Following Up.
The arrangements for the following up of children suffering from
physical defects are as detailed in my report for 1919.
Medical Treatment.
The same methods are employed and are available for the treatment
of defects as reported in 1920.
Open -Air Education.
Playground Classes.— Playground classes have been held during the
Summer wherever conditions permitted.
Holiday Camps and School Journeys.— These were conducted on the
same lines as in 1920. The places visited being as follows :—
Down Lane Central School.— Midhurst and Bangor.
Risley Avenue Central School.— Jevington, Sussex.
St. Katharine's Girls' School.— Dorking.
St. Paul's Girls' School.— Aberystwyth.
West Green Boys' School.— Deal.
Open-Air Classes.— Those reported in 1920 are still in existence.
Added to these the Coombes Croft Boys' School has now an open-air
class. The one for Lancasterian School, in Bruce Castle Park, has not
materialised.
Physical Exercises.
An addition specialist teacher for physical training of children has
been appointed for Downhills Central School. There are now, therefore,
two special teachers for physical exercises, the other teacher having
charge of Risley Avenue Central School.
Provision of Meals.
The same arrangement obtains as in previous years, except that
there has been a hut erected at Lancasterian School for the more commodious
accommodation of sohool-fed children.
