The advisability of installing separate flushing cisterns instead
of the present automatic flushing at some schools which have separate
pedestals is more difficult to decide. The advantages of the separate
flush are the probable economy of water and the inculcation of
hygienic habits. The advantages of the automatic flush are easier
maintenance and smaller liability to freeze. Most Head Teachers
of Infants' Departments appear to prefer the automatic system.

been reported to your Committee as having been effected during
