Health Department,
Council House,
Hounslow.
31st March, 1915.
To the Chairman and Members of the Heston and Isleworth
Urban District Education Committee.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present the seventh Annual Report of the
School Medical Officer. The report is prepared for the information
of the Committee and the Board of Education, and follows the
directions laid down in Circular 596 governing the Annual Reports
of School Medical Officers. I have endeavoured also to give the
information in tabulated form, as required by the Board, with
regard to the children inspected, together with the percentages
shewing different defects.
I have again to draw your attention to the small percentage
of the children who have secured the necessary treatment for the
defects requiring remedy, but I am glad to be able to record that
the Committee have now decided to provide treatment for Ringworm
and Eye cases.
I can also record that the Committee have again under consideration
the question of providing a Special School for defective
children.
I desire to tender my thanks to the members of the Committee
for the interest they have taken in the work of this department
during the year.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
THOMAS STRAIN,
School Medical Officer.
