In October the children formerly found to have some health defect. 14 in mumber, were re-inspected hnd improved, and 5 had left for England. Defects were chiefly those of teeth, tonsils, or enlarged glands.
Health,
The general health of the chil dren is good-26 cases of infectious disease, have been notified, mumps. whooping cough, and measles be ing the most usual. Several chil- dren bave milk in the lunch inter val, and have been benefited. Most parents are very careful in report. ing any occurrence of infectious disease in their family or house. but a few forgot the importance of letting the school know of this at
once.
The knowledge allows precau tions (in disinfecting a child's pencils, etc.) to be taken, and ob- servation to be made of any sign of ill-health in the class. If at- tention is directed to these early, the complaint may be prevented from becoming epidemic.
Examinations: 26 children were entered for the Preparatory exam. of the Royal Drawing Society in June, and they, all passed-24 with honours.
