Amongst noteworthy features in the main body of the report, one calls for special attention, viz., the opening of the Junior Practical School towards the end of April. This school has accommodation for 50 pupils and supplies a long felt need. Owing to the present state of financial stringency no progress has been made with the provision of facilities for Open-Air Education for delicate children, the provision of an Orthopaedic Clinic, and the appointment of an additional Dentist, to all of which projects attention was drawn in last year’s Deport. All the members of the staff of the School Medical Department have displayed enthusiasm in the performance of their duties, and as a result, the standard of efficiency has been high. A special tribute should in this introduction be paid to the encouragement and help which the staff of the School Medical Department has received throughout the year from the teaching staff of the schools. The Director of Education (Mr. A. Lewis) and his staff have provided much information for inclusion in this report, and I desire to thank them for this, and for much sympathy and help in connection with this special branch of the Education Committee’s work during the year. I should like also to express my sincere appreciation of the courtesy and consideration which has been shown by you, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen to the School Medical Department throughout the year. I have the honour to remain, Yonr obedient servant, J. YULE, School Medical Officer. 2, Lodge Load, West Bromwich, February, 1932.
