On the l... |
c6fb1962-ccc7-4bcd-850e-687be8cae884 | Answer:—The answer to this question is undoubtedly "Yes," but the odds are that you will not have to put your hat and coat on and go to the Clinic because there is a Health Visitor for your district, and it is almost assured that either your neighbour—on the one side of you or across the road—knows this Health Visitor ... |

Here again, arrangements can be made for your child to attend our Orthopaedic Clinic to receive, under the direction of the senior physiotherapist, specia... |
23359137-3207-4ee7-89d9-43365d3b649b | During the year one thousand four hundred and forty-two home visits were made. Question:—Is it necessary for me to be present when my child is medically examined at school unless there is something to which I specially want to draw the doctor's attention ? Answer:—The answer is Yes, and I mean Yes, even for the older g... |
ba4a8e13-d3d0-45f1-9948-1ed66b855120 | Constantly I am saying that such medical inspections are a general review of the child as a whole. At these examinations we have a doctor present; we have a Health Visitor who very possibly has known the child from infancy, and whenever it is at all possible either the Head Teacher or the class teacher is present, and ... |
f7394701-88eb-41d1-98ae-a02123ee659c | It has been said we are a mongrel nation and although we do not like the word used in such a statement, we are bound to admit that the statement is true; it is just so difficult to say what should be the normal height and weight of an Englishman as it is to say what is the normal height and weight of a dog; both dogs a... |

72dd2716-dc05-4fac-a95b-15effdd855c5 | Fortunately for us in this country our ordinary food does contain by far the greater amount of all the vitamins we require; particularly, of course, where the thoughtful mother does see that her child has the proper amount of milk every day, an orange now and then, and does see that the cabbage, when it is cooked, is n... |
c842b178-fecb-4b5b-b02c-ef1f0ed36639 | Tran, my Senior Dental Officer, to answer in detail, but I have a few general observations to offer and they are that most children require dental treatment at a far earlier age than is commonly supposed. If you look at a most beautiful moorland scene with glorious heather you think it perfect, but if you only stoop do... |
219e0739-1761-437f-8734-7599c0793df1 | It is so necessary to save the milk teeth because otherwise the jaw will not develop so well as it otherwise would. What Mr. Tran says on this subject is as follows:— " Why do some children's teeth decay sooner than others? Page 5 Why do some children walk sooner than others? One might dismiss both these questions with... |
39ff8cbb-09bf-4199-bd03-cbffcf99232b | The process of hardening or calcification of the teeth takes place after the teeth have been primarily formed, such process being a spasmodic process rather than a continuous process, and should the calcium intake not be sufficient during a period of calcification then the teeth will suffer accordingly. Numerous childh... |
dc0204ac-1077-4bf0-ae33-c27045638690 | The teeth should be cleaned at an early age and the sooner the child is taught the use of the toothbrush the better it will be for the child's health. A child may have bad teeth and apparently be quite healthy but illness is likely to strike at any moment and at such time it is essential that the patient should have th... |
a0f99d6a-8258-4e51-877e-0f70eaf99de0 | It is little more than useless for the child to clean the teeth before going to bed and then for the child to be given some snack such as bread and butter or biscuits which foodstuffs remain on the surfaces of the teeth throughout the night when the mouth is dry and not even the saliva is available to wash them clean. ... |

7cde2f75-70aa-410f-ba5f-d13eafec9855 | DON'T frighten the child with fantastic stories of the horrors of dentistry. I once heard a Head Teacher tell his boys at a routine dental inspection: "You wait until you get to the clinic, the dentist will pull your head off." I hasten to add that this incident was not in Barking. Such a "joke" might be well taken by ... |
c310c5f2-1fed-40d8-9314-48b706f2d0fc | It is a curious thing that mothers are not quite so worried about their boys having to wear glasses, but I have found—particularly with girls who are growing up and are about fifteen years of age—that there are a number of them who do not want to wear glasses and show considerable ingenuity in trying to get an opinion ... |
b4e60cf8-e1eb-400d-9e99-7dc5e6418273 | Elsewhere I have told of how the Service commenced in the old Moot Hall; the stairway to the upstairs hall was very dark, and what they did was for the child to sit on one stair; the doctor to stand on some stairs Page 7 below, and for a nurse to sit behind the child with a light so that the doctor could shine the ligh... |
43deae5d-7f1a-4c98-932f-1f7eff78228d | What was more, whereas at these hospitals a person may have seen a relatively junior doctor, in Barking the whole of the work was undertaken by Mr. Gray himself. As the volume of the work has increased it has been found necessary —at least for a time—for some of the less exacting work to be undertaken by a medical prac... |
7ce6ea4a-8da4-4e59-85ff-e58c854e7d2d | I hear to-day of alternative arrangements, but I still hold the view that the examination of children's eyes deserves the very best that we can give; that it is a part of medical examination, and that this work can only properly be carried out where you have a Consultant Specialist to direct it, and medical practitione... |

b4532dff-f821-4b02-8b2f-30d00dbee7f7 | Is this not rather high for a school population of only twelve to thirteen thousand ? The answer is definitely No. There can be no doubt that everybody tends to cut a garment according to the cloth, and where there are no proper arrangements for the treatment of orthopaedic cases the doctors and nurses, whilst striving... |
50324d5d-9b4a-4151-8e59-98c22b24a409 | What I want to stress is that from the standpoint of the welfare of the child, whilst it is very important to look after the major defects it is even more important to look after the many minor defects. There is the possibility that owing to the war and to the constantly changing school population of Page 9 Barking, th... |
4eafdef7-971f-4abc-864b-05efa80b8c03 | The scope of the work of a Chiropodist is the "treatment of malformed nails and superficial excrescences occurring on the feet, such as corns, warts, callosities and bunions," whilst the Orthopaedic Clinic deals not only with feet but all other parts of the body, and not only for minor troubles, but also for major trou... |
64de76da-863a-4ea9-8020-1bb80471eab9 | Answer:—So much has been written on this subject that it is difficult to condense it into a few lines. I am persuaded it is of paramount importance that a child should be immunised against Diphtheria, and that we must be willing to pay a price for this, even if it does mean there may be a risk. So far as Infantile Para... |

d71252a9-e695-415c-b41e-394c4cdf057b | Answer:—If you are thinking of a family living on a remote farm in the depth of the country, then I think it only right to say that these specially protected children are more likely to get Measles and other infectious diseases when they go to school than before they go to school, but even this is modified by the fact ... |
938e65c2-085c-4672-97e9-25b04b994bf8 | This reminds me of an interesting research undertaken in a large Infectious Diseases Hospital where it was found that children rarely caught another infectious disease when they were in hospital for a particular disease and that, indeed, the chance of their doing so was less in hospital than it was among a similar grou... |

7d0a741f-6ee1-4975-8c9f-cd008684e141 | Now although I believe in being painfully frank in these my remarks, I do not wish it to be thought that we cannot come to a very shrewd opinion without the necessity of going through what can only be a very long study of an individual case—a study which takes up so much time that it is impracticable to use it in a lar... |
762430ef-13cf-49ea-b226-a7f30f2997a1 | If you are not musically inclined, let me explain this in a little further detail. The cough starts with a little cough at the back of the throat as though the child has a tickling at the back of the throat; it then increases and increases and increases in violence so that the child is breathing out more than he is bre... |
50472148-b4ad-42bc-a803-8b3323a33950 | Answer:—The risk in Barking last year, as well as the average for the last five years, was less than one in two thousand. One thing is quite clear, however, and that is we are going to get an apparent increase in the cases of Infantile Paralysis or, as I prefer to call it, Anterior Poliomyelitis. It is now commonly kno... |
3aa7ba96-6e6f-4f76-aa5c-5c611c2f2fe6 | There is at the present time a very extensive research being conducted into Infantile Paralysis; whether anything will come of it I do not know, but I am not very hopeful. The prevention of Infantile Paralysis is not one of those things of which I can say we have reason to believe that the answer is "just round the cor... |
a3b7ac7c-a4fe-490a-8221-3614666a3a8a | It is an experiment which cannot be tried out in a test-tube or on animals; it can only be tried out by actually testing the children themselves. What happens is this—all the children whose parents volunteer are X-rayed, and in other ways tested for tubercle. This is a special examination, much more detailed than can b... |
4fb99289-e662-4b38-9f43-2829f5c44f94 | These children are selected by your doctors, principally by the Tuberculosis Officer, and the Tuberculosis Officer is the expert in this matter. These children (who, for one reason or another, should be treated) in my opinion must be treated. Not that I mean compulsion should be used— indeed, we hope there will never b... |
1f0a5c3f-e710-44a0-9e12-a4a4f8d06b03 | Question:—My daughter is fourteen years old and gets spots on her face.

Answer:—The answer to this question is that the two submissions are correct. I think that the girl should undoubt... |
5c98bea6-bfd1-44d5-a402-1d8b12a46bda | It may— may, I say—be nothing more and nothing less than nerves, or it may be due to other causes, but it is always wise to get at this fundamental constitutional trouble if it is at all possible to do so. Spottiness should never be looked upon as natural and something which will naturally clear up; it should always be... |
9910b4ed-df43-433e-9e59-b72ab0d3c4a0 | The first thing to remember is that most of us wash too much and use far too much soap. This takes away these natural greases from the skin and renders the skin more liable not only to major ailments, but to minor ailments such as dry scurf. If little Tommy has his face washed thoroughly once a day to take off the grim... |
67690b2d-b651-4ee6-ac58-67b6ade2b782 | I am afraid the popularity I may have with little Tommy on account of the views I hold will be off-set by the unpopularity of my views by the mothers and teachers. Then again there is the question of wind. It is not every person whose skin will stand up to going out into a howling wind and, what is more, it is not ever... |
0a65e3ec-ef79-4b57-8b45-a550d560091b | Answer:—It seems to me that this question can best be answered by referring enquiries to the Ministry of Education Circular 179 dated the 4th August, 1948. In so far, however, as this is not available for everybody, I would wish to make two quotations and I would like to give my personal assurance that I have not lifte... |

dd7c2f78-c23e-4c54-86d7-045b86d1f245 | The older girls or, indeed, girls of any age, must be taught to adopt simple hair styles; to avoid tight curls and, indeed, to avoid anything which is likely to mean that they will not brush or comb their hair at least twice a day. Question:—Should all handicapped children attend Special Schools ? Answer:—The answer to... |
468e49ad-5fca-4dac-adf3-daff3775cf4a | Where a child is so handicapped that he or she cannot derive proper benefit from going to an ordinary school, or where it would be too dangerous for him or her to do so, or where their presence in the school is likely to upset the efficiency of that school, then it is a question that "needs must when the devil drives,"... |

e07827f9-a163-4da7-8a13-6c04cead8228 | You see the plain, blunt fact is that if a child is a little feverish, and if a child has growing pains, then you can "bet your bottom dollar" that child is suffering from rheumatism. The attack may be of very short duration—indeed—it may even be that the child is so little off colour that he, or she, is not put to bed... |
633f53e5-d5e3-411f-aaa4-b99a205752e7 | Answer:— You have been out in the country and you have seen mushrooms and toadstools and other fungi, some of which are the most curious shapes and most gorgeous colours, but—believe it or not— Athlete's Foot is the same sort of thing, save only that they do not grow up like mushrooms. So far as mushrooms are concerned... |

The best way of dealing... |
128d018b-e02b-407a-894f-813858b10791 | My point, however, is why do some skins seem to invite this fungoid growth and some do not, and here I believe it is a lot to do with the health of the skin. People do, particularly in summer time, need to take their shoes and socks off. What would happen to your hands if you went about with leather gloves on all the t... |

I am very happy that although I had been warned of this question it was never actually put to me, and t... |
2d9701ab-204d-4738-a0aa-91e3f215cc08 | I suppose Cod Liver Oil is one of the most difficult things to persuade a child to take, but after many years of experience I am convinced it is the pained look on the face of the mother who has to give it to her child, rather than to the inherent qualities of the Cod Liver Oil itself which makes the child detest it. I... |
1b96d865-5569-44e4-936b-297613b2b9a8 | Page 18 From a health standpoint does part-time employment put an undue strain on children ? If the part-time employment does not take any more out of the child than the child would spend in normal recreation during the same period of time, then the answer to this question is "No," but if the part-time employment means... |
49295a99-1ebc-4d4b-8aa1-86981307d24c | Question:—Showers after gym: are they beneficial ? Answer:—The plain answer to this blunt question is that baths are always beneficial. It is difficult to think of anybody in the course of twenty-four hours taking too many, and certainly I recommend them heartily after gym. In the first place, after gym many, if not al... |
8758f156-480b-4e98-937e-60bfd21c953c | If you do not believe that the pores of the skin contain a lot of dirt just go to a Turkish Bath; you can have an ordinary bath half an hour before you go, but when you get to the Turkish Bath and begin to sweat, scrape yourself, and you will be surprised to find that the sweat is not so clean as you might think it wou... |
85266b7d-d4da-4800-95e1-5527d0194a69 | Number of children medically examined for part-time employment 88 Number found medically unfit 1 Page 19 Now, although I have answered the question which has been put to me I want to say a little more, and that is, it is my opinion these showers do not lead to colds. To every medical opinion which is expressed so posit... |
2010a644-4c41-4fcb-b11c-d7d2c8cc01bd | There may, of course, be individual homes where, because father has got to go to work at one time and an older brother go off at another time, and an older sister at yet another time, it may be a matter of difficulty in fitting in a time when the child can have his meal quietly and at peace, and be at school by 9.30 in... |
834d15d6-b8d4-48fe-bca6-a278ef5dd1c7 | Question:— Should sleeping after dinner be extended to Infants' Schools from Nursery Classes, and if so, how far ? Answer:— So far as I know all healthy animals, when they have had a good meal, go to sleep and—of course—we know that a snake after he has had a heavy meal goes to sleep for quite a long time. Everybody sh... |
64477c8b-cd4b-426a-97ea-4ffae0248868 | All this in turn means that something has got to go without so far as the blood supply is concerned, and incidentally amongst other things the blood supply to the brain is not so good after a meal as it is some time before. For these reasons everybody, if possible, should sleep after a meal, and if it could be arranged... |
ae8ec7f0-7d89-4aeb-ba21-ef252f457a8a | One of the things which never ceased to amaze me when I had to do with a large number of children at the hospitals was how, if they were put to bed for four, five or six weeks, they had grown out of their clothes by the time they got up again which shows, of course, that they were not getting enough rest before they ha... |
2bc6cf16-057f-4d94-865b-1c6dcc99d50e | Answer:— This question is not nearly so easy to answer as might appear because although the answer in a number of cases is straightforward, in other cases it is not unusual for a combination of circumstances to lead up to the defect. It is quite obvious that where a child is deaf, where there is malformation of the tee... |
25d3650b-e3db-4e3b-9af8-fd8423c7cad2 | If you watch a baby breathing it is spasmodic and there is no rhythm in it; indeed, the same is more or less true of all children up to the age of about seven, by which age the rhythm is gradually established. Some children do not develop this breathing sufficiently at the time they begin to speak, and amongst these ch... |
89335c77-b007-46f5-a4a8-439e6160e888 | SPEECH CLINIC Number of new cases treated 36 Total attendances 1,097 Page 21 Associated with this is the question of emotional disturbance. This is what is known as a vicious circle. A child who is emotionally upset tends to stammer or to have some other speech defect, and as a result of the speech defect the child is ... |
3a1ffea2-2820-4986-8ec5-2bae5ebf3bcc | What I want to put on record, at the cost of repeating myself, is that the children at Hydon Heath Camp did exceptionally well during the winter provided they had had a sufficient stay there during the previous summer in order to tone themselves up, as it were, for the coming rigours of the winter-time. With regard to ... |
1f8b2ec3-f017-4c38-86a3-324f2de66f15 | This is the time when children become more dependent than ever on their mothers and their home life, and it does take them some time to adjust themselves to the more communal life of a Convalescent Home. During this time they are not making the progress they otherwise would; so much so that it can reasonably be said it... |
63faee93-0108-457a-b89f-abf9047743b7 | I have not written very much because there is so little that can be done. These children are out of joint with their environment but this does not mean, as I have stated so many hundreds of times, that there is of necessity anything wrong with the child; that is, it does not mean the child is maladjusted within himself... |
a88043d9-8e22-451e-8ad5-3e455280d319 | It is only recently that I, myself, without being smacked in the face, was certainly met with disapproval, and I thought I was doing what was best to be done in such a circumstance. In certain circumstances we do refer these children to Child Guidance Clinics, but it is our hope that the people at the Child Guidance Cl... |
98ddd8d8-cdc7-46bd-aea9-01b2616949b1 | Personally I believe it is only when we are prepared to accept a simpler way of living, which does not make so many demands on the mother of the family and which gives the father a fuller share than he has to-day in the bringing up of the family, that we shall find our answer to this problem, which I believe to be one ... |
620c06b8-bfe7-4439-b916-8f58c6750ec6 | Very many of these children are definitely artistic; when seeing flowers, they see more than we see and it is not uncommon for them to daub with paints in order to try to make a picture of a pansy or a butterfly; also so very many of this type of child show an appreciation of high-class music such as is quite uncommon ... |
d4d25764-4883-4d8d-a3ed-a08cb105a30f | These boys are out of adjustment so far as class life is concerned and must be a trial to their teachers; they are out of touch with regard to their class mates and the boys and girls they meet in the playground because from so many standpoints they are years and years older than the children with whom they are mixing,... |
abd8e5bb-b508-46f7-b6a5-1831890210e6 | He is now a Research Associate in the Department of Endocrinology and Assistant Professor of Oncology in the University of Georgia, United States of America, and although I must say that I was not very impressed with results, I did learn that there is a very great need for further study of this problem and that if we h... |
f58f5fa1-6b13-4855-bde3-33a924b67028 | Rhythmic Dancing is good because it satisfies one of our innermost urges. Human beings and, so far as I know, animals also are fond of rhythm. This is a curious mental phenomenon and I believe it requires satisfying so much as many of our other inherent urges. Because Rhythmic Dancing satisfies one of our fundamental u... |
