Health Officers Suggestion Regarding
Medical Inspections in Schools.


DIR. w. c. Woodw ard. the health officer,
has reported to the Commissioners that in
considering the division of the District into
such subdivisions as will most equitably
apportion the work of the eleven medical
inspectors Of public schools and secure the
most efficient service, it is deemed best to
assign all the outlying school buildings to
one inspector.
In order, however. to justify such a sub
DIVISION" says DR.. Woodward. 1T will be
necessary to make an allowance to such an
inspector for transportation. 1 have to re-
quest therefore, to be informed whether
1t will be possible to secure an allotment
from the funds appropriated for the con-
tingent expenses of the public schools for
the transportation of such inspector-say
$40 per manufacturing each of the ten
months included in the school year. If such
an allotment cannot be made it will. Of
course. become necessary to pay the actual
cost of transportation in visiting those out
lying schools from time to time as may be
necessary"
Acting Auditor Tweedale has recon-
mended that the matter be referred to the
board of education, in view of the fact that
all expenditures from the school contingent
fund are recommended by that board.
