(a) Schoo' Hygiene.—The general hygienic conditions of the
various Barking schools can be considered satisfactory. The
question of school hygiene in the district was fully reviewed in
my previous Report, and need not now be further dwelt upon.
Periodic inspections of school buildings and premises are
carried out by one of the sanitary stall, and defects requiring
attention brought to the notice of the Director of Education.
