    Public Elementary Schools. ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDLNG 31st DECEMBER, 1917. To the Chairman and Members of the York Education Committee. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to submit this the tenth Annual Report on the Medical Inspection of the Scholars in the York Elementary' Schools. In accordance with the general request it is but a brief record of the work carried out. Tliat work is still much handicapped and curtailed by the medical and other exigencies of the times ; as in last year, attention has been concentrated upon Clinic work, upon ailing and defective children referred from, or discovered in, the schools, and upon the Special Schools. Dr. Norah Kemp has been able to continue to act as temporary part-time Assistant School Medical Officer, and we are much indebted to her for the zealous interest and hard work which she has contributed during the year. The Report contains all the statistical information about the work of the year 1917 upon record, and as required b\' the Board of Education. I beg to call your attention to the sections, in the text of tlie Report, relating to the new regulations regarding the Cinema theatres and school children, and to the Control of juvenile Employment. Also the special sections i-n Appendix B- partly summarising Sir George Newman’s most recent Annual Report :— (1) The Teaching of Motliercraft ; (2) Physical Education ; ' • (3) Nursery Schools ; . . ^ ' wliich I hope will prove useful to the Members of the Committee- and others. ’ ’
