BOOT CLUB.
At Churchfields School, a club is run whereby children can pay
small amounts weekly, so that when boots are required they can
be obtained at reduced prices. In several cases it has been possible
to provide boots free of cost for necessitous cases.
Mr. Hambridge is responsible for the management of the Club,
and the Teachers collect the weekly payments.
SCHOOL LEAVING REPORTS.
Each term reports are provided for the information of the
Juvenile Welfare Bureau and special attention is drawn to the
existence of any defects which render certain types of occupation
unsuitable in special cases.
EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS.
Under the Committee's Byelaws, the following 103 certificates
were issued during the year:—
Delivering Newspapers 43
Delivering Milk 10
Miscellaneous 50
The number of certificates issued compares with 104 in 1936,
and this is evidence that the Byelaws are being rigidly enforced.
Licences to take part in Stage Plays were issued in 8 cases
during the year.
CO-OPERATION OF PARENTS.
Parents are notified of the date and time of Routine Medical
Inspections, and both parents are invited to attend. Usually
the mother only attends.
The nature of any defects found is explained to the mother, and
advice is given as to treatment and how it should be obtained.
CO-OPERATION OF TEACHERS.
The Head Teacher is present at the Routine Inspections, and
a summary of the defects found is provided for the information of
the Head Teachers.
