The meeting passed unanimously a resolution empowering the committee to proceed with the building ; of a new clinic immediately. This involves the finding of a quota by . each committee, on its total school roll, by February next, the amounts '■ varying from 10s to £32 15s. The new clinic, which will be the third to be built in Hamilton, will . be erected at the Frankton School grounds and will be used by the children from a number of small schools beyond Frankton as well as the pupils from Frankton school. This will enable the staff of the present clinics to bring in new entrants, some of whom, owing to the congestion, were unable to receive treatment this year.
