A Nurse visits the School once a week for the purpose of seeing
that the children are clean and free from infection.
The School has been particularly free from infectious disease.
Only four cases, viz. one of Scarlet Fever, one of Diphtheria, and
two of Whooping Cough having been reported. This is a good
record in view of the fact that at this time of the year infectious
diseases are most prevalent, and these children are of the age (2
to 5 years) most liable to contract such diseases.
(2) The Clinic Work.

The "Treated" cases consisted of 34 children with 42 defects.
They made 191 attendances, or 5.6 attendances per case.
The "In-attendance" cases consist of 14 children with 17
defects. So far they have made 101 attendances, or an average
of 7.2 attendances per case. Several of these cases are almost
ready for discharge. From the comparatively large number of
cases dealt with, it must not be assumed that the children are in a
poor condition. Most of these cases are of a "minor" nature
only, the object being to prevent them passing into a more severe
or chronic type.
In all this work Miss J. E. Cass has been most keen and helpful,
and the medical arrangements seem to be quite satisfactory.
