Table II.—Return of Defects found in the Course of
Medical Inspection in 1920.
This table is intended, except as regards the final line, to be a record of
defects and not of individual children who are defective. For the sake of
convenience cases of Squint should not be recorded also under the heading of
"Defective Vision," and cases of defect of Nose and Throat should be included
in one only of the sub-headings. As regards "Teeth," particulars should be
given in the statements of the working of schemes of (1) dental inspection,
(2) findings including oral sepsis, and (3) treatment where a scheme is in
operation.
