Open-Air Education.
No organised scheme of open-air education exists in
the district.
In a few of the schools, classes are conducted in the
playgrounds during the summer months, and occasional
school journeys are undertaken. No school camps have been
held.
Four places, two for boys and two for girls, are reserved
by the Education Committee at the Russell Cotes School of
Recovery, Parkstone. During the year 31 children were sent
to Parkstone, and without exception, their health was greatly
improved.
Two places are also reserved, during the winter months,
at the Children's Hostel, Collington Manor, Bexhill-on-sea.
One girl was sent there for a period of twelve weeks,
and four boys and two girls for a period of six weeks.
Physical Training.
No direct control over physical training is exercised by
the School Medical Officer, but Head Teachers refer for
examination any children who appear to them to be unfit to
take part in the games and exercises practised in the various
schools. During the year, in conjunction with the Boroughs
of Hornsey, Tottenham and Wood Green, a male and a female
organiser have been appointed, a step which should lead to
co-ordination of the scheme of physical training throughout
the schools in the Borough.
Provision of Meals.
No meals are provided by the Education Committee at
any of the elementary schools.
