Dr. Barnett Stross
asked the Minister of Education whether she proposes to encourage the teaching of the principles of nutrition throughout the schools; and from what age it is suggested that the subject be taught
Miss Wilkinson
I shall certainly encourage the teaching of nutrition to secondary school pupils, particularly through such subjects as housecraft, hygiene and other branches of science. Younger children will learn valuable practical lessons through the school meals and milk service.
