INTRODUCTION.
School Medical Department,
Town Hall,
Tottenham.
March, 1937.
To the Chairman and other Members of the Tottenham
Education Committee.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The report for 1936, which will be the last that I shall have the
pleasure to compile, gives a digest of the medical services in behalf of
the school children during that year.
Twenty-four years ago, when I was entrusted with the supervision
of the School Medical Services, the only clinic in being was the Eye
Clinic, then as now, in the competent hands of Mr. Letchworth.
The most recent additions are the Aural Clinic and the Orthopaedic
Clinic, and both are proving as valuable to the health of the younger
members of the community as are the others.
The growth of the School Medical Services to their present dimensions
and the manner of their development would have been impossible but
for the fostering care and encouragement of the Education Committee
during all these years, and the hearty goodwill of my co-workers in the
department, for all of which I tender my grateful thanks.
I am,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
David C. Kirkhope
