Mrs. Yates, the Home Help, still continues the work of
cleansing heads begun in 1923, the conditions remaining the
same, viz.:— the Council supplies the Sackers Combs and Shampoo
and Mrs. Yates charges 1 /- per case for cleansing.
Attendance for cleansing is entirely voluntary, but parents as
a rule are glad to avail themselves of the opportunity so as to
avoid having the child excluded from school.
During the year, 31 children have been cleansed.
No cleansing has been carried out by the school nurses.
During the year 1928, legal proceedings were instituted against
the parents of I child, who were ordered to pay costs.
