degree. Two other blind children are being kept under observation,
but they are young children receiving medical treatment, and a
special school is not necessary at present.
Physically defective Children
Are sent to the special school at Brook Green, arrangements
being made for their safe conveyance to and from school. At
present no children from the district require this method of education.
Epileptic Children
No children suffering from fits are in attendance at a special
school.
Examination of Teachers
Eleven candidates, who desired to become pupil teachers were
medically examined since May 1908. Of these 10 were passed and
1 postponed. This candidate was passed on a subsequent medical
examination.
Twenty-two teachers have been examined on appointment to
schools in this district, 21 of these were passed and one was rejected
on account of defective health.
A record of each physical examination together with the
family history of the candidate is entered on a card and filed for
subsequent reference. This method has been found useful, when for
various reasons, it is necessary to make a second examination.
Special examination of Teachers
One teacher has been examined as the Committee required a
special report concerning her health.
