There are two public Schools in the town : — (1) The Council Schools for boys and girls, which is sup- plied with a well of water and with privies, which latter are not in a very excellent condition, and would be the better for being- changed to water closets when there is water to be had. (2) The Church Schools, also mixed, are a little better off in their sanitary arrangements, but as the water for flushing the closets has to be pumped, it is left with the caretaker as to how often this is done. 15—^Dairies. The milk supply of the town remains in the same excellent condition. I am glad to note that the suggestions which I made in last year’s report have been carried out. 16.—Method of dealing* with Infectious Diseases.
