4fcc153d-f95f-4ee1-8b0d-86f75a07990a | I think that the time has come when we should consider having at Jeast one full-time nurse at each clinic, the same to be on the permanent staff of the Council. Tonsils and Adenoids.—Operations for the surgical treatment of tonsils and adenoids are carried out by arrangement with Queen Mary's Hospital, Stratford, and S... |

These cases are treated at your Minor Ailment C... |
20696a51-2244-43ee-b038-fdf68a51f0a2 | If only parents would bring their children to the Clinic right away and would actually carry out the treatment offered, we should see but a very small fraction of the number of serious cases of impetigo with which your officers have to deal.

As for last year, this treatment is carried out by one of your medical officers at the East Street Clinic, and the increased work done not only represents increased school population but represents an increased interest in the... |
a6c455cb-9dea-42a4-ad0d-d9526bbc6aa8 | Foy, the dental surgeon. It does seem an enormous pity that the public will not take seriously professional appointments made by their own public authorities. No professional public man or woman in practice could make a success of life, do what is right by his patients, and live an economic life if his patients constan... |

99d54734-12e9-4e7b-9d76-7317551e572e | It is to be hoped that the public will remember that it is their money which is being spent on these Clinics, and it is our responsibility to see that it is spent economically, and that we cannot do this unless people will look upon appointments made in the public service just as seriously as they would look upon other... |

6acc29bb-72c0-4ffb-b5c1-a982bbb22bdf | From a hygienic standpoint there can be no question but that the rule should be for classes generally to be held in the open air, with the building as a refuge only when circumstances make this impossible. It is a very wrong thing for children to be brought up with the idea that the house is the natural environment of ... |

3737ac6b-1325-4739-855c-730366242396 | During the summer holidays, too, there are additional camps where children are taken for a fortnight at a time to the same huts at Hainault. School camps are a step in the right direction, leading to an appreciation of the open-air life of which I have spoken above. Indeed, it seems to me the time is fast coming when i... |
b0bf16b2-42a7-45a9-be83-25542a69a9eb | The idea that such camps must of necessity be costly is, I believe, unfounded. Providing the children are healthy, are adequately clothed and properly fed, the material part of such an establishment could be—and perhaps should be—of a very simple, inexpensive nature. 144 Open-air Classrooms in Public Elementary Schools... |
6345dd59-0131-4713-b722-04ad8fb05339 | Debility, Impetigo and Cervical Adenitis are among those who have derived considerable benefit from this treatment.

681dbdc9-04a0-4710-b9a8-1919a59c11cd | 146 If a game of Rugby is being played by junior boys, it is of advantage for the field to be relatively short. This, however, is by no means obligatory. It is, however, obligatory that the field should be relatively narrow, so that the boys may find touch fairly constantly, with consequent brief intervals in the stren... |
5400f122-b5e0-4653-a6fd-485c399524f0 | Whereas, in 1929, 33,991 free meals were provided, during 1930, 31,556 meals were provided. With the active co-operation of all your officers concerned I find it difficult to believe that there are any children who of necessity go without a square meal some time during the day. I look upon this work as one of the fines... |

a92191a6-7f23-4d82-a55f-ba3fa40e4426 | The routine medical inspections afford a splendid opportunity for co-operation between the teaching and the medical staff.

0949c70f-63ec-4b52-aa6d-1ac658e6703d | To these children the end of school life is something more than the end of acquiring information—it is the beginning of a definitely backward tendency, and before long these children are but little better than if they had had little or no education at all.
