connection with the work of the Cleansing Station.
In 1922. the London County Council entered into an arrangement
with the Borough Council for the use of the Station on specified days
during the school year for the purpose of cleansing the heads of verminous
school children. Lnder the L.C.C. Scheme, the work of cleansing is
supervised by the school nurses; who also make all arrangements for the
attendances of the children. The children cleansed are those attending
schools situated west of a line running down the centre of Sydney Street
and Oakley Street. The Borough Council receives payment from the
London County Council at the rate of 2s. per child attendance.

Thirty adults were cleansed at the Station during the year.
