Table: It is satisfactory to learn from enquiries I have made that a marked improvement has been observed in the cleanliness of the children attending the elementary schools of the Borough during the latter part of 1908, which is largely to be attributed to the facilities for cleansing offered by the Borough Council at their Disinfecting Station.
