MUNICIPAL SECONDARY SCHOOL, TENNYSON
ROAD.
Two visits of inspection were made during the year, and
all the scholars were examined. The examination of the
juniors and at the age of 15 years was in full, as in previous
years, but as all scholars were fully examined the previous
year, a certain number were partially inspected in less detail,
as suggested in the Board's Circular 1153.
The partial examination consisted of measurement of
height, weight, vision testing, testing of hearing, examination
of throat and teeth, and inquiries as to any illness during the
preceding 12 months.
If at this inspection it appeared that the fuller examination
was advisable, then the case was referred for the full examination
and the parent invited as usual.
