T.W. Letchworth, Esq., F.R.C.S., attends one day a week at
Bruce Castle for the examination and treatment of eye cases, and for
prescribing spectacles for children with defective sight.
Mr. S. T. Taylor, L.D.S., is employed by the Education Committee
as whole-time dentist. Children from 6 to 8 years of age are
examined, and, with the parents' consent, receive appropriate treatment.
Older children are treated only when the condition of their teeth
urgently requires professional attention.
The Minor Ailments Clinics continue to do useful work, so that
there is no adequate reason for absence from school on account of a
neglected ailment. The constant medical supervision over ailing absentees,
and their speedier return to school is appreciated by the Education
Committee and the school teachers.
