Both the height and weight of children have increased to
an extent varying according to age, from ¾ of an inch to over 2
inches in height, and from 1½ to 5½lbs. in weight. This statement
indicates a vast improvement, not only in the physique, but
also in the general health of the children.
Great satisfaction must be felt that the care taken and money
spent in the endeavours made for the amelioration of the health
of the children of this Borough have produced such results, and
it is an encouragement to continue further the efforts made to
this end.
I am, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
School Medical Officer.
