school for high myopes (defective vision). 2 boys have
removed to other areas, and one has been sent to a private
school. One girl was removed to Institutional Care and one
other girl was reported to Surrey County Council for AfterCare
supervision. Three pupils (2 girls and 1 boy) have
obtained good situations and are doing well.
(b) Physically Defective Children:—There is no School for
Physically Defective children in Wimbledon, and this subject
was discussed in my last Annual Report. During 1927, the
information brought to my knowledge did not assist me
further in arriving at a decision. The following special
cases were dealt with:—
2 (1 boy, 1 girl) admitted to "Myope" schools.
1 boy „ „ School for Deaf and Dumb Children.
2 boys „ „ Cripple (Residential) Schools.
1 boy „ „ an Open Air School.
1 girl „ „ a Recovery School.
2 epileptic cases (girls) awaiting admission to Epileptic Homes.
In addition to the above cases arrangements were made
for the treatment and supervision of six other cases, the
majority of whom were dealt with by Voluntary Associations.
Employment of Children and Young Persons:—109 children
were specially examined and certified as to employment.
Six Teachers were medically examined.
In conclusion I desire to thank the members of my staff
for loyal co-operation and service on all occasions.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
A GILMOUR,
School Medical Officer.
