Special Subjects Schools.
In the Chiswick area there is a School of Cookery and
Housewifery in Horticultural Place, which has accommodation
for 36 girls. The Central Girls' School has its own centre for
these subjects. Here there are completely fitted Cookery and
Laundry rooms, and a small flat for training purposes, consisting
of bedroom, living room and scullery.
In the Brentford area Cookery and Housewifery are taught
at the Ealing Road and Brentford Senior Schools.
Each Boys' School has its own department for teaching
Handicraft and Carpentry.
General Hygiene of the Schools.
The general hygiene of the schools is very good, and
St. Paul's School and St. George's School are very much
improved. Certain sections, however, of the Strand group of
Schools, are certainly behind the times and their reconstruction
is much overdue.
