The Council decided for a period of six months from September
to order the Babies' Room in the several Infants' Departments
to be scrubbed weekly and the whole of the Infants' Departments
every four weeks instead of six times per annum as at
present. "Dustolio," a dust-laying oil, is being experimented
with in the Boys' and Girls' Departments of Kirkdale Road and
Harrow Green Schools.
On the whole, taking everything into consideration, the
hygienic requirements of the schools are reasonably satisfied.
The preservation of the school premises has received due and
adequate attention, as is shown by the painting carried out during
the last five years:—

groups notice is sent by the teachers to the parents notifying them
of the day and time when the inspection of their child will take
place.
