THE TEACHING OF HYGIENE.
The teaching of hygiene is part of the routine of the school
syllabus, which includes a special course in such training for
junior and senior children. In connection with Housecraft and
Mothercraft teaching, arrangements have been made for the Health
Visitors to visit Senior Girls' Departments to give a demonstration
of the bathing of a baby, with the Housecraft teacher assisting.
This is part of the educational course laid down for all girls from
aged 12 to 14.
The following demonstrations have taken place:—
By Miss Newbegin at Bush Hill Park School 3 demonstrations.
By Miss Garlick at Chesterfield Road School 4 demonstrations.
By Mrs. Herbert at Lavender Road School 2 demonstrations.
By Mrs. Herbert at Chase Side School 2 demonstrations.
By Miss Wilkinson at Alma Road School 1 demonstration.
Thus twelve demonstrations were given during the year as
compared with fourteen last year.
