. The work
