PARKSTONE CONVALESCENT HOME.
In last year's report I gave details of the arrangements made
by the Education Committee with the Shaftesbury Society for four
places in the above Home to be reserved for Beckenham School
Children. These four places could only be filled by boys, and no
provision at that time was available for girls. Since then, owing to
extension of the Home, an opportunity occurred of securing two
further places for girls, so that the Committee have now six places
in the Home.
