   (d.) It is an essential part of the duty of the Medical Inspector to take such steps as may be found possible to instruct and train teachers in charge of public schools in the methods of school inspection, and to give lectures to teachers as occasion arises on matters relating to the diseases of school life and sanitation, and generally to undertake any duties that the Ministers of the Departments concerned consider necessary in the furtherance of the work for which they have been appointed.
