School Notes. 33
children if they have not had Measles. In other words children
over 7 years who have had measles may attend school even though
there is Measles in the house.
My own view is, either let all contacts attend school, or all
stay at home. Under trained supervision the former expedient
should not be attended with more risk than the latter.
MENTAL DEFICIENCY ACT.
As Medical Inspector under the Act, 1 have examined 4
mentally defective children and recommended them for special
schools or institutional treatment.
In this connection the Surrey Voluntary Association for the
care and supervision of the mental defective, does useful work.
The Secretary is Councillor H. A. Pike, 52 St. Leonards Road,
Mortlake.
SANITARY.
The schools have been inspected by the Sanitary Inspector
and various small defects found and remedied. Some of the defects
are architectural and permanent. In some cases the closets were
not kept clean. In one school the heating apparatus was found
defective and remedied. At Mortlake Council School and at East
Sheen Council School part of the playground is often under water
and requires asphalting and draining in each case.
