la. Grand Total 680 (girls 280, boys 400)
The Inspections have not been recorded in Age Groups
because the lists supplied at the time of inspections were
arranged in Form Groups.
lb. Requiring Treatment: 526 (girls 225—81 per cent, boys
301—75 per cent.)—77 per cent.
Treatment accepted : 352 (girls 159—70 per cent., boys
193—64 per cent.)—66 per cent.
Of the 174 who did not accept treatment, six signed the
consent form and may have paid 1s. 6d. to the Head Teacher
but they did not receive treatment because two changed their
minds in favour of their own dentist, two left before treatment
could be arranged, two failed all appointments for treatment.
1c. Treated : 312 (228—treatment completed in 1935.
84—treatment commenced in 1935 and completed in 1936).
2. Four half-days were devoted to Inspection and one to
Lectures on Oral Hygiene in the County School for Boys. No
sessions were devoted exclusively to County School children.
The number 60 is calculated from the amount of work done for
these patients compared with that done for the Elementary
School children, i.e., two fillings and one extraction for the
County Schools, to 1.3 fillings and 1.6 extractions for the
Elementary Schools.
