Although the County probably stands comparatively well in its provision of specialist teachers of physical training, it has not yet become possible to provide for their ministra¬ tions alone to allow two full periods of physical training per week for each child in secondary schools. An advance towards this desirable end is made when, as at Brampton, a keen member of the school staff is persuaded to eipiip him¬ self for part-time work in physical training. The beneficial results of the two periods are amply illustrated by the development of the girls of Wigton Thomlinson School. Sports’ Days, Competitions, etc. usual School bports Days and Special Cvmnastic Competitions have been held, and in many cases the Com¬ mittee s Organisers have given help as judges, etc., and in an advisory capacity. Wliitehaven School had an excellent series of^ Form Competitions. At Wigton Nelson School ‘‘ Cym.” Colours were awarded on the Sports Day. Carlisle Grariimar School had an excellent Swimming Gala, with special good junior diving. A high standard'of work was shown in the Competitions at Wigton Thomlinson School and at Wliitehaven. i he tdiiet Alan Organiser was again honoured by being asked to act as Judge at the Annual Com]ietition at Barrow Grammar School. He was also Sports Referee at the Elementary School Sjiorts of the Workington and Whitehaven .\uthorities.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29132411_0068.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
