    In concluding this report I wish to express my warm appreciation of the services rendered by all who are con¬ nected with the school. E. McRITCHIE, Headmistress. Tynemouth High (Grammar) School. Periodic inspections were carried out in respect of 162 pupils in attendance at the Tynemouth High (Grammar) School, 108 pupils were also re-examined at the time of the School Medical Officer’s visit to the school. Tynemouth Technical School. Re-examination of 38 pupils in attendance at the Tyne¬ mouth Technical School was carried out by the School Medical Officer at the School Clinic, as the premises occupied temporarily by these pupils do not provide adequate accommodation for medical inspections. Nursery Schools. Arrangements for the medical inspection of children attending the Sir James Knott Nursery School at Tyne¬ mouth, and the Howdon Road Nursery School at North Shields, continued as in past years. The schools were again visited regularly by the Honorary Medical Officer, every child being seen once; special cases were seen more frequently. The Health Visitors for the areas paid frequent visits to the two Nursery Schools, weekly when possible. Miscellaneous Medical Examinations. 165 children were medically .examined in accordance with the Children and Young Persons Act 1933; 164 employ¬ ment certificates were granted.
