PHYSICAL TRAINING.
In a previous report a description was given of the provisions
which had been made for physical exercises and organised games in
the public elementary schools. As a result of the consideration
by the Committee of Circular 1445 on Physical Education, which
was issued by the Board of Education in 1936, it was decided to
co-operate with the Middlesex Education Committee in appointing
as organisers of physical training a man and a woman with special
training who would devote part of their time to the school children
in Ealing. These organisers were duly appointed to take up their
duties on the 1st January, 1938. After a year's experience in
organising physical education on approved lines they should be
able to present an interesting report which could appropriately
be recorded in the next annual report on the School Medical Service.
MILK IN SCHOOLS.

Milk is supplied in bottles containing one-third pint under the Scheme of the Milk Marketing Board at a cost of one half-penny.
