THE SCHOOL MEDICAL SERVICE IN RELATION
TO PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
SCHOOL HYGIENE.
The hygienic conditions of the Public Elementary Schools
are generally very good, many of the buildings are of recent
construction but certain of the non-provided schools have
been in existence for many years and do not, therefore, attain
to the high standard of the modern school.
The following works of improvement have been carried
out during the year:—
GARDEN SUBURB SCHOOL.
A plot of land was acquired immediately in front of the
school, which has been suitably laid out for Physical Education
purposes.
BELL LANE SCHOOL.
Additional heating facilities were provided in three
classrooms.
DEANSBROOK SCHOOL.
An adequate drainage scheme was carried out in the
playing field during the Autumn.
VARIOUS SCHOOLS.
Pin rails provided for displaying children's work. Existing
stepped galleries were removed from all classrooms and
floors made good. Sun blinds were fixed in several classrooms.
Additional and up-to-date drinking fountains were
installed in playgrounds.
BARNFIELD INFANTS' SCHOOL.
Instructions have been given for the preparation of plans
and estimates for the provision of a Nursery Class at this
school.
REDECORATIONS.
Ten schools were redecorated either internally or
externally during the Midsummer holidays.
