In accordance with the instructions of the Committee,
I have also examined 19 teachers who were newly appointed,
or who had been away from school through illness beyond
the prescribed time, or for some similar reason.
During the year, on 61 occasions, 1,187 children were
examined (658 boys and 529 girls); in addition, 62 boys and
77 girls were presented for special examination.
The total time occupied by these examinations was
72 hours and 40 minutes, or an average of 3.27 minutes
per child. That is, in most instances, exclusive of weighing,
measuring, and sight testing.
