Medical Inspection.
Age Groups inspected:—During the year, all new entrants
to school, children of 8 and 9 years, Intermediates, and children
of 12 and 13 years, Leavers, have been inspected.
Notifications, formerly sent by the Head Teachers, to
parents whose children were subjected to Routine Medical
Inspection were sent by the clerk.
Friendly co-operation has existed between the teachers and
Medical Staff, and endeavour has been made to carry on the
work of improving the physical and mental development of
the children.
The Assistant School Medical Officer has attended the
Clinic at Southey Hall every morning and has seen all cases
sent by the teachers or by the parents before going up to inspect
the schools.
At the Clinic, parents have attended in large numbers
and children found to have serious defects have been referred
either to their own doctors or to a hospital.
(a) Uncleanliness.
The examination of uncleanliness at the schools has been
wholly taken over by Mrs. Potts, who examines the schools
in rotation and attends the Clinic three mornings a week for
the purpose of treating necessitous cases who cannot be
attended to at home. Children suffering from scabies have
also been bathed and treated.
