Thirteen children were found to be subject to be dealt with under the
provisions qf Section 67 of the Education Act, and were recommended for report

Sectlon 67(3) (Ineducable) 0
Section 67(6) (Requiring supervision after leaving school) 7
Lansbury School
At the routine medical examinations carried out during the year, among the
71 children seen, 17 defects were found to require treatment and 22 needed observation.
In addition, a number of visits were made to the school by several officers
to deal with the complex mental, physical and emotional problems of the scholars.
This school now takes educationally subnormal pupils In the younger age
groups so that the staff have a more extended opportunity to Inculcate good social
habits and develop what educational potential presents in the children.
We are grateful to Mr. North, the Head Teacher, for his co-operation and
records of observations on the pupils which are always at our disposal, and for
his advices in individual cases.

out during the spring and summer terms. Consequently the appended table relates
only to those of the age group born In 1943-4 for which the procedure had not been
completed at the end of 1957.
