22. SPECIAL ENQUIRIES.
A further enquiry was undertaken during the year into the
incidence of crippling amongst school children, details of which
are given earlier in the report.
23. HEALTH PROPAGANDA.
During the latter part of the year arrangements were made
for issuing every month 2,000 copies of " Better Health " in
Wimbledon. This Publication deals with simple health matters.
The greater number of these copies are distributed through the
schools and there are many indications of the interest with
which they have been received.
I desire to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation
of the loyal co-operation which I have received from all
the members of the School Medical Staff during the year under
review.
I am,
Your obedient servant,
HAROLD ELLIS.
