TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
Madam Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I herewith present the Annual Report upon the School
Medical Service for the year 1935.
During the year special consideration has been given to the
Open Air Schools.
There has been some re-organization of the Day Open Air
School at Crosby Road (see page 185) and it has been decided
to extend the Residential Open Air School at Fyfield by 60 beds
for the reception of 40 Girls and 20 Boys. The sanction of the
Board of Education has recently been obtained to this project
and building operations will be begun at a very early date. When
completed this will bring the accommodation of Fyfield Open Air
School up to 200 beds.
In regard to Circular 1444 issued by the Board of Education
in January last, Appendix II. sets out a report concerning certain
matters which is receiving special consideration.
As a whole the health of the children has remained good.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
School Medical Officer.
