SCHOOLS.

We have also the Chase Farm Schools belonging to the Edmonton

Periodical examinations of the conditions of the public elementary
schools are made by the Sanitary Inspector, and any defects
found are brought to the notice of the Education Committee and
Managers, with the result that they are usually remedied without
delay.
