THE SCHOOL MEDICAL SERVICE IN RELATION
TO PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
SCHOOL HYGIENE.
The hygienic conditions of the Public Elementary Schools
continue to be very good. Most of the buildings are of recent
construction, but certain of the schools have been in existence
for many years and do not therefore attain the high standards
of the modern school, this is particularly true of the majority
of the Non-Provided Schools.
The following more important works of improvement have
been carried out during the year:—
BELL LANE COUNCIL SCHOOL.
A more adequate water supply was provided to the Girls'
and Infants' Lavatories. The obsolete drinking fountains
were replaced by modern fittings in the playgrounds.
WOODCROFT SENIOR GIRLS' SCHOOL.
The playground surface was entirely relaid during the
Midsummer holidays.
HYDE SENIOR SCHOOL.
The football pitch in the playing field was adequately
drained.
ORANGE HILL BOYS' CENTRAL SCHOOL.
Hot water supply was laid on to the basins in the Handicraft
Cloakrooms.
VARIOUS SCHOOLS.
Pin rails provided for displaying children's work. Sun
blinds were fixed in several classrooms.
REDECORATIONS.
13 Schools were redecorated either internally or externally
during the Midsummer Holidays.
PLAYGROUNDS.
A number of school playgrounds were topped and dressed.
