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. At the
first inspection all new admissions, all children aged 12 years, and
a few "Special'' children were examined in full. The other children
under the age of 15 years were partially examined. At the
second inspection all the children were inspected in full.

Treatment.
The same medical services are available for the scholars of
this school as for those in the Elementary schools. Vision is
treated mainly by the Committee's Oculist, but a few parents prefer
to obtain treatment privately. Other defects are treated almost
entirely privately in accordance with the desire of the parents.
