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.
There is a special class at Bonner Hill Infants' School
where instruction is based upon the Montessori system, and
there are special classes for backward children in the Boys'
and Girls' Departments of the same School.
SCHOOL CAMP.
St. Peter's Girls' School.
The Head Teacher, Miss A. Thompson, and the assistants
again were able to raise funds to take a party of girls
to Dovercourt for a week.
Prior to departure on June 20th all the girls were
examined by the School Medical Officer.
The party consisted of 28 girls, 7 of whom were taken
for the holiday entirely free, 15 paid in full, and 6 in part.
Similar excursions have been made every year since
1922, and I think Miss Thompson is to be congratulated
upon her success.
