At the Middlesex Schools Sports a girl from the Central
School was successful in winning the Hurdles Race in record
time. At the same meeting two scholars from the Belmont
Senior School and a girl from the Hogarth Senior Girls' obtained
"Standard Time" certificates for the 100 yards flat race, while
a girl from the Brentford Senior School gained a "Standard
Time" certificate for the 75 yards Hurdles.
As regards swimming, a boy from the Brentford Senior
School was outstanding. He won the Junior National Plain
Diving Contest, the Southern Counties Amateur Diving
Association Championship and the Amateur Diving Association
W.F.D. Cup. A girl from the Central School gained the
Championship of the West London Central Schools Swimming
Sports.
The Boys' Schools compete in the Acton, Brentford and
Chiswick Schools Football Association. In 1934 the Hogarth
Senior Boys won the Championship of League II while the
Brentford Senior Boys were Champions of the Junior League.
11.—PROVISION OF MEALS.
The Provision of Meals Act, 1906-14, was adopted by the
Authority in 1933, but has not yet been 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 is equipped with a plunge bath
and the Central Girls' and Hogarth Infants' Schools also possess
baths. During the summer months the older children of the
schools are taken to one of the two Swimming Baths in the
district where they are taught swimming and nearly every
school holds a swimming gala in the autumn.
13.—CO-OPERATION WITH TEACHERS.
The attitude of the school teachers indicates their sympathy
with our work in endeavouring to improve the physical condition
of the children. There is excellent co-operation between the
medical staff and the teaching staff of the schools, and we
would like to record our thanks to the teachers for the help
they continue to give us.
