Department of the Chiswick Products Works, with respect to
the Dental Department, the School Dental Surgeon sending all

(7) The Invalid Children's Aid Association.—We much
appreciate the valuable services rendered to us by this Society,
particulars of which will be found under the Section describing
the Rheumatism Clinic.
A great deal of very valuable work is done by this Association
in the Borough and is highly appreciated by the School
Medical Service. A representative from the Association attends
all Rheumatism Clinics and a home visitor has been appointed
who follows up all special cases. We would like to emphasise
our indebtedness to this Association.
17.—BLIND, DEAF, MENTALLY DEFECTIVE
AND EPILEPTIC CHILDREN.
The number of these children is shown in Table III.
These children are discovered partly at the various inspections
and clinics and partly by the head teachers, who supply
lists of all such children they know are attending the schools.
Those not sent to Special Schools are kept under observation
and "backward" children are taught in special classes.
