ef5276e5-fec0-456c-9e23-25f845005a82 | It is very difficult indeed to assess nutrition in terms " excellent," " normal," " slightly subnormal " and " bad," and of course, the personal factor of the examining medical officer is an important one. It must of necessity be some time before a reasonably stable standard of values is available to compare one year w... |
bc9d2095-1a49-42f8-ae0a-5d2864459d47 | The Sisters, not only in your Hospital but elsewhere, all have the same tale to tell, that one of the first duties is to clean up the heads of these infested children, when they are admitted to hospital for one reason or another. It is curious to see what change comes over school-girls soon after they leave school—the ... |

b1095c59-9cd6-45dc-8ca3-5c8d92a9e11e | With such a large floating population as we have in Barking, and the great difficulties which we have experienced subsequent to the large increase in population, it is not possible to give statistical evidence one way or another, but I have asked your consulting ophthalmic surgeon to advise me should he find any eviden... |
7daf16bd-8958-4aaf-8208-66e1413eeefb | This year your officers have examined a much larger number of children, and there is an increase in the number of children requiring treatment and observation for these defects, but I am in the happy position to be able to report further that the 671 children found with such defects represent in proportion to the numbe... |
83278d6f-5852-4e4f-b848-be6ad864e386 | (f) Ear Disease and Defective Hearing.—So far as hearing and the health of the ear are concerned, it is found that quite a high percentage of the children are normal. Of the children examined, 96 per cent. were found to be normal, but contrasting this with what I have said about external eye disease, which is usually s... |
7fd1e864-0da0-4da3-bcdc-f849639ab9ef | I would further emphasise that the large incoming school population seems to have had somewhat less dental service than your own, and the relatively large floating school population makes it difficult for me to compare from year to year the value of the work you are doing in maintaining oral hygiene.

5b4bb9ad-5df4-446f-ab74-b9372aa11458 | These minor defects are oftentimes of the utmost importance to the child—flat feet for instance, whilst by no means a major surgical defect, can lead to a degree of tiredness and consequent nervous exhaustion which militates against the health and happiness of the individual. Minor degrees of a crooked spine can alter ... |
32fa90f8-ac31-4b25-be1d-a313c74324e7 | Now that the scientific experts have made instruments which can accurately measure noises, I am sure that an investigation could be carried out on the relative intensities of the first and second heart sounds among ordinary children in different parts of England, and I am inclined to believe we should find in Barking, ... |

a236da17-01b6-479d-a571-1d87b06552a7 | A curious thing, however, is that oftentimes when such children as these are grown-up and go abroad to the Colonies, they in turn have children who are often better nourished than their parents. Much will have to be done before we can say these children, excellent according to our standards today, are really excellent ... |
72f7d67e-c046-40ae-9814-5a442e863b6b | Whenever they come to your notice, and I think there are very few which do not, each is the subject of a special enquiry, but all this notwithstanding it is unsatisfactory to find even 3.1 per cent. children whose nutrition is considered to be below normal. First, however, I want to dissociate myself from the gloomy pe... |
b10b639f-7020-4416-a0b9-99a7a3be4a1b | From what I have heard of emigrants to Canada it would appear they compare unfavourably in physique with the fine upstanding men who are both born and reared in the wide open spaces of the great farms of Western Canada. 112 It would appear the whole problem of nutrition is largely linked up with dynamic forces rooted i... |
