SCHOOL FLOORS
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir, —I attended a meeting in the Beckenham School last night, and I soon realised the floors had been oiled. I have worked in a few engine rooms aboard ship and on shore, but for smell this oil the school has got on the floor takes the bun —also for dx-abness and dullness. If the school authorities or the Education Board think it is the goods, why not do the Post Office and other public buildings? I do not think it would be tolerated there, so why at the school. Other residents in the district think it disgraceful also. —Yours, etc., BRIGHTNESS.
January 26, 1937. [“I have no comment to offer on the letters of anonymous correspondents,” said the chairman of the Beckenham School Committee, Mr E. A. Thompson, when this letter was referred to him. “If the writer will sign his name, the reasons and advantages of the floor treatment will be explained.”]
