Work of the Care Committees.
The six District Care Committees serving Campsbourne,
Crouch End, Harringay, Highgate, Muswell Hill and Stroud
Green meet regularly and give patient and sympathetic attention
and assistance in various forms to children with special
needs. The District Committees keep in touch with
each other through the Central Care Sub-Committee of the
Education Committee, which meets quarterly at the Town Hall.
The total income of the six District Care Committees for the
year was £314 (all from voluntary sources) and the expenditure
was £221, leaving a balance of £93. The money is spent in
assisting parents to provide spectacles ordered by the school
oculist, in providing additional milk in schools for certain
children and in various other ways.
The Children's Holiday Fund administered by the Central
''are Sub-Committee sent 169 children away for holidays at a
cost of about £250. The same Sub-Committee also spent over £1^0
in providing necessitous children with new boots and in repairing
old ones. The Education Authority has reason to be proud
of this magnificent organisation in which its own members, coopted
members, teachers, officials and parents co-operate for
the welfare of the school children.
I am,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
R, P. GARROW,
School Medical Officer.
