CONCLUSION.
During a "Festival Education Week" in Bromley, the staffs of
the Primary and Secondary Schools gave excellent demonstrations of
various branches of Physical Education.
Secondary Boys' and Girls' Schools provided programmes at the
County Grammar School for Boys, and the Primary Schools produced
many interesting demonstrations of work, under normal conditions, on
their own premises.
These combined programmes were of a high standard and illustrated
many aspects of modern physical education. They demonstrated
the value of the systematic physical education which is undertaken
in the schools.
The continued progress and the increasing interest in Physical
Education in the Borough is, on the whole, most encouraging, although
disappointment is felt at the reduction in the winter programmes of
youth and adult activities.
In conclusion we wish to express our thanks to the Borough
Education Officer and his staff for their valuable support and our
appreciation of the good work done by the Head and Assistant
Teachers in the schools."
