Nursery Schools.
There are no Nursery Schools in the Borough.
Secondary and Continuation Schools.
The administration of these schools comes within the
control of the County Council, which is represented
locally by the Ealing Higher Education Committee.
The School Medical Officer of the Borough acts as
Medical Officer to the Higher Education Committee,
and as such carries out the medical inspection at the
Secondary School. In this way the continuity of supervision
and treatment of the children is preserved.
As over 74 per cent. of the children attending the
Secondary School have already been in Public Elementary
Schools in Ealing, the medical inspection and
treatment of the children is thus kept continuously in
the same hands, an arrangement which facilitates
administration and at the same time benefits the children.
The report on these children is submitted to the County
Education Committee, and will be embodied in the
report of the County Medical Officer.
Employment of Children and Young Persons.
Conditions of the employment of children and young
persons.—Bye-laws, based on the model set of the Home
Office, under the Employment of Children Act, 1903,
as amended by the Education Act, 1918, were made by
the Local Education Authority on the 14th October,
1920. These bye-laws, which came into force on the 5th
January, 1921, prescribe the conditions under which
children (persons under 14 years of age) can be employed,
and under which young persons (between 14 and 16
years of age) can be employed in Street Trading.
