schools. The names of children sent to these schools should
therefore be temporarily removed from the registers of the schools
previously attended.
The children are selected by the School Medical Officer from
among the cases noted by the doctors at the routine medical
inspections or referred to him for special examination by the
School Nurses or Head Teachers. The minimum period of a
child's stay at a School of Recovery is six weeks, but this period
is considerably extended if the resident Medical Officer so advises.
The parents are required to contribute towards the expenses
incurred by the Local Education Authority in respect of the
child's maintenance.
Convalescent Homes.
A small number of delicate children are also sent away to
Convalescent Homes each year by the various District Care
Committees at their own expense.

10—PHYSICAL TRAINING.
There is no Area Organiser of Physical Training, but
organised games and sports are played at all the schools and at
the Playing Fields at Redston Road, Newlands Road and at
Rokesly Avenue. The Coldfall Playing Fields will be taken into
use during 1931.
Mr. L. W. Gilbert, Hon. Secretary of the Hornsey Schools'
Sports Association, has kindly furnished me with the following
report:—
"The activities of the Hornsey Schools' Sports Association
have been continued, and in some respects extended, during the
past year. Netball, tennis, athletics, cricket, football and swimming
continue to play their parts, some fourteen separate competitions
being organised. It is particularly pleasing to be able to record
that the number of individual scholars taking part in the competitions
has probably been greater during the past year than
during any previous year in which the Association has been
organised on its present basis.
