Report for the Year 1932.
During the past year 64 cases have been visited and
reported upon to the Committee. Fifteen of these being
statutory cases have been visited for, and reported upon
to the Kent Mental Deficiency Committee. In addition,
four other cases for whom our Committee is only temporarily
responsible, have been frequently visited and
reported upon to the appropriate authority.
Forty-four ex-pupils of the Special School are still
on our list: —
Twelve of these are in regular work and appear
to be giving satisfaction.
Six are sometimes in work but have unsatisfactory
homes, and suffer from the prevailing unemployment.
Six are never likely to do much, being too feeble
either mentally or physically.
Eleven are in domestic work, either as housewives
or as domestic servants.
Nine are occasionally in work, but are unstable.
