The permanent "out-of-school cases" are provided with a
special card, and are vouched for from time to time by a Nurse
detailed for the purpose. Any changes in their condition justifying
re-examination are then brought to light.
Besides the above, an annual census is taken at the end of the
year of all exceptional children submitted by Head Teachers.
These are examined by the Medical Staff, and cases unfit for the
ordinary school are referred for further consideration.
(b) A Special Nurse is employed following up all mentally
defective children who are not in the schools. Briefly, all out of
school cases are periodically examined at the four annual examinations
to ascertain their fitness for the Special Schools, and followed
up at home to urge any treatment advised.
Two voluntary After-Care Committees sit to consider the
welfare of the children who have recently left the Special Schools
