the recommendations of the Medical Staff after the examination of
children either at School or at Clinics. The number of children
supplied during the preceding year was 301.

of the Tuberculosis Officer.
(iii) National Milk Publicity Council's Scheme.—The provision of
milk under this Scheme appears to be well maintained, and is in
every way to be commended. All milk supplied under the Scheme
is required to be pasteurised. The adoption of the Scheme in those
schools which have not yet made arrangements is strongly urged.

the supervision of the Committee's Swimming Instructor.
13. CO-OPERATION OF PARENTS.
Every endeavour is made to secure the attendance of parents at
