Special Regulations applicable to Schools for Defective
or Epileptic Children.
(24) Provision must be made for the examination from
time to time of every child in a Defective or Epileptic
School at least once a year, by a suitably
qualified medical man, in order to ascertain
whether (a) he has attained such a mental and
physical condition as to be fit to attend an ordinary
class in a public elementary school, or (b) he is so
defective as to be incapable of profiting by education
of any kind.
For the purpose of giving effect to the foregoing enactments
and regulations I would suggest that the following
be nominated under Section 1 (3) of the Elementary
Education (Defective and Epileptic Children) Act, 1899, by
the Committee for the approval of the Board of Education :
George Frederick Buchan, M.D., Ch.B., D.P.H.
John MacMillan, M.B., Ch.B., D.P.H.
Irene Davy Eaton, M.B., B.S., D.P.H.
George Edward Shuttleworth,
B.A., M.D., M.R.C.S., L.S.A.
