HC Deb 21 July 1930 vol 241 cc1760-1W
Mr. DAY

asked the President of the Board of Education how many open-air classes have been conducted with the London schools during the 12 months ended to the last convenient date; whether he has any particulars as to the records of attendances for these open-air classes; and whether the children are reported to have gained in health and mental alertness through the holding of such schools?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

One hundred and ninety-five open-air classes have been conducted in connection with London public elementary schools during the year which will end on the 31st of the present month. No separate records of attendance are available, but I am informed that children in these classes continue to improve in health and mental alertness.
