The record of one of the girls started as soon as she entered school in 1921, and before her school career came to an end she was found to be infested on 130 occasions. On several occasions she was found to be verminous, and twice the parents were summoned before the Magistrates and find. The record of the other girls ...

Unfortunately the house was overcrowded before the arrival of the two grandchildren, and a girl of 14 was sleeping in the same 71 room as her parents. There were only 2 rooms available and 2 grown-up boys were sleeping in the other room, which also served the purpose of a kitchen. The boys could not very well be asked ...

We had served notice on the landlord in 1930, to do certain work and the house had been re-decorated. In spite of this, the conditions in the Autumn of 1931 were deplorable. Even if the heads of the children had not been infested with lice, it would be unfair and unkind to the other children in the class to allow the c...

The ordinary method of disinfection are useless ; the bed bug shelters itself in crevices and cracks and unless the disinfectant acts directly on it, it will survive. If there is a picture rail in the room, it has to be taken down, and cracks and crevices have to be stopped. Even then it is doubtful if the bugs are alw...

72 The establishment of a cleansing station is not going to solve the difficulty, and it is only a platitude to say that the home conditions are not normal and must be remedied. Of course, the home conditions are abnormal, or the children would not be sent to school in a dirty state. We are sometimes apt to think that ...

The parents give very little thought to anything, and consequently never think how a large family can be provided for. They started their married life in a very small house or more frequently a small flat or tenement, and cannot afford to remove to a larger flat ot house. Overcrowding results, and most of the infested ...

At recent meetings of the School Management Committee this significant fact has been commented upon. The members haverightly expressed the opinion that the material conditions which obtain in the Council houses should render uncleanliness impossible. The Housing Committee, in selecting tenants for the Council houses, p...

Before any mischief is done, these few defaulting tenants should be given to understand that their former standards will not be tolerated. I understand that the Housing Committee has decided to notify these tenants that continuance of these conditions may result in the loss of the house to the tenant. It is only by suc...

We had some striking instances of success when teachers applied what turned out to be punitive methods, although the object was very far from being punitive. In one of the schools one of the mistresses takes a deep interest in the cleanliness of the girls in her class. She was generally present when the Nurse made the ...

Not only was there a marked improvement after inspection, but the condition at each inspection had markedly improved. The girls evidently were determined that they would not risk separation on account of infested heads. In passing, it may be mentioned that this class was by no means an easy one to deal with. Some of th...

Other causes may have operated, such as change of surroundings, contact with a type of girl different to those they were accustomed to, as well as the change of teacher. The latter factor probably is the most potent. Some teachers can instill more than others a wholesome respect to their wishes. I feel sure that if the...

These exceptional cases are well known both to the teachers and to the school nurses, because some of the most difficult cases that we have to deal with are those who belong to a home which has been the scene of a domestic calamity. We have in the schools a few children whose parents have separated. The difficulties ar...

After the inspection, whenever necessary, notices are issued informing the parent of the condition found, and instructions are 75 given for the appropriate condition. In cases of any difficulty, the nurses undertake to show the parents now to carry out the instructions issued. In some instances a summons has to be issu...
