(b) School Camps.
The Education Committee sent 217 scholars to the East
Cowes Holiday Camp during the year 1933, and in addition the
following School Journeys were undertaken:—
Brampton Senior Girls 29

Clacton-on-Sea.
Arrangements have also been made for the admission of
children to the Russell-Cotes School of Recovery at Parkstone,
St. Dominic's School of Recovery at Godalming, St. Mary's
School of Recovery at Dover, and to the Institutions of the
Invalid Children's Aid Association. The accompanying table

Association. Twenty-three children have been sent to Schools of
Recovery, through this Association, by arrangement with the Local
