Keenness, enthusiasm and good sportsmanship continue to
show themselves. Hornsey's boys and girls continue to be
trained to be good losers as well as good winners, and the games,
played on those days of fresh air in the rain and the sun, are still
doing what they can to contribute to the health and happiness of
young Hornsey."
11—PROVISION OF MEALS.
There are no arrangements for the provision of meals to
school children, but there has been a gratifying extension of the
scheme of the National Milk Publicity Council, which provides
the school child with one-third of a pint of milk in a bottle with a
sterile straw through which to drink the milk. The cost is one
penny per bottle. Towards the end of the year upwards of 2,600
children were partaking of this daily ration of milk, all but a
very small minority paying for it.
12—SCHOOL BATHS.
The swimming bath at South Harringay School is available for
children from all the elementary schools in the Borough between
May and September. During these months it is visited by 2,000
per week.
The Council's open-air swimming pool in Park Road is available
to school children on special terms.
Hornsey children also make use of the swimming bath of
the Islington Borough Council in Hornsey Road.

provision of spray baths opened in June 1929 at Campsbourne
School. This is proving to be a great boon, and might with
advantage be extended to other schools.

Attendance Officers and Care Committees, not only in facilitating
the work of medical inspection, following up and treatment, but
in everything that promotes the health and physical well-being
