79. Thanks to the co-operation of the local Military Authorities it has been possible to make use of the services of two N.C.O.'s, fully qualified as Physical Training Instructors, in provided schools during the year.

The usual school and "inter-school" sports meetings were held and keenly attended; and, in a number of schools—"provided" and "unprovided"—Scout troops are formed.
