07e3b2cb-236d-49bd-babc-89aa5609eb9f | The results of treatment have been satisfactory, but it is still the practice to send the more chronic cases to the Skin Department of the London Hospital with whom we co-operate, and we have reason to be satisfied with these results. The treatment of Ringworm of the Scalp is still undertaken by Dr. W. J. O'Donovan at ... |
188ac85b-5a76-4689-a133-e4700a7bc5cc | The closer co-operation between routine medical inspection and the cases referred therefrom for ophthalmic opinion is more evident this year, and it is interesting, after a perusal of Mr. Gray's Report, to seek a reason for the defect which he states to be one of slight ophthalmic importance. It is obvious, however, th... |
4fa1f266-6e57-4aa9-8553-8b5c70053c68 | It is now possible for defects of hearing, chronic conditions of the nose and sinuses, conditions remaining after infectious disease, etc., to be adequately dealt with at the earliest possible time. It is too soon to 171 quote figures, but I hope in my next Report to be able to show the amount of work done in terms of ... |
5eabfa25-4e5b-4fc0-9fbf-8c9b05bd9aa0 | (h) Orthopædic and Postural Defects.—Mr. B. Whitchurch Howell still continues as the Specialist Consultant for Orthopaedic and Postural Defects, and the number of masseuses has now been increased to three. The time is not far distant when the branches of this Department, which, as I have stated previously in my Reports... |
74039f76-f7f1-442d-a329-86c4fc3e996b | There is, however, no comparable arrangement in Barking itself where patients can undergo prolonged rest and receive education together with medical treatment. (j) Tuberculosis.—The Essex County Council is responsible for the treatment of tuberculosis in Barking, and cases of tuberculosis or suspected tuberculosis are ... |
aa467d78-33e2-43d9-b2ef-83fda9068a6f | Finally, I would say that the time is not far distant when, as envisioned in past Reports, there will be a central out-patients' department, where all special services, including orthoptics, i.e., correction of squint, audiometry, i.e., estimation of hearing, etc., will be united together. (8) INFECTIOUS DISEASES. The ... |

de30ac02-0ac3-4d89-ad5c-1558002f6b59 | During the year we were asked to undertake mass immunisation at the St. Joseph's and St. Ethelburga's Schools. This was done, and three weekly injections of anti-diphtheritic serum were given to 260 children out of a total of about 480 children attending the Schools. These were followed after a period of three months b... |
caba49fd-0ecf-4652-903e-f98d8663dfc2 | The major number of schools in Barking have been built on the new modern plan of free ventilation, open air classrooms, etc., but where the old factory type of school remains, in one or two instances, advantage has been taken of playgrounds for class purposes. School Journeys and Camps.—Educational excursions are arran... |
5d3967f5-ec54-459f-a178-76b1bbc4450a | 175 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. I have received no report from the Organisers of Physical Tra... |
cf56f519-e7b3-44ac-ac7a-b06c986a38aa | The progressive decline in the percentage of school children to population makes it more imperative to preserve and give these children every opportunity for living healthy, useful and enjoyable lives. In Barking the pre-natal clinics, maternity centres, nursery classes, the provision of milk and meals, are some of the... |
56608e33-3fff-44e1-8f10-87f4b8b62070 | Gradually movement becomes more controlled, mobilisation more rapid, and before leaving the Infant classes the elements of the team system have been initiated. In the Junior Schools the tables of exercises are arranged to meet the needs of increasing strength, skill, control, and the widening mental outlook of the chil... |
2594ecf9-81e1-459b-aa3e-aa0b8987cb6d | As a result of the increasing experience of these specialist teachers more effective use is now made of this apparatus and the additional apparatus supplied during the year was particularly welcomed by these teachers. There can, however, be no logical reason why the post primary 177 children in Secondary and Central Sc... |
9f98eec5-6b0c-40fb-89a7-93bec87e61b0 | A feature of this year's work in the Senior Girls' Schools has been the inclusion in the time-table of either Greek or Central European Dancing. This has been received by the girls with great enthusiasm and has resulted in a marked increase in poise and control of movement, and an accompanying lack of selfconsciousness... |
c4b84154-eec3-48c9-ac85-970a90fd6219 | The type of shoe at present in use has given very satisfactory service and we anticipate that a yearly issue of shoes to the extent of approximately 80 per cent, of the school population 178 would suffice to maintain an adequate supply, and we hope that the Committee's decision to supply a pair of gymnastic shoes to al... |
a0d8b6a5-03e8-4abf-b255-26326800a6c6 | As regards the girls, whose kit will consist of two garments, where the boys' consists of single shorts, and will cost approximately 2s. 6d., it is unlikely that parents who found difficulty in providing a pair of shoes for physical training at 1s. 6d. will be able to afford 2s. 6d. for garments which should be kept so... |
051678c3-044d-4a41-a0c0-e52105e1a37f | Extensive renovation work has been carried out during the past year including the ploughing and resowing of the fields at Faircross, Eastbury, Bifrons and Dorothy Barley Schools. This work will necessitate the closure of these fields for at least one year. Fortunately the Southern Belt became available for games and th... |

450f328a-6175-410b-bf70-1ea88f1bdfa9 | (b) Milk.—In addition to free meals as such, free milk is given in certain cases and in this way 103,626 bottles of milk were distributed during 1938. It would appear that the figure this year for free milk has doubled itself, and this does perhaps require some explanation. 188 Malnutrition has been said to be negligib... |
