In the new Stanhope School and in the others about to be
constructed the teachers will be given the opportunity of teaching
the children under open air conditions in all states of the weather.
These schools will prove valuable object lessons not only to the
children but to the people generally.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
The Education Committee, recognising the great value of
organised games not only as a means of preserving health, but of
building up character and encouraging good conduct and bearing,
have given every encouragement for their development. I am
indebted to Mr. A. L. Binns, the Director of Education, for the
following summary of the provision for organised games for school
children.
