6f6482c5-5c65-405e-9f73-e3ae67e83995 | This period has been adopted so as to secure in future reports an effective basis for comparison of the work done in different parts of the country, and to correspond with the annual period fixed for the closelyrelated annual report of the Medical Officer of Health. The scope of the report is defined in Circular 596 of the Board of Education, and this report will follow as closely as possible the lines laid down in that circular. As the report is for the information of the Board of Education, as well as of the Local Education Authority, statements of local circumstances and conditions are included which may seem superfluous to the latter. As regards the scope of the report, the Board consider it desirable that it should cover as much as possible of the ground indicated under the following heads :β (a) Hygienic condition of schools. (h) Description of arrangements for co-ordinating School Medical Service and Public Health Service, including (1) Use of Board's Schedule ; (2) Assistance given by Teachers, Nurses, Attendance Officers, etc. |
891318ed-40d3-482b-bd9d-419c282ee50a | ; (3) Co-operation of parents ; (4) Disturbance of school arrangements. 2 (c) Extent and scope of Medical Inspection during the year. (d) Review of results of Medical Inspection. (e) Relations of home and industrial conditions to health and physical conditions of children. (/) Methods employed or available for the treatment of defects, including work of School Nurses. (g) Review of action taken to detect and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including closure of schools or exclusion of children from schools. (h) Review of methods adopted for dealing with blind, deaf, mentally or physically defective and epileptic children. (i) Review of methods of instruction in personal hygiene and temperance in Public Elementary Schools, including physical and breathing exercises and arrangements for open-air or camp schools. The Urban District Council of Acton has an area of 2,305 acres, and estimated population at the end of June, 1913, of 60,000 inhabitants. |
b4017145-5ab8-4ae2-bef0-2428e001a2b1 | The average number of children on the books was 9,362,and the average number of children in attendance throughout the year was 8,425. There are in the district 11 schools and 25 departments. Table I. PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WITHIN THE DISTRICT, TOGETHER WITH ACCOMMODATION. Name of School. Accommodation. 1.

During the year an additional classroom has been built over the Cookery Centre. It accommodates 48 girls, but no increase in the accommodation of the School has been recognised by the Board of Education. Four other rooms have had partitions removed, and fresh ones erected, so that there are now six separate classrooms in place of four. The total accommodation remains the same, but the numbers are grouped more conveniently, and the old system of two classes in one large room has been altered. 4 In older buildings such as the Priory some of the rooms are too dark, according to modern standards, and the light is in the wrong direction. Walls opposite the windows are white-washed to try to increase the light, and precautions are taken not to overstrain the scholars' eyes on gloomy days. South Acton Senior Roys. |
9c072296-3e43-4adb-b25a-4a9c2db4a085 | A new classroom has been built on brick piers over the playground. It accommodates 60 boys, and the recognised accommodation is increased by 40. Acton Boys' School. In Acton Boys' School the old and unhygienic long desks have been replaced by 83 dual desks. It is impossible for the Authority to supply new furniture throughout the schools at once, but a certain sum is set aside each year for renewals. The long desks are bad for growing children ; there is no proper support for the back, and no possibility of adjustment to different heights, so that the children fall into bad positions, and often develop spinal curvature. Beaumont Park Infants. 60 dual desks have replaced the long desks. Roman Catholic School. 70 dual desks have been provided. The school is now completely refurnished. 5 Number of Children Inspectedβ1st January, 1918 to 81st December, 1913. TABLE 2. Entrants. |

The Medical Officers see children daily at the Council Offices at a fixed time, and cases can always be referred to them at that hour by teachers, nurses, or attendance officers. The cases that come up are very various, but may be grouped under the following heads:β 1. Convalescents from infectious diseases and contacts, as described in the paragraphs on the control of infectious disease. 2. Cases excluded from school, but under periodical observation. 3. Cases referred for examination and report by the Education Authority. 4. Special cases referred by the teachers for some defect. 5. Cases having treatment by the nurse, under the vision of the Medical Officers. Last year 1,230 children were seen in this way. |
d3e22ab8-d7a6-4b45-8416-601b01902b30 | There is also a good deal of work done which cannot be expressed in statistics. Parents come up to see the Medical Officers about the health of their children, and the necessity of treatment. These personal interviews are of great value, and it is cheering to notice that some parents will bring up a child as soon as they notice anything wrong, and ask if treatment should be obtained. In such cases, if treatment is necessary, they are referred to their private doctor, or to a hospital, or, in cases of eye trouble, arrangements are made for them to see the School Oculist. The Medical Officers are anxious that parents should regard the school doctor as one who is interested in helping them to keep their children healthy, and not as a new variety of inquisitor.

The discovery of defects and of conditions requiring treatment, though necessary and important, is only a beginning. It is very essential to know whether treatment was obtained, if it was successful, and what was its final effect. Again, many cases do not require treatment at the moment, but need to be kept under medical supervision, so that the conditions of school life may not increase the defect. The following paragraphs give a description of the methods adopted for keeping such cases under review. When a child is foundβeither at the routine medical inspections, or as a special case referred for medical adviceβto require further observation, the particulars are transferred to special " defect cards," of which a specimen is shown here.

They have spaces for particulars about X rays and provision of spectacles. On these cards are entered full medical details of the children. An index is kept of the cards under the heading of schools, and for chronic conditions a cross index is kept under the heading of the diseases. In this way it is possible to estimate the amount of chronic disease among the children in the schools. After each routine inspection at the school, all the children on these " defect cards " come up for review, including all the eye cases. This re-examination is limited as a rule to the point 30 requiring observation or treatment, but when necessary a complete re-examination is made. If treatment has been advised but not obtained, a second notice is sent, and an attempt is made to get a personal interview with the parents. |

It is unfortunate that so small a proportion of parents attend at medical inspection, because a little explanation then is more effectual and less likely to cause annoyance than the receipt of an official notice advising treatment. Moreover, it is often possible to give hints on health and minor points which do not call for an official notice. The percentage of parents present during the inspection of infants is 19, during the inspection of seniors .6. The Priory School shows the highest percentage among the infant departments. If treatment is still not obtained, and the child is being injured by failure to provide it, the next step is for the secretary to send a letter, pointing out the parents' liabilities under the Children's Act, and if this is neglected, the final step is prosecution. This is very rarely needed. Particulars of such cases are given later. |

When a child enters the Acton Schools from another district, a card is sent asking for its medical inspection schedule. If any condition requiring treatment is noted on it, the particulars are transferred at once to a defect card, so that the child comes automatically under review at the Medical Officer's next visit to the school. In most cases the parents have been glad to avail themselves of the treatment offered, but in some instances the working of the system has Caused dismay. One family crossed the border into Acton, thinking to escape the necessity of obtaining treatment, and expecting a long time of peace before the next routine inspection again revealed the defect. When within the first term a notice arrived from the Acton Authorities, their disappointment was deep. |

During the year there were 237 inquiries from outside districts, and we sent out 722, to which 219 answers were received. Of these 24 had defects which needed following up. It will be noted that the Head Teachers refer a large proportion of the cases. Their co-operation is most valuable, and helps to bridge the gaps between the routine inspections. Table 7 gives an analysis of the cases under observation, with statistics as to the numbers who have obtained treatment. The figures are a little more favourable than they appear, as some of the defects were only notified late in 1913, and will doubtless be treated. Most, if not all, of the eye cases will come under this heading. Table 7. Referred Cards Table. No. of Cases. Observation only. |
