(b) Is the engagement of suck officer to be of a temporary nature, or is he to be attached to the Medical Department permanently and seconded for this particular work?" Can the Head, of the Sanitary Department ascertain in how many Schools Government Grant-in-ald and Vernacular, the subject of Hygiene is taught; what proportion do these bear to the total num- ber of schools; is stress laid upon the application of Hygiene to local conditions; and is any test practical or written applied to ascertain the results of such instruc-i tion periodically during the year?"
