the School Medical Staff. I am unable to say what relationship
exists between the Juvenile Employment Committee and the

MISCELLANEOUS.
Medical Examination of Teachers.
During the year 3 medical examinations were made of
teachers, in connection with their appointment under the Authority.
Holiday Home for Children.
All children recommended for the King Edward VII. Memorial
Home, Herne Bay, are medically examined before being sent away.
Juvenile Employment.
* Special examinations were conducted in respect of children
whose medical inspection records were not sufficiently recent.
CRIPPLE CHILDREN.
By the Education Act, 1918, Section 20, the Local Education
Authority are required to ascertain what children in their area
are physically defective and to make provision for them.
A special enquiry on this subject was made in 1920 and a
full report submitted.
There is no provision in the district for such children.
SCHOOL CLINICS.
There are two clinic days at the Council House and two at
the Isleworth Public Hall per week, when a doctor is in
attendance, but treatment is carried out between 9 and 10 o'clock
for minor ailments on five days a week by the Nurses.
School children come under the notice of the Medical Officers
in one of the following ways:—
1. They are discovered at Routine Medical Inspections and
are perhaps marked for treatment or it may be merely
for observation.
2. Parents may apply to the teachers for authority to attend
the clinic.
3. The Teachers may on their own initiative, refer children
to the clinic either because of illness or uncleanliness.
