The question of free meals is at the time of writing
receiving the attention of the Board of Education and
of the Education Committee, but it is my view that free
meals will not solve the problem of malnutrition.
The establishment of a new school at Southborough
is a step towards the abolition of those schools which haw
outworn their use and which no longer afford hygienic
conditions.
The development of physical training and organised
games is progressing rapidly. The school playing fields
are functioning with the resulting improvement in the
mind and body of the elementary school child.
1 would again make special reference to Mr. T. S.
Latham's report which is included in this report of mine
and it is to be noted that the extension of the Dental
Service by extra clinics and the assistance of Mr. Ordish
has now made the Service adequate to the demands made
on it.
I am grateful to the Committee for their help and j
interest and to the staff for their untiring efforts.
