22. SPECIAL ENQUIRIES.
Again the amount of work undertaken by the staff of the
School Medical Service during the year has been so great that no
time was available for satisfactorily carrying out any of the special
inquiries suggested by the Chief Medical Officer of the Board of
Education. It is to be hoped, however, that in the coming year
there will be adequate staff to make this very important branch
of the work possible.
During the year 1923 the following special medical examinations were made :—
| Teachers Officers | 22 24 |
| Student Teachers | 29 |
| Bursars | 16 |
| Scholarship Candidates | 69 |
