Lieut.-Colonel MOOREasked the President of the Board of Education whether any education authorities have carried out experiments in the regular provision for their school children of nourishment other than whole milk, and with what results?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANA few local education authorities have provided dried milk in various forms, but it is the Board's experience that the provision of fresh milk is preferable. In addition to the provision of milk, ordinary meals are, of course, provided by a considerable number of authorities, while in certain cases supplementary nourishment is given in the form of cod liver oil.
Lieut.-Colonel MOOREasked the President of the Board of Education which education authorities are now taking advantage of their powers to supply milk to school children in their districts?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANFollowing is a list of the 64 education authorities which are providing milk for school children.
