I have to acknowledge with much pleasure the help
which I have always received from your Teaching Staff,
Attendance Officers and School Nurses, and have only to regret
that in a year of extra strain and stress it has been impossible
to visit in the Schools as much as has been my usual
custom.
It is pleasant to be able to record the great improvements
which the Committee have made in the Schools,
improvements which are greatly to the benefit of teachers
and children. Some of the objectionable conditions still
remaining are structural and impossible of remedy, but
a comparison of the list of unsatisfactory conditions given
in the Annual Report three years ago with that of
1912, will show what a great deal has been accomplished.
I am,
faithfully yours,
S. SEEKINGS.
