GLANDULAR ENLARGEMENTS.
Eighty-six children suffered from slight and thirteen from considerably
enlarged glands.
These were generally the result of irritation from bad teeth or
pediculosis.
Those suffering from tubercular glands were few.
EXTERNAL EYE DISEASES.
These were generally of a simple nature, such as sore lids or styes;
children with ulcers are referred to me by the teachers, and the parents
are advised.
VISION.
Children unable to read and under six years of age are not subjected
to anv vision test except for special reasons.
