Warming.
The system of heating is, generally, by hot water radiators supplied
from a central boiler. At Lancasterian Boys' and Girls' Schools open
coal fires are still used.
In certain of the schools the heating arrangements are inadequate
during cold weather in those classrooms which have a northerly aspect.
Equipment and Sanitation.
Downhills Girls' School.—Arrangements for admission to, and
egress from the cloakroom are unsuitable, and an improvement could be
effected by an additional door being made to open into the playground.
Bruce Grove and West Green Boys' Schools.—The floors of the classrooms
are worn and in want of planing and relevelling.
Risley Avenue School.—The lavatories, cloakrooms, playgrounds
and classrooms are inadequate owing to the present overcrowded state of
the school.
Observation on the Type and Condition of Desks and Blackboards.
Dual desks, or desks of the modern type having movable seats and
desk, have been installed in most of the schools. The exceptions are at
Seven Sisters Boys' and Girls' Schools (many).
Lancasterian Boys' and Girls' „ (mostly).
Stamford Hill Boys' and Girls' „ (throughout).
Lancasterian Infants' School (3 rooms).
Yale Road „ (few).
Middle Class „ (many).
Earlsmead Infants' School.—In Room 2, children under 5 years are
using dual desks and the room also has the disadvantage of having platforms
.
Risley Avenue Boys' School.—The type of desk in use is satisfactory,
but a number of scholars are too tall for the desks provided.
