11.—PROVISION OF MEALS.
The Provision of Meals Acts, 1906-14, were adopted by the
Authority in 1933 but have not yet been brought into operation.
Free dinners were provided for one child at the Central
Schools where satisfactory arrangements are made for providing
dinners at very moderate cost for children who live some distance
from these schools. At all the schools, with the exception of
one, milk is issued during the morning at the cost of one
halfpenny for one third of a pint. About 2,000 children avail
themselves of the facilities provided.
In necessitous cases where milk is required, the children are
seen by the School Medical Officer who issues the necessary
certificates. All such children are kept under observation and
weighed at intervals to note any progress that may be made in
their nutrition.
114 children are receiving free milk under these circumstances.
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.
