- Whenever a competent mistri is available, all wells should be sealed over with a cover which cannot be opened except for repairs and a strong pump should be provided with which to lift the water into an overhead cistern from which it can be delivered by a pipe line to the kitchen, to the bathing platform to the Superintendent's quarters and wherever else it may be required. At the bathing platform, wherever the supply of water and arrangement for drainage permits of this being done a long covered cistern should be provided with taps for 10 per cent of the boys and capable of holding a maximum of 4 gallons of water per head for bathing and washing platforms should be covered over.(Hygiene Conference.)
