SPECIAL SCHOOLS.
The Special School for Physically Defective Children is
situated at " Elmfield," London Road.
There are 35 Physically Defective Children on the
register, three of whom come from outside the Borough.
The School Medical Officer periodically examines the
children, and the Clinic, being on the same premises, is
always at hand should the Head Teacher desire to consult
him or the School Nurse about any child.
Children needing Orthopaedic treatment attend the Red
Cross Curative Post, Norbiton, when necessary.
SCHOOL CLINIC.
The Clinic is situated at " Elmfield," London Road.
The Medical Inspection Room is used also as the Minor
Ailments and Eye Clinics.
Heating is maintained by closed stoves, artificial lighting;
by incandescent gas, and there is a supply of hot and cold
water.
The Dental Clinic is situated on the first floor of the
main building, and consists of a Waiting Room and Operating
Room, communicating by an internal door, which
obviates the necessity for a child to return to the Waiting
Room after treatment.
This is a great advantage, especially on days devoted
to extractions under a general anaesthetic.
