Centres for Domestic Subjects have now practically ceased to
exist as such. Instead, special rooms or Centres are available for
each Senior Girls' School, whereby the older girls in such schools
are able to receive the necessary instruction in Domestic Subjects
as part of the normal school curriculum and, generally speaking,
on the school premises.
SECONDARY SCHOOLS.
The usual arrangements for the medical examination of
secondary school children were continued in 1936; 1,508 children
were examined, 745 of whom were boys and 763 girls. Table II.
of Appendix gives the detailed findings. 99 boys (13.3 per cent.)
and 126 girls (16.5 per cent.) were found to require treatment, the
most usual defect being defective vision.
Although the figures are small, a table similar to that given for
elementary school children and relating to heights and weights has
been included below.
