Of the cases discharged as "Improved," one case of Stammering
was referred for medical treatment for Chorea, and the other
case of Stammering was referred to the West End Hospital for
Psychological investigation. One case of Cleft Palate was sent
back to Great Ormond Street Hospital for further operative treatment.
Of the cases who "Ceased Attending," the Cleft Palate case
ceased temporarily on account of the mother's illness. The case
of Lalling left the district. One case of Stammering was discharged
to Coombe Cliff Convalescent Home and the other case of Stammering
ceased on account of the non-co-operative attitude of the parent.
One case of Stammering in whom the speech defect was overcome
was referred thereafter to the West End Hospital for further
investigation of a Psychological character.
SCHOOL CAMPS.
A school camp was held, as usual, during the summer months
at Pilgrim Fort, near Caterham. The camp, which is provided
with a piped water supply from the East Surrey Water Company,
is provided with permanent buildings. Blankets, tents, stretchers,
etc., for sleeping purposes are provided, and the cookhouse is to be
rebuilt. The sanitary arrangements have been replaced by a
modern water flushed system.
Three hundred and thirty-four boys and girls from the elementary
schools went to the Camp during 1936 in parties, each party
going for one week. Fourteen weekly camps were held. All the
children are medically inspected before proceeding to camp. The
following are the schools which sent parties:—Ashburton, 42 boys?
