INTRODUCTION.
School Medical Department,
Town Hall,
Tottenham,
March, 1926.
To the Chairman and other Members of the Tottenham
Education Committee.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The 1925 Report upon the School Medical Services follows closely
the lines suggested in the Schedule to Form 6M prescribed by the Board of
Education.
The Report is of an exhaustive character and under the various
headings of the activities of the Service will be found a somewhat detailed
account of the methods employed to conserve the health and remedy the
defects occurring amongst children attending Tottenham Elementary
Schools.
The scheme in operation is a comprehensive and economical one.
Those who have watched the development of the School Medical
Services, and contrast the physique of the children to-day with that of
the children of 1908, will be obliged to acknowledge that the nation is
making marked progress towards an A1 population.
The success attending the efforts of your officers to raise the standard
of fitness amongst the young has been due to the wise foresight of your
Committee and its predecessors, and to the stimulation and encouragement
that has, without fail, been afforded to your staff in the fulfilment of this
important branch to the Service. Grateful acknowledgement is made of
your Committee's sympathetic consideration of all matters submitted
for deliberation.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
