all the schools, except those marked with an asterisk in the above list, which provide
their own medical officer. School nurses visit daily all the schools, except that of
the Women's University Settlement, Blackfriars, where other arrangements of a
satisfactory character are made.
In addition to the schools named above, two nursery schools provided by the
Council under the three-year programme, 1935-38, have been erected in Kintore
Way, Bermondsey, and at Honor Oak, and these will be opened in the early months
