London Central Schools Swimming Sports.

11.—PROVISION OF MEALS.
The Provision of Meals Act, 1906-14, was adopted during
the latter part of the year, but was not brought into operation.
Many of the schools have arranged for the supply of milk to
children at their own cost.
12.—SCHOOL BATHS.
The Central Boys' School has a plunge bath and the Central
Girls' and Hogarth Infants' Schools are also equipped with
baths. During the summer months the older children of the
Brentford Schools are taken at regular times to the Brentford
Swimming Baths and the Chiswick children to the Chiswick
Open Air Baths, where they are taught swimming, and nearly
every school held a successful gala at the Brentford Baths
during the autumn.
13.—CO-OPERATION WITH TEACHERS.
I am very pleased to be able to report on the whole-hearted
co-operation of the teachers with the School Medical Service.
