The places are filled, and many children have to await vacancies.
There is certainly room for another Special School in the
Borough. Entrance examinations are held quarterly, and cases
are seen as they arise, instead of awaiting the next fixed examination.
Work in connection with After-Care Committees consists of
(1) Interviews with parents and children by Head Teachers.
(2) Investigations by two After-Care Committees in each half of
the Borough.
(3) Visits of Mr. Tarr, the Juvenile Employment Officer and
Secretary of the After-Care Committee.
BLIND CHILDREN.
The Authority itself has no provision for the education of
blind or semi-blind children—a few of the latter attend the Special
Schools. The question of Myopic Classes is still under consideration.
