As on previous occasions, I again wish to emphasise the great
interest taken in the work by Mr. J. W. Hand, the Principal, and
my appreciation for the assistance he and his Staff have rendered.
WEST HAM HICH SCHOOL FOR CIRLS AND
ST. ANCELA'S HICH SCHOOL.
On the request of the respective Governors, the Authority provides
for the Medical Inspection of West Ham scholars in these
Schools, with the exception of the Preparatory Schools. These
Schools are visited each year by a Lady Doctor, and the same
Medical Services arc available for the scholars as for those children
in the Elementary Schools. Vision is mainly treated by the
School Oculist, but a few parents prefer to obtain treatment privately.
All other defects are treated almost entirely privately.
WEST HAM HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
An inspection of the West Ham pupils attending this School
was made, excepting those in the Preparatory Department.
The keenness and enthusiasm of the Principal, Dr. Florence
Barnett, have helped to maintain the high standard of health
found in the School.
