15, CO-OPERATION
(a) Co-operation of Parents.-

The importance of parental attendance at medical
inspections cannot be over-stressed. It is regrettable
but understandable, that the percentage should decrease
with the increasing age of the child, and with the
considerable employment of mothers.
The leavers' inspections are of importance in
regard to fitness for employment and the attendance of
parents at these inspections is to be encouraged.
(b) Co-operation of Teachers, -
Renewed and grateful acknowledgement for the cooperation
of Head Teachers and their staffs must be made.
Generous help and co-operation has invariably been
experienced, especially in the use of their private and
staff rooms for medical inspection - often at great
inconvenience.
(c) Co-operation of School Enquiry Officers -
The Senior School Enquiry Officer and his staff have
again co-operated most effectively with the work of the
School Health Service.
