    ANNUAL REPORT OK THE SCHOOL MEDICAL OFFICER FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY OF THE CITY OF EXETER, 1929. To the Chairman and Members of the Education Committee. I have the honour to submit my Report upon the Medical Inspection of School Children for the year 1929. 1— STAFF. Particulars of the Staff are given on Page 3. 2. —CO-ORDINATION. As the School Medical Officer, who is also Medical Officer of Health and Infant and Child Welfare, is engaged in clinical as well as administrative duties, there is no difficulty in co- ordinating the work of the different Departments. 3. -SCHOOL HYGIENE. The schools of Exeter are represented by all types ; good, fair, and bad. The latter arc being gradually dealt with by closure—as found possible. Much is hoped from the re- grouping of the schools which is now contemplated, when it is to be hoped that the school premises will be improved. It is most desirable in all new schools provision should be made for the proper conduct of School Medical Inspection which is at present carried out under great difficulties. . 4. —MEDICAL INSPECTION. The age groups inspected have been the Entrants, Leavers and Intermediate Group of Children of 8 years of age. The Board’s scheme of Inspection has been followed.
