ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
The number of Public Elementary Schools in the Borough is 18
("Provided," 13 Non-Provided," 5), which afford accommodation
for some 17,897 children.
The greater part of the work in connection with these schools and
scholars is in the hands of the London County Council. Visits are,
however, made from time to time by the Council's Medical Officer
and the Sanitary Inspectors to make enquiries in connection with
sanitation, infectious diseases, etc. The total number of visits
made by the Inspectors in 1908 was 193.
