Laundry rooms, and a small flat for training purposes, consisting

In the Brentford area Cookery and Housewifery are taught

General Hygiene of the Schools.
The hygiene generally of the schools is satisfactory, with
the exception of the older portion of the Strand Group. Plans
have now been prepared for the rebuilding of these schools.
St. Paul's and St. George's Schools were built before certain
principles of hygiene were appreciated, but every effort has
been made, short of rebuilding, to render these schools as
hygienic as possible.
The Central Schools, Lionel Road, Clifden Road Infants',
Brentford Seniors, Beverley Infants' and Hogarth Infants', are
all built on modern lines and their hygienic conditions are
excellent.
