PAID PUPILLAGE.
The system of paid pupillage continues. During the year two of
the trainees were successful in passing the Statutory examination and were
appointed as Public Health Inspectors. Unfortunately, cne has since been
called up to H.M. Forces for National Service, The other successful
candidate since his appointment has given good service and assistance to
the Department and has justified the promise shown during his training.
At the end of the^year under review there were three pupils undergoing
training. One who failed to satisfy the Examination Board has
since been called up to H.M. Forces, the other two sit for examination in
July 1959 and it is hoped that they both pass as this appears to be the
only successful way (short of offering inducements) tc get trained Public
Health Inspectors in the East End London Boroughs.
