    CITY OF LEEDS. EDUCATION COMMITTEE. Report of the School Medical Officer for the year ended 31st December, 1919. To the Chairman and Members of the Education Committee. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to report upon the work of the School Medical Service of the City of Leeds, for the year ended 31st December, 1919. During the past five years the work has been carried on with great difficulty. The shortage of Medical and clerical staff was met by the employment of part-time Medical Officers and Dentists, and a number of female clerks. Thanks are due to all those who kept the organisation going during the absence of so many of the regular staff, particularly to Dr. Lee-Bolton, Acting School Medical Officer, Dr. Huie, Dr. Evans, and Miss Webster, Superintendent of Nurses. During the year there have been considerable changes in the Medical Staff. Dr. Lee-Bolton, who was acting as School Medical Officer during my absence, relinquished his temporary appointment on March 18th. Dr. Rutherford Cramb, and Dr. St. Clair Stock- well, both of whom are full-time Officers, resumed duty at the end of their Military Service-on the 1st April, the former resigning his position on November 12th, on his appointment as Assistant Medical Officer of Health and School Medical Officer at Brighton. _ * Dr. Evans resigned on June 30th, Dr. Hosford on October 31st and Dr. Greaves, Dr. W. Mayo and Dr. Archbold Smith, all part-time Officers ceased duty on the 31st July. To balance these withdrawals Dr. Joseph Holmes was appointed full-time Officer on September 1st, Dr. C. R.
