Spinal Curvature—Both boys improving as a result of special
exercises.
Other Deformity—Boy attending Orthopaedic Clinic.
Other Defects (five)—The three boys with boils, one with whitlow,
and one debilitated, all recovered.
Dr. Fitchet also reports regarding the girls:—
All the girls were medically examined during 1935.
Total number examined 243
Defects found 57
Those girls found to require treatment were re-examined
later in the year to determine if this had been satisfactorily
obtained.
The Principal, Mr. J. W. Hand, takes a keen interest in the
medical inspection of the pupils. He is ready at all times to cooperate
with the School Medical Department.
WEST HAM HIGH 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 are available for the scholars as for those children
in the Elementary Schools. Vision is mainlv treated by the
School Oculist, but a few parents prefer to obtain treatment
privately.
All other defects are treated almost entirely privately.
WEST HAM HICH SCHOOL FOR CIRLS.
All the West Ham pupils, excluding those in the Preparatory
School, were examined during 1935.
The number examined was 199, and of these 27 were found
to require treatment.
A list of 45 names of girls requiring remedial exercises for
flight deformities was left with the Drill Mistress, who shows
great enthusiasm in carrying out this treatment.
A re-inspection of those girls found defective took place later
in the year.
Thanks are due to the Principal and her Staff for their
efficient co-operation during the inspections.
