All cases are first examined by the S.M.O., and selected ones are sent to the School Oculist, who reports on the treatment required. Various cases of external eye disease are treated by the School Nurse, under the supervision of the S.M.O., and much improvement results in neglected cases, though sometimes the gain is n...

Again, notices are served calling attention to the fact that the atropine ointment necessary in refraction cases will appear to temporarily affect the sight, and asking for the parents' consent to the treatment before its commencement. The ointment is applied in school by the School Nurse for four days before the child...

On one occasion the parents changed their minds twice during a day as to permission to continue interrupted treatment. In another case, where the child had been treated the full number of times and failed to appear before the Oculist, it was found that the father (who was a coster) had taken the child with him that aft...

In 1909, a child, D. S. (in a Junior Department), was found suffering from defective sight and advised to procure glasses. A hospital letter was given for treatment at a special eye hospital, and the mother promised to take the child, but always failed to keep her word. Seventeen visits were paid by the School Nurse, m...

On enquiry, it was found these glasses had been obtained from an optician, and not through the hospital letter provided. Finally, D. S. was brought up to the S.M.O., with a message from the optician, who had been again visited, to say that " the girl's sight was very bad, and the school doctor had better see to it." D....

This is often a tedious business; for instance, in two cases visits were paid for over three months in order to collect the sum of 3s. in each case. During the past year 198 children were examined by the Oculist. They paid 345 visits, 93 prescriptions for spectacles were given, and spectacles were obtained in 90 cases....

This is probably due to the coarser food given during early life, which acts as a mechanical cleanser and develops the use of the jaw, whereas well-cooked food requires less mastication and soft, starchy foods tend to collect round the bases of the teeth and cause decay. On the other hand, if Nature's supply has proved...

Prizes were given for the most perfect teeth: the children were classified in four age-groups, with three prizes for each age-groups. The entrance fee for the competition was l½d., in return for which each competitor received a toothbrush and box of tooth powder, the two costing 5d. bought wholesale. All these methods ...

It happened that during 1911 there was a considerable increase in the amount of ringworm existing in the district. This is partly due to the etiology of the disease, as it is known to become almost epidemic at intervals; and another source of infection lies in the shifting nature of the population. It is, unfortunately...

Treatment is carried out at his private residence, and after treatment the child again visits the Radiographer, for him to sec the progress of the case, and each scholar is finally seen by the S.M.O. before re-admission to school.

On questioning the children, we find they are given slices of bread and butter for a mid-day meal, or we are told, " We hots something up for ourselves"—an answer given by a diminutive member of a large family. An alternative to this is that the children are given coppers to buy food, and then the diet selected is more...

The children eat a heavy meal before bed-time, which leads to indigestion, disordered sleep and night terrors; their sleep is often taken in rooms heavy with the smell of cooking and ill ventilated (for the gospel of the window open at night as well as day is not yet sufficiently preached), and with 101 the bustle of f...

On examination in several cases it was found 102 that these children had extensive dental caries, so that the nerves of the teeth were exposed.

There seems to be an increasing tendency to purchase readymade clothing at the shops, and the value of timely repairs to save underclothing is not understood.
