"The source of supply, as well as the quality of the milk
delivered to the Schools is supervised by the Medical Officer of
Health.
"The milk is best contained in bottles, with straws for
drinking, or in sealed containers.
"It must be remembered that on no account should the
milk be warmed in any way, as this not only detracts from
its value, but is apt to render it anything but innocuous in
regard to the germ content.
F. GARLAND COLLINS,
Chief School Medical Officer."
(4) Medical Inspection.
For the purposes of administration, the whole Borough is
divided into live sub-areas, each served by a School Clinic, an
Assistant School Medical Officer and Nurses. The schools in
each area are visited in rotation. The Head Teachers send out
notices to parents informing them of the time to attend the inspection,
according to an arranged programme.
At the end of the Inspection of a School a written list is
handed or sent to the Head Teachers informing them confidentially
of any defects which are liable to interfere with a child's educational
career.
Arrangements are in force whereby those scholars who were
absent from Inspection are examined at a later special visit to
the school by the Medical Officer.
(a) The "age groups'' inspected throughout the schools are
as follows :—
(1) Children admitted to school for the first time during
the year (Entrants).
(2) Children of 8 years of age (Intermediates).
(3) Children expected to leave, and who have not been
previously inspected since reaching the age of 12 years.
(Leavers).
