CONVALESCENT HOME TREATMENT.
The Council maintain 10 beds at the Russell Cotes School
of Recovery, Parkstone, Dorset, and children are selected from
the public elementary schools whose physical condition makes
a period of convalescence desirable. These children are sent
away for a period of six weeks and are examined before and
after their period of convalescence.
