The improvement in the conditions under which the duties of the
medical and clerical staff are now carried out will, without doubt, enhance
the value of the work undertaken. The excellent accommodation and
equipment is not only appreciated by the Committee's staff, but also by
the parents, many of whom have expressed their admiration for the new
Clinic premises.
SCHOOL HYGIENE.
In addition to the provision of a new nursery school, further steps
have been taken during the year towards the improvement and reorganisation
of the older schools in the district, and the foundations laid for the
building of a new senior boys' school to be known as the Rowland Hill
School. No year passes without leaving a record of improvements to
schools by which the conditions under which children receive their
education are assisted towards the high level which present-day standards
demand.
