Oak Lodge Day Special School for Mentally Defective Children.
Children attending Oak Lodge Special School for the Mentally
Defective have been increased in numbers from 20 to 42. This has been
rendered possible by causing them to be assembled at collecting points
convenient for their conveyance by ambulance. The cost per case of
conveyance has thus been reduced.
Open-Air Class.
There are 37 boys in attendance at the Open-Air Class. In accordance
with the new arrangements the boys attend at Orchard House during
the summer months and at the pavilion in Bruce Castle Park during
the winter.
These boys, who are selected by the medical officers, are re-examined
at frequent intervals in order to ascertain what progress has been made.
