APPENDIX II 



ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1910 OF THE CHIEF MEDICAL 

 OFFICER OF THE BRITISH BOARD OF EDUCATION 



The following pages reproduce the table of contents of the 

 Annual Report of the Chief Medical Officer of the British Board of 

 Education. This table is printed to show the range of subjects 

 and topics treated in a thorough and comprehensive report of a 

 system of medical inspection. The report from which this 

 material is taken is probably the clearest, most thorough, and 

 most complete report on medical inspection that has yet appeared. 

 It may well serve as a model for medical officers reporting on work 

 in American communities.
