The sanitary condition of the Schools has been satisfactorily maintained.
I am glad to be able to record that the paving at the Dickerage Lane
Schools has received attention and greatly improved.
Very little infectious disease was reported among scholars attending
these Schools and one closure only was necessary during the year.
