PROVISION OF MILK.
The scheme of the Milk Marketing Board for the supply
of Milk in Schools has been continued throughout the year
during school terms.
The source and quality of the milk, which is drawn
from an efficiently pasteurised supply, is approved by the
Medical Officer of Health.
At the commencement of the year 65% of children
in attendance were in receipt of school milk. There was a
steady fall in numbers till 52% were taking milk in the
summer, and then some recovery took place during the
autumn resulting in 56% receiving milk at the end of the
year.
For the purpose of selection of children, the teachers
are invited to bring before the School Medical Officer any
whom they consider to be undernourished and who are not
in receipt of milk at school.
All undernourished children recommended for milk by
the School Medical Officer are weighed regularly and followed-up.
In necessitous cases the milk is supplied free, the cost
being met from a voluntary fund.
CO-OPERATION OF PARENTS, TEACHERS, Etc.
From the table given under the heading Medical
Inspection it will be seen that the high percentage of
parents attending Routine Medical Inspections has been
maintained.
