    value to large numbers of children whose education has hitherto been seriously interrupted by regular attendance at Orthopaedic Clinics. It has been agreed that simple remedial exercises will be carried out at the schools themselves, and the children will only be required to attend the Clinics at lengthj^ intervals in order that the medical super- vision of their conditions may be continued. We are very grateful to Mr. Rentoul for his help in bringing about this very desirable change. Mr. J. E. Collins, the Educational Psychologist, has achieved distinction in becoming a Doctor of Philosophy, as a result of research work which he undertook in Cornwall, and I am sure the Committee will wish to congratulate him on this signal achievement. The various activities of the School Health Service proceeded quietly and satisfactorily thiougliout the year, largely due to the guidance which Dr. Elliott has constantly given it, and the excellent relationship which exists between ourselves, the Secretary for Educa- tion and his Staff, the Teachers and the various Voluntary bodies associated with the School Health Service. I would like to express my gratitude to the Chairman and Members of the Education Committee for the support which they have constantly given to the working ol this Department. I am. Your obedient Servant, R. N. CURNOW, Principal School Medical Officer.
