INTRODUCTION.
Medical Officer's Department,
Municipal Buildings,
Tottenham,
January, 1913.
To the Members of the Tottenham Education Committee.
Madam and Gentlemen,
Owing to the death of Dr. Butler-Hogan, who had
acted as your School Medical Officer for 8½ years, the duty of
writing this year's Report has devolved upon me. The
keen interest which Dr. Butler-Hogan took in the welfare
of teachers and scholars will make his loss long-felt in
Tottenham. For myself, I have lost an always courteous,
considerate, and kindly Chief, under whom, for these
past four years, it has been a pleasure to work.
Since the death of Dr. Butler-Hogan in May, 1912,
I have acted as School Medical Officer, Miss Hanson,
M.D., D.P.H, and Miss King, M.D., D.P.H., having given
me assistance in the work of routine medical inspection.
Dr. D. C. Kirkhope took up his duties as Medical Officer
of Health and School Medical Officer on the 1st January,
1913.
