HC Deb 02 August 1926 vol 198 c2625
62. Colonel DAY

asked the President of the Board of Education if he will consider suggesting to education authorities the institution of health and welfare courses for the older girls in council schools, on lines similar to those given at the Bedford College for Women, with a view to the better fitting of such girls for the carrying out of the duties of later life?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Duchess of Atholl)

The subject of health education will be dealt with in a special chapter in the revised edition of the volume of " Suggestions for Teachers," now in course of preparation.

Colonel DAY

Will it, also contain a reference to the work of welfare education?

Duchess of ATHOLL

I cannot say specifically, but I think my answer covers that question.
