Miss Thompson, Head Teacher of the Physically Defective School,
reports as follows:—

"In essentials the school is being carried on as in former years.
The art work is showing more progress thanks to the presence of a
highly qualified Art Teacher, and this facilitates the placing of
children in certain occupations. The children have enjoyed
numerous treats, outings and special prizes during the year, and
the number of friends outside the school has certainly increased.
"The annual dinner for former scholars was held in February
and, in addition to hearing of their progress at work, the Masseuses
who kindly attend, are able to note their physical condition. The
results are gratifying to those who are in charge of the remedial
work.
''Girls, generally speaking, continue to find employment without
difficulty. The boys have to be helped by the After-Care Committee
more often.''
Brookfield Orthopaedic Hospital.— The Orthopaedic Scheme continues
to depend for a great deal of its success on Brookfield Hospital,
which is provided by voluntary effort. It is a Hospital School
recognised by the Board of Education and the Ministry of Health.
Thirty beds are provided.
