There is still no co-ordination between the Medical Depart¬ ment, and those responsible for the structural condition of the Schools. CORRELATION OF THE SCHOOL MEDICAL SERVICE WITH THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE. Unchanged from last year. DISTURBANCE OF SCHOOL ARRANGEMENTS. No complaints have been received.
