    To the Chairman and Members of the Education Committee. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have pleasure in presenting you with the Report on the School Medical Services for the year 1930. Throughout the year this work has progressed smoothly, and there has been an increase in the work generally. Special efforts were made to ascertain as many as possible of the crippled, mentally deficient and delicate children in attendance at the schools; this accounts for the apparent enormous increase of the exceptional children, as found in the exceptional tables at the back of the Report. Once again I bring to your notice the necessity for open-air classes and would urge that such be given serious consideration: such classes would solve to some degree the problem of the delicate child. I desire to express my appreciation of the goodwill shown to me by the Chairman and Members of the School Medical Committee; the invaluable assistance given to me by the Director of Education and Teachers, and of the loyalty and high quality of the work of the Assistant Medical Officers, Dentist, Nursing and Clerical Staffs. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours obediently, W. STOTT, March, 1931. School Medical Officer.
