eb554c1f-4dd5-4aeb-b3b7-0ca65406b678 | Certificates regarding the exclusion from and readmission to school of children suffering from notifiable infectious diseases, non-notifiable communicable diseases and of contacts are sent to head teachers and school attendance officers. The names and addresses of children who are absent from school on account of nonnotifiable communicable diseases are supplied by the school attendance officers on forms specially provided for the purpose and the homes of the cases are visited by officers of the Department. |
0fc83533-996e-40b3-8793-811cc5cc757a | The following table shows briefly the number of children notified and reported suffering from some of the commoner infectious diseases during the past five years:— 1933 1934 1935 1936 1937 Scarlet Fever 169 313 274 224 158 Diphtheria 71 247 174 86 110 Measles and German Measles 4 467 29 570 62 Chicken-pox 390 320 178 132 220 Whooping Cough 69 87 79 149 39 Mumps 23 39 30 18 180 In connection with the above, it has not been necessary to close any school or school department during the year. Immunisation Treatment.—Your service includes immunisation for diphtheria, scarlet fever and whooping cough, and although attendance is fairly good at these clinics, I should be glad to see more parents taking advantage of this service, particularly in the case of children within the early school age-group. |
051b1efa-8fdd-4713-b932-a7c3b74298ba | (9) OPEN-AIR EDUCATION. Open-Air Classrooms and Playground Classes.—You have 14,089 schoolchildren in Barking. 142 I can only emphasise once again that a large proportion of these children are accommodated in what may be called open-air classrooms, these places numbering approximately 10,000 out of 15,000. Where the old factory type of school still remains classes out of doors are still recommended and the fullest use is made of the playgrounds for class purposes. School Journeys and Camps.—Educational excursions are arranged by most of the junior and senior schools to places of interest in various parts of the Country. Arrangements are also made for educational visits to certain local institutions and buildings. The school camps were again used for the health of your school children during the year, and these, as you are aware, are now a permanent feature in Barking. |
7cc40cae-e3be-402e-a49b-b0aafa420c05 | It was not possible to hold a full quota of week-end camps on account of the Coronation Celebrations and the extended Whitsun Holiday. The thirteen camps held, however, were attended by 871 children. During the summer there was a fortnight's holiday camp for 72 girls and 72 boys, and the arrangements as usual were highly commendable. These organised holiday camps are exceptionally well planned, and the forethought and energy of those responsible for the amusement and entertainment of the children is to be noted. Food was again supplied from the Municipal Kitchen for the fourteen days summer camp, whilst for the week-end camps it was again provided by Mr. W. P. Lucas, of Foxburrows, Chigwell Row, Essex. All the food was of a high standard. (10) PHYSICAL TRAINING. There are two organisers of physical training, one for boys and one for girls, and they are responsible for the organisation and supervision of physical training in your schools. |
7ca538c3-7b62-4e05-8ae3-93e43d4bba81 | Special attention is given to the arrangement of organised games, such as netball and rounders, the teaching of swimming and national folk dancing. Each year the organisers of physical training, Miss C. M. Hawkes and Mr. L. E. Last, submit an annual report to the Local Education Authority through the Director of Education, by whose courtesy I have received a copy of their Report for 1937. 143 The following is a copy of this Report:— "ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ORGANISERS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING, 1937. To the Chairman and Members, Harking Education Committee. Ladies and Gentlemen, We have pleasure in submitting the following report on Physical Education in Barking schools during 1937. |
569d7914-c8f2-4aad-8f02-4d624f990886 | In 1930 the development of sound physical education in the schools received tremendous stimulus by the declaration of official policy in the Board of Education circulars 1445 and 1450, and in 1937 emphasis on the necessity for physical fitness has been transferred to those of post school age. The publication in February of a White Paper on Physical Training and Recreation, the subsequent passing of the Physical Training and Recreation Act, and the establishment of the National Fitness Council, assisted by twenty-two area committees, together with the intense publicity accorded the Government scheme, have already done much to awaken the national conscience to the urgent need for improving and extending the facilities for physical training and recreation for persons over school age. The development of sound, healthy physical recreation as part of the social life of the nation will not necessarily follow the mere provision of adequate facilities. |
531ac1ae-3ca7-4695-935f-8d940b034ca7 | The choice of leisure activity will largely depend upon the kind of education people have received and we should therefore ensure that physical education in our schools is laying a sound foundation of appreciation of good physique and of practice in joyous physical activity. In spite of the fact that the national scheme for physical fitness contains no element of compulsion and no insistence upon the efficiency of any system of physical exercises, its unfortunate announcement coincident with the Government's rearmament programme has aroused deep and understandable suspicion in the minds of many people and has done much to hinder the progress of a thoroughly commendable piece of social service. It is hoped that the physical training and dancing display given on the Vicarage Field as part of the town's Coronation Celebrations proved to an interested audience that modern physical education in the schools has little in common with early semi-military systems of drill. The importance attached to individual training should convince anyone that there is no military aspect behind modern pedagogical physical training. |
1efc2529-618b-42e4-b549-18b562e0be22 | Education is the guidance of growth which must take place not only physically and mentally, but spiritually as well, and we are convinced that the self respect engendered by the healthy functioning of a fit body is a vital factor in sound character formation. 144 Physical Education in the Schools. (a) Standard of Work.—A spirit of enjoyment, with continuous activity on the part of the children, now pervades the physical training lessons in the majority of schools. In some cases, however, the presentation of the valuable corrective formal exercises is still too mechanical and indicates a lack of appreciation of the specific aims of these exercises. The stock of physical training apparatus has been increased but is not always readily available for use during playground lessons, and we should welcome a more liberal use of apparatus for these lessons in Junior and Infants' Schools. The games lessons are now probably the weakest feature of the work in most schools, but it is hoped that special games courses for teachers will help to make this training more definite and purposeful. |
4545ef47-7d69-49b0-8d88-ef02b7a1ac67 | (b) Facilities.—The general adoption of the recommendations made in our last report regarding the allocation of time for physical training has led to an increased use of the school halls in the Senior Schools where the provision of gymnasia is a matter of some urgency and we are therefore particularly pleased to learn of the proposed provision of gymnasia for two of these schools. (c) Playgrounds.—The absence of permanent marking throws unnecessary work on the teacher and children every time a lesson is taken, and the generous allowance made for the effective marking out of playgrounds is much appreciated. We would suggest, however, that the present scheme is very costly and it has been difficult to get the work carried out within a reasonable time. (d) Playing Fields.—Through the co-operation of the Parks Committee facilities have been extended for regular organised games in Greatfields Park, Mayesbrook Park, and on the Abbey and Lodge Avenue Playing Fields ; and as a result the majority of children in Senior Schools are now given the opportunity of enjoying one weekly period of games on grass. |
fcf205fe-d32e-474b-ac36-ca37fafd9398 | In some cases this necessitates the use of adult pitches, but until more ground is definitely reserved for school use this difficulty cannot be overcome. Owing to the lack of alternative accommodation the Faircross Playing Field is subject to excessive wear and more playing fields reserved, planned and marked for children's games are urgently required. Changing rooms, with facilities for washing, separate offices for both sexes, a drinking fountain, and storage for games materials should be provided on these fields. It is increasingly evident that in order to obtain full economic value from the small fields attached to some of the schools extra provision should be made for their maintenance. We have submitted a special report dealing with the problem. The development of the Cannington Road site as a playing field would do much to relieve the excessive wear on these small, badly turfed fields. Additional playing field accommodation is urgently required by the Cambell Schools. |
c8af9103-628f-446a-bafd-0adde2801fb1 | 145 (e) Clothing.—It is pleasing to record that in the Junior and Infants' Schools real progress has been made in the adoption of a more rational form of dress enabling movements to be carried out with the necessary vigour and precision. The recommendation made in our last report that senior children should be encouraged to change into vests and shorts or knickers has been generally put into effect in spite of the lack of suitable changing accommodation or provision for the storage of gymnasium kit. (f) Shoes.—The generous experiment made last year by the Committee in supplying 96 pairs of shoes to every school has only served to emphasise the fact that the only satisfactory solution of this problem is that proper gymnastic shoes should be regarded as a necessary part of every child's equipment. The discreet issue of these shoes to deserving cases has presented teachers with a very difficult problem and many parents who previously were providing shoes now say that they are unable or unwilling to do so. |
05d7b899-72ac-4cd3-ba2e-5fd514d56562 | (g) Teachers' Courses.—We acknowledge with thanks the continued permission to hold these classes during school hours. These classes often demand strenuous physical effort from teachers, some of whom are not accustomed to regular vigorous activity. We much appreciate the sympathetic attitude of the Committee regarding the release of teachers to enable them to attend special courses. In order to make safe and effective use of the extended facilities provided in a fully equipped gymnasium the teacher will require a high degree of technical training impossible to provide by means of local courses. Last year 16 teachers sacrificed holidays to attend vacation courses in physical training and this is a pleasing indication of growing interest and enthusiasm. (h) Swimming.—Swimming instruction is rightly regarded as a very important activity in physical education and we regret that approximately fifty per cent, of the children leave the Barking schools without receiving swimming instruction. |
7cecba06-5432-420a-be44-5cfd4c272ba0 | It is, however, very encouraging to know that definite steps are being taken to provide additional accommodation and in the meantime we should be pleased if further consideration could be given to recommendations made last year, viz.:— (1) To employ at the Public Baths and the Park Pool a qualified specialist instructor for boys as well as for girls. This would enable units of forty children to attend the bath in charge of one qualified teacher from the school. (2) To limit the number of children actually in the water to forty. This is very necessary in the case of non-swimmers. 146 (3) To devote the whole of the limited time at the bath to definite progressive class methods of instruction in water practices. The necessary "land drills" should be carried out as part of the normal physical training at school. Number of attendances and certificates gained:— Year. Attendances. Certificates. Public Baths. Park Pool. 100 yds. 50 yds. 30 yds. |
ffdf4bc9-71ff-4cfe-b292-6d47d3d93393 | 1935 22,366 1,468 318 435 624 1936 23,672 1,763 358 483 564 1937 21,646 1,519 300 428 528 The serious drop in attendances and consequently in the number of distance certificates gained was probably due to the following causes—the prolonged 'bus strike in May, the special Coronation holiday, and the indifferent summer weather. The swimming section of the Schools' Central Sports Association continues to do valuable work and enthusiastic teachers devote much of their leisure coaching children in Life Saving and more advanced swimming. (i) Out-of-School Activities.—The splendid voluntary service rendered by members of the Barking Schools' Central Sports Association deserves commendation and support and we feel that their work is seriously handicapped by the present lack of adequate facilities. |
f1e196cd-0daf-4c53-953e-00a56db3a2d4 | The effective organisation and control of competitions, particularly the inter-school competitions, in the major field games and athletics does much to stimulate healthy rivalry between the schools, fosters the development of individual school spirit and generally raises the standard of play. Suitable facilities, however, cannot be provided and reserved solely, or even mainly, for the activities of the Central Schools' Sports Association, but if, as has been suggested, further playing field accommodation be secured for the regular organised school games, suitable amenities should be provided to enable the Association to stage important inter-school and district matches and entertain visiting teams in a manner befitting the dignity of the occasion and worthy of the hospitality of the town. 147 Physical Training for Adolescents and Adults. We realise that our primary duty concerns the development of physical education in the elementary schools, but we should welcome the views of the Education Committee regarding the extension of our work to include the supervision and development of physical training for young people and adults in accordance with the Board's suggestions in circular 1445. |
96c8d805-641a-401a-9e95-18949dd7fdf0 | There is no doubt that the club movement and social work generally would gain much in force and effectiveness through the co-ordinating work of a Juvenile Organisations Committee. At a meeting of club representatives held on the 28th November, 1936, it was agreed to take the necessary steps to form a committee but no further meeting has been held. There is a definite demand for Recreative Physical Training in Barking on the part of women and girls but little has been done to stimulate or satisfy this need, and only one " Keep Fit " class, viz., that arranged for the East Barking Townswomen's Guild, has been formed. At present there are no facilities other than school halls, and few teachers trained in recreative work. In concluding this report we wish particularly to thank the Director of Education for the careful and sympathetic consideration given our proposals during the past year, the office staff for their very willing and efficient service, and the teachers whose ready co-operation has made our work so pleasant. |

(11) PROVISION OF MEALS, MILK AND COD LIVER OIL AND MALT, ETC. (a) Meals.—Free meals are provided daily in necessitous cases. |
493e95f0-4dee-403c-bf65-9b09f88924f0 | During the year 1937, 102,077 free meals were provided, and the following table shows the numbers of free meals which have been provided during the past five years:— 1933 135,726 1934 113,173 1935 112,125 1936 100,859 1937 102,077 150 The Table on pages 148 and 149 summarises the arrangements which exist where mid-day meals are taken at schools. Where nutrition plays a part in the health of the school child, your medical officers carry out special examinations and your school nurses carry out home enquiries when the weight of the child drops appreciably from one examination to another. In these cases re-examination at each school medical inspection automatically controls the supervision of each case. It is in such circumstances that every endeavour is made to ensure milk in school and when occasion arises attendance at your feeding centres. Medical inspection is carried regularly into these centres, where the daily menus are inspected. |
09cd0be3-2c5b-46c5-a768-43851b7b1433 | The following are specimen menus of the dinners supplied:— (1) Monday Roast beef, butter beans, baked potatoes, macaroni pudding. Tuesday Liver and bacon, greens, potatoes, apples and custard. Wednesday Boiled beef, carrots, potatoes, tapioca pudding. Thursday Fried fish, greens, potatoes, baked fruit pudding and custard and a raw apple. Friday Roast beef, greens, potatoes, fruit salad and custard. (2) Monday Roast beef, greens, potatoes, tapioca pudding. Tuesday Fried fish, bread, greens, potatoes, baked sultana pudding. Wednesday Boiled beef, carrots, potatoes, macaroni pudding. Thursday Stewed rabbits, sprouts, dumplings, potatoes, apples and custard. Friday Liver and bacon, greens, potatoes, rice and prunes. It will be obvious that nutrition surveys as such are unnecessary in Barking. |
1e9666c1-b90f-4734-aac4-e2cdb5c77f68 | I have previously mentioned that it would be necessary to employ greater medical staff for such nutrition surveys, but nutrition surveys are less necessary than ever since school medical inspection has tended to become more frequent. (b) Milk.—In addition to free meals as such, free milk is given in certain cases and in this way 55,969 bottles of milk were distributed during 1937. The milk provided is subject, from time to time, to bacteriological and other analysis, and during the year has been found invariably of standard quality. In my Annual Report for 1934, I dealt with this subject from two or three aspects, and find it unnecessary to add to what I wrote on that occasion. 151 During 1937, ½d. bottles of milk were again issued during the school holidays. Thirteen centres covering all schools with the exception of Faircross, Park Modern, Manor, St. Joseph's and St. Ethelburga's, were arranged with voluntary helpers in charge of each centre. |
48e5ba20-bc51-4417-8ab6-c381cbf81d78 | During the summer holidays 3,200 free bottles of milk were issued and 52,609 bottles purchased. (c) Cod Liver Oil and Malt, etc.—On the 1st March, 1937 the Board of Education approved the arrangements you had proposed for the issue of Cod Liver Oil and Malt and similar preparations to ordinary elementary school-children. These preparations are issued from the Central and Woodward Clinics and from the Alexandra, Greatfields and Porters Avenue Centres. Each case is selected by one of your Medical Officers before an issue is made and reviewed before an extension is granted. In addition, each case is re-inspected at school medical inspection. The following table shows the issues made since the inception of the scheme:— Issues of Cod Liver Oil and Malt and similar preparations during 1937. |

The Board of Education ask me to write on co-operation of parents, teachers, school attendance officers and voluntary bodies. I trust that throughout this Report, time and time again, I have expressed thanks for the considerable degree of co-operation which obtains in Barking. |
6dd22d9b-7b86-4328-9d9a-86d006aae23d | 152 The co-operation of parents, teachers, school attendance officers and voluntary bodies and the medical service in Barking is very high, and in expressing once again my thanks to these members I cannot speak too highly of their valued service. It is such a liaison between the departments that makes for an efficient health service. The attendance of parents with their children at school medical inspections, clinics, etc., still continues to be satisfactory and I can only offer my thanks to these parents for the increasing interest they show in their children. School attendance officers as such do not exist, but are investigation officers, as stated in my previous Report. With their co-operation it is possible to eliminate difficulties arising from altered home circumstances. Finally I would mention the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and other voluntary bodies which work actively in the above connection. |
ffc17968-693e-4194-91f7-0d5f7d70b053 | The following table shows the work which has been undertaken in Barking by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children during the last five years:— 1933 1934 1935 1936 1937 Total number of cases investigated 33 24 35 28 25 (a) Prosecutions nil nil nil nil nil (b) Warnings 24 18 29 23 16 (c) Otherwise dealt with 9 6 6 5 9 (d) Supervisory visits 133 131 180 127 156 (e) Cases closed as satisfactory 25 17 29 14 19 Although co-operation in Barking itself is high it is difficult to eliminate some of the barriers which must arise between Local Authorities on the one hand and the large London hospitals on the other hand. |
7a75d5d5-d453-4a12-96ad-c4b44700de3d | A systematic and uniform arrangement of correspondence between the large London hospitals would be a distinct improvement, because some difficulty does arise when patients are referred from hospital to hospital and when there is no interchange of notes. (13) BLIND, DEAF, DEFECTIVE AND EPILEPTIC CHILDREN. The following table shows the number of children who have attended at the Faircross Special School—in the Open-Air, Physically Defective and Mentally Defective Sections—and, in addition, in other parts of the report will be found figures as to how many children have been admitted to the Brookfield Orthopaedic Hospital and elsewhere for orthopaedic conditions:— 153 Open-Air Section Physically Defective Section Mentally Defective Section No. on Register on 31.12.30 99 24 69 No. admitted during 1937 43 14 16 No. |
e98e1acf-9c01-4ccd-9f09-33754033f335 | discharged during 1937:— (a) Decertified 38 7 3 (b) Left district, admitted to Hospital, etc. 19 6 17 No. on Register on 31.12.37 85 25 65 Hereunder are particulars of the number of children maintained by the Authority in special schools outside the district as at December 31st, 1937:— Particulars of School. No. of Cases. |

27d71c1e-fccf-4d35-a18f-23bd39840489 | Mentally defective children are, after consultation, transferred to Faircross School (Mentally Defective Section), but before certification takes place a sufficient time must elapse and investigations must be made to lead up to the necessary action being taken. It is during this probationary period that the question of any physical insufficiency becomes a matter of pertinent enquiry, and it is at this stage I am persuaded that the advice of the medical officer should be obtained. The introduction of A, B and C streams in the schools has unquestionably helped considerably towards the problem of giving each child a course of education specially suitable to his or her needs. If a child under the age of sixteen years is certified incapable, by reason of mental defect, of receiving benefit or further benefit from education in a special school, it is necessary to notify the County Authority. In these cases the parents are usually offered an opportunity of sending the child to an Occupation Centre run by the Essex Voluntary Association for Mental Welfare in the Central Hall, Barking. |
4a5b2648-d820-4615-b373-ce674191c046 | It is maintained that some people do not like their children to attend this Centre as they consider it places a stigma on the child, and it is suggested that this difficulty might be met by holding this Occupation Centre at Faircross School. 155 It has occurred to me that, should the Speech Defect Class be removed from the premises it at present occupies in the precincts of the Faircross Special School, this would be a suitable building to offer the Essex Voluntary Association for use as an Occupation Centre for these children. Residential Schools.—The time has come when you are considering the upkeep and maintenance of a few places at such a residential school as the Ogilvie School of Recovery, whereby cases so ill that attendance at school is impossible may yet receive treatment and education relative to their individual needs. I do trust that during 1938 something will be done towards this end. (14) FULL-TIME COURSES OF HIGHER EDUCATION FOR BLIND, DEAF, DEFECTIVE AND EPILEPTIC STUDENTS. |
1d2871a3-3d74-4ba3-8b31-66927ec30581 | The Local Education Authority do not maintain any courses of training for Blind, Deaf, Defective and Epileptic students. (15) NURSERY CLASSES. This year you have decided to set up nursery classes in certain of your schools, and in my next Report you will probably have more detail as to the working and management of these classes from the health point of view. (16) SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION. The prophecy outlined in my previous Report of the unification of your medical services with those of the Essex County Council has come to pass and now your medical service undertakes the routine medical examination of the children attending the Barking Abbey School and the Day School of the SouthEast Essex Technical College. Routine inspection of these children for dental defects is also similarly undertaken. |
bebffb2b-552d-458b-9c09-545a754ba5fc | The service is in itself much the same as that carried out at your elementary schools and includes the employment of your special treatment services, e.g., orthopædic, ophthalmic, dental, etc. 156 On pages 188 to 196 will be found tables showing the routine inspections, treatments, etc., carried out during the year at these Secondary Schools. What would appear to be a decrease in the number of children so examined and treated at your elementary schools will thus be explained and in effect it will be seen that the total numbers actually undertaken show an increase. Many of the children attending these schools are from outlying districts of Essex whose services would be difficult to compare with those services, which have been outlined, for elementary school children in Barking. (17) PARENTS' PAYMENTS. From time to time you have had under consideration arrangements for the recovery of cost of treatment from parents of children attending public elementary schools. No alterations have been made during the year 1937. (18) HEALTH EDUCATION. |
255beb65-345d-4042-aa08-f29505b26ad9 | The inculcation of habits, rather than the academic teaching of abstruse principles amongst children is a matter I still reiterate. A fact which must obviously commend itself is that you are setting up nursery classes in the new year when it will be possible for habits to be inculcated into children at an earlier age than has been possible heretofore. At these classes the children will be taught habits of cleanliness—teeth cleaning, washing, etc. Up till now the children at your Special School were the only ones supplied with a tooth brush of their own and who had tooth brush drill as part of their curriculum, but this will now be part of the system to be commenced in the nursery classes. The Senior Dental Officer does from time to time give lectures on oral hygiene. At the end of the year there has been a National Health Campaign and posters and pamphlets have been supplied to schools, encouraging the call to a " Fitter and Healthier Britain." (19) SPECIAL INQUIRIES. |
a28ed42b-f75c-4da4-baea-efcb2c8f9c78 | No special inquiries were carried out by your staff during the year 1937. 157 (20) MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Examination of Teachers.—During the year, 39 medical examinations were carried out of applicants for teaching posts under the Local Authority. I am still persuaded there are serious grounds for suggesting the necessity of co-ordinating the medical examination of entrants to Training Colleges with those of other examinations. (b) Part-time Employment of School-children.—Milk and newspaper deliveries, general errands, etc., are the usual forms of employment of school-children. In accordance with the byelaws of the Education Authority, 51 applicants of school-age submitted themselves for medical examination prior to employment. Of this number 47 were passed as being fit for employment. (c) Juvenile Employment.—In September, 1935, the Board of Education issued Administrative Memorandum No. 137 dealing with the question of co-operation between the School Medical Service and Juvenile Employment and Advisory Committees. |
3ab9bed9-c8dc-449d-9498-c711372dab4e | The Board requested that procedure should be initiated whereby the Juvenile Employment Officer should be advised as to the specific unsuitability of certain children for particular types of work, this information being made available by your medical officers at the last routine examination of the children. During 1937 the following recommendations by your medical officers were forwarded to the Juvenile Employment Officer :— 50 Children unsuitable for severe manual work. — „ „ „ sedentary occupation. 36 „ „ „ exposure to bad weather. II „ „ „ work in a dusty atmosphere. 11 „ „ „ work near moving machinery. 22 ,, „ ,, work involving prolonged standing. 19 ,, ,, ,, work causing eye strain. 27 „ „ „ work requiring acute distant vision. 3 ,, „ „ work requiring acute hearing. The above recommendations relate to 98 school-children. 158 SERVICES PROVIDED FOR SCHOOL-CHILDREN. |

Dear Sir, The statistical returns show the type of cases treated and a marked increase in the numbers attending for consultation and treatment. Several cases of acute anterior poliomyelitis have been seen in consultation with the medical staff, and have been treated by the orthopaedic masseuses, Miss Roe and Miss Barns, at the Barking (Infectious Diseases) Hospital and, later, either at the Brookfield Orthopaedic Hospital, or the Orthopaedic Clinic.

WHITCHURCH HOWELL, F.R.C.S. Orthopædic Surgeon. 169 REPORT OF SENIOR DENTAL OFFICER. To the School Medical Officer, May, 1938. Barking Borough Council. Sir, I have the honour to submit the School Dental Report for the year 1937. |
0b1c4191-7c37-4a68-be6c-f4383bae5c46 | In the months from January to September inclusive, only two Clinics were available owing to the fire which completely immobilised the East Street Dental Clinic. An endeavour to overcome the handicap was made by introducing three sessions per diem at the Central and Woodward Clinics, the third session in each case being an evening one. These evening sessions were sparsely attended during the winter months as parents were against journeys in the dark, and in the summer months there was a disinclination to spend time at a Clinic after school hours. Also it was noticeable that patients, even those who were known to be regular and friendly, were not so amenable to treatment after spending a day at school studies. Tiredness, and lack of resistance to discomfort were evident nnd the scheme, an emergency one, in the matter of returns and popularity was not a success. |
f66948bc-881c-4011-92a6-5af8cd65478b | During the year under review, the dental treatment of the Day School of the South-East Essex Technical College was taken over by arrangement with the Essex County Council and although the dental work of this school is dealt with elsewhere in this Report (pages 155 to 156 and 195 to 196) it is relevant to state that the extensive work required to render the pupils of this school dentally fit, much being of a heavy exacting type, has occupied much of the time previously devoted to Barking elementary schools. Extraction of temporary teeth show a welcome decrease, the comparable figures being 10,702 in 1936, and 8,233 in 1937. The extraction of permanent teeth also shows a decline, 2,046 being the figure for 1936, and 1,741 for 1937. Fillings are on the increase, the figure of 6,284 being 1,629 higher than for 1936. |
1351b9af-836a-4e5a-b37c-6cec18e39705 | The number of other operations remains approximately the same but casual patients at 906 show a regrettable increase of 200. The very fine total of 6,284 fillings together with a reduction in extractions of approximately 2,500 must impress the Committee of the more enlightened attitude of parents and children in respect of 170 dental treatment and as this occurred in a year not stimulated by a National Health Campaign it would go to show that the popularity of the Services provided by the Council is established and the professional efforts of the Staff appreciated both in operative work and considered advice. It now remains for a comprehensive scheme for the dental treatment of adolescents to be started, either nationally or by local government, to prevent the years following school years from being the lean years of dental health for those willing to accept treatment, but finding no existing scheme within their financial scope. There is still a rigid wall of objection to the filling of deciduous teeth. |
6f2f38cf-cbb1-4b44-9ad2-d412223280e2 | It can be breached, but only slowly, for it is cemented with hereditary and traditional disregard which is expressed in the constant reiteration of "I don't believe in it. They are only first teeth after all." Patience and a younger generation with a more enlightened outlook should solve the problem. The orthodontic treatment is still gaining in popularity and much good work is accomplished. The Head-Masters, Head-Mistresses and their staff have proved very valuable allies during the year and I desire to record the able assistance rendered to the Dental Service by the Medical, Nursing and Dental staff in their whole-hearted co-operation and kindness. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, W. H. FOY, (l.d.s., r.c.s., eng.), Senior Dental Officer. 171 REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE OPHTHALMIC CLINICS. May,1938. To the School Medical Officer, Barking Borough Council. |
daa1573d-2187-4887-a589-3b2ddcb50856 | Dear Sir, Probably it is true to say that in no other department of Medicine is there more scope for the prevention of disability than in Ophthalmology. At the present time, much is said about general fitness and the importance of physical training and games. Good vision is a necessity for all this. During the age period covered by the school clinics, several eye diseases are liable to occur, some of which are disabling, some disfiguring but all of them can in great measure be prevented. In newly-born infants inflammation of the eyes is not uncommon. It varies from stickiness of the eyes to a severe infection destructive of vision. This is Ophthalmia Neonatorum. It is rare in Barking, for elaborate precautions are taken to prevent its occurrence. It is common knowledge that the general body health, if undermined by disease or unsuitable feeding, can affect the eyes. In children up to school leaving age a superficial affection of the eyes may result. |
1894a735-3bab-4944-b025-7b71011a624d | This is especially common when the diet is lacking in essential vitamins. It is not so much the lack of nourishment as a bad choice in food—fresh fruit and fats being inadequate in quantity. In Barking there is a special scheme for dealing with such cases. Here they are called V.D.D. which means Vitamin Deficiency Disease, and when such a case is seen, the home conditions are investigated and the diet adjusted. Where cure is delayed because of poor general health the child is sent to Faircross Open-Air School and extra nourishment in the form of free dinners, milk or cod liver oil is given. The combination of fresh air and good food is generally effective. In winter the lack of sunshine is remedied by the artificial sunlight clinic. At the same time the child is examined for any septic condition which may be helping to lower its health and well-being. Many years ago it was pointed out that such cases had frequently bad teeth and enlarged tonsils. |
a0df5b38-6cee-40a4-82ee-130e25bdd251 | This however is rare in Barking and I believe that the condition is chiefly due to faulty feeding. Such a scheme as has been outlined above provides for continuity of treatment and is superior to convalescent homes 172 in that respect. It also does not interfere with education. No child is discharged from Faircross Special School unless for the preceding six months the eyes have been free from all inflammation. Each child is subsequently examined at the clinic once every three months. There remains short sight or myopia as it is called. This is in its worst degrees a crippling disease and causes much disability. It begins in childhood and is sometimes hereditary. Though the cause of myopia is unknown, some conditions seem to produce a gradual increase in severity. These indicate the line of treatment. Thus, excessive reading, knitting and other close work are deleterious to myopes. This year, I have examined 226 cases of short sight, and the parents of those children have been asked how often the child reads. |
3893df30-08e7-433d-92a5-5056c0e619de | The answer has nearly always been "The child is always reading." So invariable has been the reply that it seems desirable that every school child who is always reading should be discouraged from too much study. The method adopted for dealing with myopia is first the provision of suitable glasses. A letter is then sent to the parent giving advice as to limiting the amount of close work out of school, and to encourage open-air pursuits. At the same time the Head Teacher is informed. Each case is re-examined at the Clinics—usually every six months—so that myopic children are under supervision throughout their whole school career. Myopia, however, is relatively common and would not justify interference with schooling in the average case of mild degree, so in the first instance such children take the ordinary school curriculum. If it is found that the myopia is increasing quickly, a scheme of what is called "easy schooling" is instituted. This involves the curtailment of the amount of reading, etc. |
8ce2718b-43e7-4e41-8eec-60308aed1830 | As this is usually sufficient it is in only a small percentage of cases that "special schooling" is found necessary. A reference to Table II on page 173 brings out some interesting facts. In the first place the success of giving ordinary education to myopic children has been established, for out of 226 cases only 37 increased in severity and only four were of such degree that "special schooling" was necessary. When increase in short-sight occurs it is usually within six months. This might at first suggest that the provision of glasses, the special letters and other measures had not sufficed but it must be remembered that no statistics are available of children when no treatment has been undertaken. It is thus a deduction more apparent than real and the large numbers of myopes whose condition has remained stationary lends support to this view. It is frequently asked if the child is better say after twelve months. |
348de48b-c443-49bb-8ada-a31e30ab9511 | Of course, there is no question of this because myopia is a permanent condition and the aim of all control methods must be to prevent the short sight increasing. I believe that this is possible in the majority of cases, but it necessitates co-operation on the part of the children themselves, the parents and the educational authorities. 173 STATISTICS RELATING TO THE WORK OF THE OPHTHALMIC CLINICS DURING 1937.
