The Spastic Class continued along previous lines and consisted of
9 children. In addition 1 boy was in the grammar school group and 4 were
in the ordinary classes of the school, making a total of 14 altogether.
One child aged 5 years is awaiting a vacancy in the Spastic Class.
During the year a start has been made in recommending admission to the
new Spastic Unit which, it is hoped, will soon be opened. So far 7 children
have been so recommended and neighbouring boroughs have been asked
to submit the names of suitable children for vetting with a view to admission
when the time comes.
As a result of the medical officer's periodic examinations, children
have been recommended for treatment as follows:—
Extra milk in school 34
Cod liver oil emulsion in school 34
