SCHOOLS.
I Friern Lane (Boys). 2, St. Peter's, Cromwell Road.
3, St. John's, Glenthorne Road. 4, All Saints'. 5, St. Paul's.
All Saints'.—The ventilation of this School has been improved.
I have drawn the attention of the Council and School
Authorities to the want of paper in the water closets, as I consider
this is highly necessary. The experiment, as I mentioned
last year, of a supply being provided has been tried at All Saints'
School and has proved satisfactory.
The Schools have been inspected frequently and have been
found in good order. In some instances I have pointed out to
the teachers the desirability of making more use of the means
of ventilation provided.
ADULTERATION OF FOOD.
Attention has been given to this subject, particularly with
regard to the small general shops, which have been inspected
frequently.
