The School Health Act and Regulations came into force in the years 1957 and 1958 respectively. According to the legislation a periodical medical examination of all pupils is performed every second year, but tuberculosis control of pupils and school person- nel is performed every year. Pupils needing medical treatment or further observation are kept under special supervision as long as school doctors find it necessary. Much stress is laid on supervising the pupils, whether known to be previously unwell or healthy, all through the school year, teachers and parents being urged to refer to the school doctors every pupil who according to their judgement needs to be examined. Teachers have to make reports about their pupils' health twice a year. The district medical officers act as school doctors except in Reykjavík and Hafnarfjörður, where there are special school doctors, all of whom are working part-time. Table X shows the diseases and ail- ments discovered at the periodical medical examination. 12. Matemity (cf. tables XIII—XIV). The total number of births in 1971 was 4315, 4277 born alive and 38 stillborn.
