§ 68. Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTasked whether in some districts in Gloucestershire lectures are given periodically to the elder children in the elementary schools on the subject of pediculosis, with the result that this objectionable and easily communicable complaint has been substantially reduced among the children attending such schools; and whether, in view of the prevalence of this complaint throughout the country, the Board of Education will encourage this practice elsewhere?
Mr. PEASEThe practice the hon. Member refers to is approved by the Board, and is adopted in a number of districts.
