CONDITION OF GIRLS' HEADS
| No. of Girls. | Per Cent. | |
| Clean | 7,000 | 30 |
| Nits present | 8,500 | 35 |
| Lice present | 8,500 | 35 |
And these figures, we are told, exclude many children sent home because their heads had "broken out" through the presence of lice.
As to clothing, here are the figures:
CONDITION OF CLOTHING
| No. of Children. | Per Cent. | |
| Good | 10,000 | 22 |
| Average | 19,000 | 42 |
| Bad or very bad | 16,000 | 36 |
As for boots, the results are worth the consideration of British bootmakers. As many as 6,500 children had foot-gear so bad that in many cases "it was difficult to see how what were meant for boots managed to keep on the feet."
Condition as to nutrition was judged broadly, irrespective of cause. Dr Crowley divided the schools into three classes—better class schools, poor schools, poorest. I take the case of the poorest schools:
C. SCHOOLS—POOREST
| Nutrition. | Infants. | Upper School. | ||
| No. | Per Cent. | No. | Per Cent. | |
| Good or sufficiently good | 51 | 30.7 | 105 | 24.4 |
| Below normal | 58 | 34.9 | 183 | 42.6 |
| Poor or very poor | 57 | 34.4 | 142 | 33.0 |
