WEST HAM HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
The Medical Inspection in this school is confined to the pupils
who reside in West Ham, and does not extend to pupils in the
Preparatory Department.
During the year two visits of inspection were made by Dr.
Janetta Powrie, when all the new admissions to the school, the
children of 12 years of age, and the children of 15 years of age
were examined in full. The remaining children were partially
examined, that is they were weighed and measured, had their
vision and hearing tested, their teeth inspected and were questioned
as to their health since they were last inspected. Where
necessary these children were referred for full examination.

Seventeen per cent. of the children at the routine examination
were found to be defective. Forty-four per cent. of the children
at the special examination were found to be defective.
