DOWN LANE SCHOOL.
This school was opened in October, 1912, and consists of
four departments, manual training and cookery rooms, all
under one roof. It is to be regretted that it was not possible
to provide either a hall for meals, or a medical inspection
room, otherwise the building is constructed and equipped on
the most modern lines.
THE GREEN SCHOOL (Girls)—(Non-Provided).
Classrooms.—Four classes are taught in the principal
room without any partitions.
