II.—SCHOOL HYGIENE.
Very needed improvements were completed in several of the
schools during the year, but the part-use of the schools chiefly concerned
for civil defence purposes, has so far prevented full benefit
being obtained from the improvements by the school children.
An excellent new school, well planned and beautifully equipped,
was opened in White Hart Lane to take the place of the old White
Hart Lane School at the beginning of September, and the
gymnasium has been in use as an excellent First Aid Post ever
since.
At Lordship Lane School and at Bounds Green School extensive
alterations and additions were completed only in time for these
schools also to be made use of in part as Ambulance and Stretcher
Party Depots.
In all three cases the accommodation put at the disposal of the
civil defence services is admirably suited for the purpose, and has
been of the greatest possible assistance in organising the medical
services essential for A.R.P. purposes1.
