to replace wet boots, which are dried on, or under, the hot-water pipes.
These pipes, which are fixed in the cloakrooms of most of the schools, are
usually placed against the wall, and, except in those instances where the
clothes pegs are above or otherwise in close proximity to the pipes, they
do not facilitate in any considerable degree the drying of clothes. It is
suggested that, in future, arrangements be made for the hot-water pipes
to pass between the adjacent rows of clothes pegs.
Stamford Hill Girls' School.—At this school the cloakroom accommodation
is inadequate.
St. Katharine's Girls' School.—The main cloakroom is inadequate in
size.
Arrangements for Warming-up of Meals brought to School by
Children, Service of Meals, and Supervision of Children
during Meals.
At the Central Schools where the children come from a considerable
distance, arrangements have been made for the provision of school meals.
At Down Lane and Downhills Schools they are obtained in the Feeding
and Domestic Centres respectively, and at Risley Avenue School the meals
are prepared by the caretaker's wife, and served in the basement room.
Apart from the Central Schools very few children remain at school
during the dinner-hour. On rare occasions, when it is not convenient
for the child to go home, lunch is brought to the school and eaten in one
of the classrooms. In these instances a teacher is present.
