SCHOOLS.
There are now 29 Elementary Schools (including' six
non-provided schools, and a day Technical School for
Girls) in the Borough, and the sanitary conditions are
satisfactory. The opening of the new Church of England
School in Wrotham Road, Welling, has eased the overcrowding
situation at Brampton Road School, and it is
hoped that with the provision of a new school in Lodge
Lane the difficulty will he solved.
