10. PROVISION OF MEALS.
The Director of education has kindly supplied the following -
(1) "Previous to June 1944, when a further evacuation of children
took place, approximately 5,000 meals daily were supplied to school
children from seven kitchens.
After evacuation, the number of meals supplied dropped to about
3,000 daily, and one kitchen was, therefore, closed.
From the latter part of 1944, this figure has been increasing
daily as the children return from the reception areas.
In spite of difficulties which have arisen from time to time
through enemy action the quality of the food supplied and the
standard of cooking have been maintained at their high level and it
has felt that this has been a contributory factor in maintaining
the children's health at a good standard.
The continued co-operation of the teachers in the voluntary
supervision of the dining arrangements is much appreciated by the
authority and the help of the kitchen staffs, under the supervision
of the Supervisor of school meals, has contributed much to the
continued success of the arrangements".
(2) Milk Meals - 125,557 milk meals were supplied to children on
medical grounds on the recommendation of the medical staff. The
number of meals supplied during the preceding year was 213,390.
(3) Milk in school scheme - The arrangements detailed in former
reports were continued in 1944, all the milk supplied being
pasteurised milk sold under license.

of milk meals. The number supplied was as follows:-
Easter 9879 Summer 14617
hitsun 8489 Christmas 8779.
