APPENDIX C.
Abnormal Children and the Mental Deficiency (Notification
of Children) Regulations, 1914; together with certain recom=
mendations consolidating the recommendations arising out
of this report with those already put forward in respect of
the Treatment of Eyes.
Municipal Offices,
Dyne Road, Kilburn, N.W.,
4th May, 1914.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Children's Care Committee.
Abnormal Children.
I beg to enclose herewith the following documents
isued by the Board of Education:—
(a) Mental Deficiency (Notification of Children)
lations, 1914.
(b) Model Arrangements, under Section 1 (1) of the
Elementary Education (Defective and Epileptic
Children) Act, 1899, and Section 31 (1) of the
Mental Deficiency Act, 1913.
(c) Circular 829, being a Memorandum on (a) and (b)
above.
In considering the foregoing papers and the methods to
be employed for ascertaining and classifying mentally defective
children, it may be useful to the Committee, in view of
these new Regulations and the new whole-time medical service
now in existence, if I survey the whole subject of
abnormal children and consolidate the present methods in
vogue.
