    The general physical condition of the pupils was found to be excellent. Organised games and physical exercises play an important part in the school curriculum and the Headmistress and Staff show an exceptionally keen interest in the well-being of the pupils. The number of defects found at routine and special inspections will be seen in Table II at the end of this report. IMMACULATE CONCEPTION SCHOOL. Routine medical inspections of SO Special Place Holders from Darlington and County Durham were made in this non-provided secondary school for Roman Catholic girls. ST. MARY’S GRAMMAR SCHOOL. The number of Special Place Holders examined at St. Mary’s Grammar School was 118. This number includes pupils from Durham County. The school is ideally situated, and the health of the boys at the school was, on the whole, of a high standard. The new gymnasium is a great asset in maintaining the physical fitness of the boys, and full advantage is taken of it. It is a pleasure to record the helpful co-operation of Canon Forkin.
