OPEN-AIR EDUCATION.

PHYSICAL TRAINING.
Enfield does not possess an organiser for physical training, but
exercises and games are carried out under the supervision of the
teachers.
PROVISION OF MEALS.
Meals are provided for necessitous children, the arrangements
being undertaken by the Children's Care Committee. The names
of the children requiring free meals are submitted by the Head
Teachers and School Medical Officers.
During 1934 23,688 dinners were provided.
CO-OPERATION OF PARENTS.
The parents take an active interest in the work of the School
Medical Department. Parents are notified in writing of the Routine
Medical Inspection of the children, and 76 per cent. attended in
person in 1934. When a child is required at the clinic for examination,
the parent is informed, either by the School Nurse, or by
letter, of the date and time of examination. Parents are personally
instructed by the School Medical Officer in regard to the treatment
required for various defects, and also as to the carrying out of
breathing and other remedial exercises at home.
