Two clear days after the Survey, a Special Clinic is arranged
for the re-examination of these children. Those who have not
been properly cleansed are excluded from school. If at the expiration
of seven days they are still unclean, the parents render themselves
liable to prosecution under the School Attendance Bye-Laws.
Mrs. Yates has done thE work of cleansing heads since 1923,
the Council supplying the Sackers Combs and Shampoo. As a
rule, parents are glad to avail themselves of her services, so as to
avoid having their children excluded from school.
Seventy-seven children were cleansed by Mrs. Yates during
1931.
During 1931 it was found necessary to take legal proceedings
in 8 cases, with the following results:
6 cases were fined 5/- each
2 cases were fined 10/- each
