(c) Physical Training.
(1) Organisation of Physical Education.—The most important
development in physical training during the year 1937 is to be found
in the proposals to form a Joint Scheme of the County and Part III
Authorities for the Organisation of Physical Education. This scheme
came into force on January 1st, 1938. The Organisers, who previously
spent only part of their time in the Borough and were concerned only
with the elementary schools, will now be concerned exclusively with
Tottenham and will be responsible for organising the physical education
of pupils in all types of schools and for promoting facilities for the physical
education of persons who have left school.
