STAMMERERS.
Throughout the year special classes of six weeks' duration
have been carried on at Cave Road School.
The number in each class is about ten, and a continuous waiting
list is available from the findings of the annual census of exceptional
children.
The classes, which are under the supervision of Mrs. Wardhaugh,
have been very successful, and the results have been promising.
There were eight cases where sufficient improvement was
not made during the First Course; these were recommended for
a further Course.
The children are medically examined before and at the end
of the course. During the year 38 boys and 6 girls attended the
1st classes for stammering children, 10 boys and 5 girls were taking
the 2nd course, and 2 boys a 3rd course.
(18) Nursery Schools.
There are now two Nursery Schools in the Borough which
have applied to the Board for recognition, and this is supported
by the Education Committee. Up to the present no statutory
medical examinations have taken place in the schools, but children
under 5 years for whom operative treatment of tonsils and
adenoids is required are referred for the treatment by the Maternity
and Child Welfare Department.
Two Nursery Schools have been erected by the Education
Committee on sites adjoining Abbey and Rosetta Road Schools.
Three class-rooms are provided for 40 children each, giving a
total of 120 at each school. It is hoped that these schools will be
opened in August, 1930.
