There are four epileptic children attending the Public
Elementary Schools, but as they are mild cases there appears
to be no reason why they should not continue to do so at
present.
There are two children at Certified Schools for the Blina,
and two partially blind children, one attending the Public
Elementary Schools, and another at no School at present,
as he is under Hospital treatment, on the result of which
depends his ultimate disposal.
SCHOOL CAMP.
St. Peter's Girls' School.
. The Head Teacher, Miss A. Thompson, and her
assistants again were able to raise funds to take a party of
girls to Dovercourt for a week.
Prior to departure on June 17th, all the girls were
examined by the School Medical Officer.
The part)' consisted of 40 girls, 27 of whom were taken
for the holiday entirely free, while three contributed towards
their maintenance, and 10 paid in full.
Similar excursions have been made every year since
1922, and I think Miss Thompson is to be congratulated upon
her success.
The benefit of a seaside holiday to these children, who
are specially selected from the poorer part of the Borough
which this School serves, cannot be overestimated, and it
is hoped that this annual effort may be repeated for many
years to come.
