EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN.
The School Medical Officer examines all applicants and
issues certificates as to their physical fitness.
During the year 58 school children over 12 years of
age were issued with certificates under the Byelaws permitting
their employment on milk and paper rounds.
SWIMMING.
The total number of attendances for instruction made
by the Elementary School children to the Kingston Swimming
Baths during 1934 was 9,073. The number of individual
children which this figure represents is not easily ascertained
nowadays owing to the re-organisation of the
schools whereby the name of any one child may appear on
the register of one school during that part of the season
prior to the summer vacation and on that of another school
afterwards.
GARDENING CENTRES.
Since the re-organisation of the Council Schools the
Gardening Centres appear as follows :—
Richmond Road Central Boys' School at Tudor Road,
Albert Road, and at Bonner Hill Road School.
St. Luke's Boys' School at the rear of St. John'3
School.
Open-Air School at the School.
St. Joseph's School is without a Gardening Centre.
