which most of the schools took an active part. Classes of all ages
and both sexes demonstrated the varied range of activities to be
found in physical education from the Infant School stage to that
of the adult student at the Evening Institute. The teachers
taking part in the many programmes are to be congratulated
on their interest, co-operation and high standard of work.
