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.
As stated in previous reports this is very satisfactory in all
respects in those schools which have been built in recent years,
viz., the Central, Brentford Senior, Lionel Road, Clifden Road,
Hogarth Infants and Beverley Infants.
The Strand Junior and Infant Schools are in process of
reconstruction and rebuilding and the alterations are nearly
completed.
The Hogarth Group of Schools will be seriously affected by
the new arterial road. This will give an opportunity for
elaborating a scheme which will remove many defects of hygiene
that are present in these Schools.
The three Church Schools in Brentford continue to do their
best with their available accommodation.

who have not been examined in one of the above groups.
This fourth group includes 300 children who were

Employment Committee.
650 Entrants, 556 Intermediates, 501 Third Age Group and
