THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE BOARD SCHOOLS. The Medical Officer referred to the sanitary condition of the Board Schools, md stated there were two ventilators from he school drainage the summits of which .vere so low that the effluvia was likely to ie drawn into the school through an open vindow and also through the ventilators m the roof.

The fees for examination,were very small indeed, and he noticed in Dr. Robinson s letter as read at the last meeting of -the Council there must have been some little misunderstand- ing ai5out it for this reason, if the resolu- tion was carried the Medical Officer of I lealth would be able to send specimens for examination, and it would be for their Medical Officer to send them. He gathered it was their impression that any Medical man attending a case could send specimens, but it was not a fact. The Medical Officer of Health simply asked them to subscribe to the Association as recommended by the East Kent Joint Committee so that he in the interest of the public health might be able to determine any doubt as to what might be the matter. Councillor Barnwell seconded. Dr. Robinson stated that most author- ities had adopted it. He believed Blean to be the only exception.
