EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS.

years, and more than hours on any school day, or five hours
on a holiday.

fit for employment outside school hours. In 4 cases permission
was not granted.
Eighteen children were examined and found to be fit to take
part in entertainments.

76 teachers were medically examined on appointment to determine
their physical fitness for their duties.
INFESTATION WITH VERMIN.
The standard of cleanliness remains at a very high level.
Only 493 children were found to be infested after 48,381 examinations,
i.e., just over 1 per cent. (this compares with 2 per cent. for
the County of Middlesex as a whole.).
In no case was a compulsory cleansing order served.
There remain a number of chronic offenders but example
and persuasion are used to assist them reach a better standard of
hygiene.
A number of improved insecticidal hair lotions perfected in the
past 10 years have greatly reduced the severity of this problem
and simplified the treatment.
