PART I.
General Facts in connection with the District of the
Tottenham Education Authority.
The Urban District of Tottenham is bounded on the East
by Walthamstow in Essex, from which it is separated by the
River Lea, on the West by Hornsey and Wood Green, on
the North by Edmonton, and on the South by Hackney and
Stoke Newington, and has an area of 3033 acres, while its
estimated population, at the end of November, 1912,
amounted to 141,367. The great majority of the inhabitants
belong to the working classes, most of whom are employed
in the Metropolis, and journey to and fro daily.
The Education Rate for the half-year ending March,
1913, is 1s. 2.53d., which is an increase of 2.08 of a penny
upon the corresponding rate last year. A penny rate (for
Poor Law purposes) yields £2,165.
Water is provided for all the Schools from the Metropolitan
Water Board's Mains, and is uniformly of good quality.
