Sanitary Conveniences and Lavatories.
At the following schools the sanitary conveniences have an entrance
which has to serve as a means of egress also. Facilities should be afforded
for scholars to leave by a different portal.
Earlsmead Boys' School.
Woodlands Park Boys' and Girls' Schools.
Seven Sisters' Infants' School.
Seven Sisters Infants' School.—The girls' w.c. accommodation is
inadequate. Three more w .c.'s are desirable.
Allison Road School.—There is one set of w.c.'s only for both sexes.
Woodlands Park Girls' and Infants' Schools.—The floor surface of the
offices is defective, allowing pools of water to collect.
Bruce Grove Infants' School.—The closets are without doors.
Water Supply for Washing and Drinking Purposes.
West Green Girls' School.—There are 4 wash-hand basins for 330
children. To make up the deficiency, pails of water are brought into the
cloakrooms, when necessary.
Stamford Hill Girls' School.—Two lavatory basins only are provided.
These are in the lower cloakroom and are inadequate for 560 scholars.
Risley Avenue Boys' School.—There are two taps in the playground
for supplying drinking water. These are stated to be insufficient in the
summer when the number on the roll is 850 to 900.
Holy Trinity School.—The drinking water is supplied from the tap
over the washing bowl.

The provision of a roller towel per day for drying the hands and faces
of a school department is, from the sanitary point of view, insufficient.
At the time of the examination it was found, at one of the schools, that
before mid-day the towel was practically unusable.
Allison Road School.—This school is in need of redecoration.
Arrangements for Drying Clothes and Boots.

clothes and boots. The drill shoes of the children are used on wet days
