43 children were having dinners at school.
61 children were having milk at school.
As can be seen from the above figures, this clinic has
continued to do useful work in the course of the year in improving
the prospects of children examined. Unfortunately it has had to
remain an extra session for the Assistant School Medical Officer,
and could not be as fully supervisory as we would have wished;
but we have become even more convinced that if this could become
a regular session, in charge of a Paediatrician, there is scope for
a great increase in the help possible for such children.
