The sanitary condition of the Schools is now satisfactory.
The alteration for cloak rooms at the Lime Grove Schools has
not been carried out.
The Soup Kitchen is again carrying out its good work,
having provided 6,500 free meals to necessitous children during
the winter; and it has now taken a permanent and honourable
place among the societies of the district.
The Private Schools are regularly inspected, and the sanitary
improvements which have been recommended have been carried
out.
One of these schools was closed on account of Diphtheria.
