Only St. Barnabas’ School was examined during the year. There are two reasons that not more schools were examined. Firstly, a considerable amount of back work had to be completed, especiadly “ gas ’ ’ cases. Secondly, urgent cases were taken from the Medical Inspection of all the schools. The work is now practically up-to-date,” and examinations will take place more frequently. Thanks are especially due to Dr. Weston, who has helped to complete the “ gas ” cases, and to Nurse Sheriff, not only for her visits to the parents, but also for her care with the children, which is a great help with the work.
