The immediate improvement which results is striking, but unfortunately the children sometimes lapse into their former neglected condition shortly after treatment is discontinued. This is largely due to apathy on the part of the parents who will not take the personal trouble to keep the children's eyelids clean, or cann...

In September, 1910, it was decided that an oculist should be appointed to attend once a week to treat those children who were too poor to obtain any advice from their own medical attendant or from hospital, and Mrs. Marshall Banham, M,B., Senior Clinical Ophthalmic Assistant at Moorfields Hospital was appointed. The ex...

Inquiries are made by the Attendance Officers into the circumstances of the parents with reference to their ability to pay for spectacles. In spite of the simplicity of this scheme, parents often raise many difficulties and repeated visits are paid by the School Nurse, or by the S.M.O. (in obstinate cases) to convince ...

Again, the individual character of spectacles is in no way considered. One mother was indignant that her child's spectacles were not considered suitable as she had "bought them from a neighbour whose child was exactly the same age," and many other ingenious excuses come before us in the course of a year's work. Teeth. ...

Dental caries is the precursor of more serious conditions such as malnutrition, enlarged glands in the neck which may pave the way for tuberculosis, and the general health is impaired by the constant swallowing of septic material and the germs of disease which abound in unhealthy mouths. It has been shown that the seri...

Certain firms are now undertaking the production of school dental outfits consisting of a small case containing tooth brush and powder, at a cost of about 3d. per head. However, the utmost that may be done in the way of prevention is not likely to do more than ameliorate the evil, and the question of actual treatment r...

The services of the school nurse are most valuable in rendering some of these children less offensive to the teachers and other scholars, but treatment is tedious and the mothers never carry out the advice given for a sufficient length of time. 91 It may be noted that the percentage of children suffering from deafness ...

It may also be conveyed by indirect contagion by infected brushes or caps. Probably this is a potent source of infection among the school children where small children take the wrong cap by mistake. The present fashion in hats adds to difficulty in treatment—the round wool "aviation" cap is exceedingly popular—any infe...

In two families where the elder scholars had been carefully treated and watched, their relapse was due to the common use of towels with a child of three or four years of age who was suffering from diffuse ringworm of scalp in an active condition. Parents are most unwilling to admit that these younger children have ring...

In a scattered or rural district exclusion from school until the ringworm is entirely healed is the most suitable custom, but in urban districts the children mix so closely with each other out of school hours that close supervision is necessary to prevent the spread of the disease and this can be more easily obtained b...

In one instance during 1910 a boy, R.C., aged 12, was seen weekly for 10 months by the S.M.O., in order to ensure as far as possible that the ointment provided by a hospital was being applied regularly. This was a tedious case both for doctor and patient, and it is probable that a more speedy cure might have been procu...

Severe cases of ringworm and diffuse ringworm of the scalp are excluded from the schools, but the slighter cases or those where the body is involved are treated according to the special needs of each case. All cases are seen by the S.M.O., and are kept under observation. Bacteriological examination for spores is carrie...

In November, 1910, a grant of £10 was sanctioned by the Council towards obtaining X-Ray treatment for selected cases of ringworm. Arrangements are being made with a local practitioner who has had considerable experience as radiographer to one of the London Hospitals to treat selected cases of ringworm, and it is hoped ...
