    With the laying of piped water supplies in some rural districts it has been possible to improve the sanitation at many rural schools. The school meals service now amounts to a huge catering business. Although great difficulties were experienced because of crowded kitchens and frequent changes of staff, it is worthy of note that no serious outbreak of food poisoning occurred. The detailed information included in this report has been pre¬ pared by my Deputy, Dr. Galloway, who has undertaken, on my behalf, the general supervision and control of the school health service. I should like to express my sincere appreciation and grateful thanks to the professional and clerical staff of the department, to the Director of Education and his staff, and the staffs of schools, for their willing help at all times. I am again indebted to the Chairman and the members of the Committee for their continued support. Your obedient Servant, J. W. PICKUP Principal School Medical Officer County Buildings, Worcester.
