BOROUGH OF RICHMOND
(SURREY).
Report on the Medical Inspection and Treatment
of Elementary School Children for the year ended
December 31st, 1933.
To the Chairman and Members of the Education Committee.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present my Report on the work of the
School Medical Department during the year 1933. This is my
thirteenth report as your School Medical Officer.
The Board of Education, in a circular regarding the arrangement
of Annual Reports, suggests that where matters have been
described in previous reports and remain unaltered, it is unnecessary
that the information should be repeated annually. This Report,
therefore, although on the same lines as in former years, will omit
much of what has already been reported and in which there has
been no change.
The average number of children on the school registers for the
year was 3,381.
On April 1st, 1933, the Borough was enlarged by the addition
of part of the Urban District of Ham. The added portion included
the school (Church of England) with its 195 scholars. All the
cards relating to school medical and dental work were forwarded to
me by the Surrey County Council,
