SANITARY CONDITION OF THE SCHOOLS.
A complete sanitary survey of the schools has been made
by the Sanitary Inspector, and I am pleased to report that the conditions
in all the schools are excellent. In none of the schools were
there any serious defects found ; there were a few minor conditions
which required to be remedied, such as a defective W.C. seat, &c.
Considering that some of the schools are about 40 years of
age, the sanitary conditions are astonishingly good.
