Public Health Department,
Radnor House,
Twickenham,
February 28th, 1915.
To the Chairman and Members
of the Education Committee.
Sir, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit my report upon the work of
Medical Inspection and treatment of children in the elementary
schools during the year 1914.
The most notable features of the year's work appear to be:—
(7) The increasing number of children in attendance at
the schools.
(2) The large and still increasing numbers attending the
inspection clinic and for treatment of minor
ailments at Radnor House.
(3) The commencement of the work of dental inspection
and treatment.
(4) The commencement of systematic home visitation of
the children stated to be absent on account of
non-notifiable infectious disease.
I am Sir, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
George .H. Duponk.
