Tottenham low-grade mental defectives attend two occupation
centres' maintained by the Middlesex County Council. One of these is
situated in the Borough and the other is in that portion of Wood Green
which is adjacent to Tottenham. By arrangement with the County
the same provisions for medical inspection and treatment as apply to
elementary school children are available for children attending the
Tottenham centre.
If a child under the age of 7 years is examined and it appears probable
that on reaching that age the case will become notifiable to the Local
Authority under the Mental Deficiency Act, information is sent, as soon
as the diagnosis has been made, to the medical officer appointed under
that Act in order that he may deal with the case without loss of time.

Physically Defective Children.
There were at the end of the year 69 children in attendance at the
