    To the Chairman and Members of the Education Committee of the Borough of Finchley. I have the honour to submit my report on the work of the School Medical Service for the year 1935. The general health of the children has been good throughout the year and the schools have been particularly free from epidemic diseases. The work carried out shows expansion in most directions and there has been increasing evidence that parents realise the value of what is being done for their children. The dental treatment of the elementary school children has suffered a check owing to the fact that the amount of work found necessary for the scholars of the secondary schools turned out to be much greater than was anticipated, but the arrangements which your Committee have made for the next financial year will ensure that no child will go more than twelve months without inspection and the opportunity of receiving treatment. I wish to acknowledge the ever ready co-operation of the Director of Education, the Head Teachers and all members of the staff. I am, Your obedient Servant, A. A. TURNER. School Medical Officer 6
