Lighting.—The position of the desks has been altered
and the lighting is now satisfactory.
Seating.—The desks are not adjustable.

too close proximity to the lavatories and urinals.
Sanitary Conveniences.—The urinal flush is not satisfactory.
Girls' Department.
Classrooms.—Two divisions of a class are held in one
classroom, without any partition.

with the exception of two rooms, where a fire is lighted as
well, the heat from the pipes being insufficient.
Seating.—The desks have back rests, but are not adjustable,
except in Standard 7 room.
Cloakrooms.—A clothes peg is not provided for each
child.
Infants' Department.
Seating.—The desks are non-adjustable.
