*There are other schools in each county where minor schemes of improvements, particularly in regard to heating and sanitation are being carried out or due to be carried out. A recent arrangement, whereby Managers are authorised to undertake such improvements without prior reference to the Department, will allow of such schemes being carried out more rapidly than heretofore.
