There has been a slight decrease in the cost of the actual
medical services rendered in the Public Elementary Schools from
0.58 in 1934 to 0.54 of a penny rate in 1935. The cost of maintenance
in Special Schools has also decreased from a rate of 0.57 to
0.52 pence. The cost of milk and meals has decreased by £470, a
total decrease in the last two years of £900.
The Elementary Schools are now classified under the Hadow
Scheme as Senior, boys, girls and mixed; Junior, boys, girls and
mixed, and Infants. The Table below gives the number of schools
and the number of pupils in attendance thereat. The school
population as given by the average number on the registers has
decreased by 237. The average attendance was 90 per cent.
This decrease in the number of children on the school
registers is interesting, as the population of Croydon continues
tn increase.
