*Suspected pulmonary tuberculosis.
(а) These figures refer to cases of partial blindness and partial deafness.
(b) The number "not at school" includes children permanently disabled, certified as unfit to attend school for various periods, in
the country, etc. Many are in attendance at other institutions, such as hospitals, or in the care of the Metropolitan Asylums Board.
(c) Feebleminded children imbeciles and idiots. This includes certain children who have been transferred to institutions outside the
county, and also some under school age. A certain number have been dealt with under the Mental Deficiency Act; others are under the
care of the Metropolitan Asylums Board as the Poor Law Authority.
(d) The figures of the physically defectives in the ordinary schools are made up from the returns of routine inspection, and may include
certain cases which also come under other categories. The greater number of these cases would not be in any way certifiable as defective
in the terms of the Elementary Education (Defective and Epileptic Children) Acts, 1899 to 1914, the crippling not being of such an extent
as to interfere with ordinary education. At the last scheduling of the number of children who had been certified as suitable for admission
to P.D. schools, only 34 cases were in attendance at ordinary schools.
(e) The figures refer to the number of children passed through the camps during the year (accommodation 31.12.21—Bushy 300,
Margate 64, St. Leonards 40).
