hat 83 per cent, left school dentally fit. The procedure for
issuing these certificates was described in last year's report.
The After-Care Dental Scheme, which was also described
in last year's report, progressed smoothly and happily along its
appointed lines thanks to the continued generosity of the
practitioners taking part in it. The scheme was floated in
December, 1932, and from that date until December, 1933,
629 children left school, 514 obtained certificates enabling them
to join the scheme and 66 joined it. Three of these young
people have been reported as having failed to keep their halfyearly
inspection appointment, and are therefore no longer
members of the scheme.
I would once more like to express my deep indebtedness
to the great help and kindness which is extended to this Service
on every possible occasion by Head Teachers and their Staffs.
