FEEDING OF NECESSITOUS CHILDREN.
The School Canteen work was re-commenced during the last
quarter of 1914, and the number of centres at which the feeding
was carried out was approximately 11.
In accordance with the memorandum of the Board of
Education, the Medical Officer prepared a dietary which was
approved by the Canteen Committee and formed, from the beginning
of the winter of 1914-1915, the basis of the meals supplied to
the children. As mentioned elsewhere in the report, the provision
of these meals had a very noticeable and beneficial effect upon the
physique and well-being of the children fed.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
R. VEITCH CLARK,
School Medical Officer and Medical Officer of Health.
