the Beckenham, Bromley and Penge authorities have been
held during the year under the auspices of the Joint
Committee for Organisation of Physical Education for
the above and the Erith and Gravesend Authorities. The

in Junior Schools, held in Bromley each afternoon, from
Monday to Friday throughout the period February 7th
to 26th.
(2) A course in Physical Training for women teachers
in Junior Schools, held in Bromley each afternoon, from
Monday to Friday throughout the period February 28th
to March 18th.
Two women teachers have also been afforded facilities
to attend the Special Three Months' Course at Southlands
College for the purpose of qualifying in more advanced
gymnastic work.

The continued interest and keenness of the teaching
staff generally and their increasing appreciation of the

the Education Committee for their continued
condence and support, to the Chief Education Officer
