suffering from a physical defect, they are admitted to the
Special Day School for Physically Defective Children at
" Elmfield," London Road, if considered unsuitable to attend
an ordinary Public Elementary School.
There is no Special Day School for Mentally Defective
children, and difficulty is experienced in the disposal of
feeble-minded children who are considered suitable for
admission to such a School.
Certain of these children would do better if they could
attend the Occupation Centre of the Surrey County Voluntary
Association, and it is hoped that arrangements will be made
in the near future for some of the lower grade feeble-minded
children to go there for instruction.
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.
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 22nd, all the girls were
examined by the School Medical Officer.
The party consisted of 30 girls, 20 of whom were taken
for the holiday entirely free, 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.
