Apart from the fact that these holiday clinics have not been
running long enough for all the parents to establish, so to speak,
the holiday habit, it is demonstrated to my mind very emphatically
how these cases would be neglected if the school clinics were not
able to deal with them during the term time. There is unfortunate!;
amongst a certain class of the population an attitude of mind which
regards these minor ailments as too much trouble, regardless of
what the effects may be in some cases in later life.
