A reference to Table III will show that out of 119 children
who have been certified as mentally defective but educable in a
special school, 39 (39 in 1922) are having no education, 24 are
attending an ordinary elementary school (14 in 1922), and 56 have
been satisfactorily placed. The certification, as a special school,
under Part V of the Education Act, 1921, of the classes held at
Shrewsbury Road School, carries us a step towards increasing the
facilities for educating the feeble-minded within the Borough, but
the fact that 63 children are not receiving suitable instruction
clearly indicates the necessity for the further expansion of these
facilities.
