It remains for me to express my indebtedness to the Committee
for the sympathetic attitude they have always shown
towards Medical Inspection.
My thanks are also due to the Secretary to the Committee for
many courtesies and helpful acts; to the school nurses and
teachers, and to Miss Perry for preparing neat and careful
records.
I am,
Mrs. Ford and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM BENTON,
Medical Officer to Education Committee.
