358edabe-4264-4859-a557-58e835050e63 | I should look with the greatest disapproval on any invidious distinctions drawn between the children who are attending Faircross School for ordinary elementary education and those who attend there for special reasons, because we have been at great pains to make sure no one attends the Open-air School who is likely to s... |
6dc48fee-1e05-437e-a22c-71ad48605ae2 | This brings me naturally to the questions: " How many places do you really want in any educational system for open-air school education ? " " How many debilitated children are you likely to meet who cannot obtain proper benefit from education in an ordinary elementary school ? " " Have we nearly enough places in Barkin... |
29f78012-fec3-4757-bb6b-5722be7e535e | • (/) Residential Open-air Schools.—We have no residential openair school as such, and I do think the time has come when something should be done, at least during the summer months, to make Faircross a residential school. 30 So far as possible in the selection of cases for admission to Faircross, I try to make sure tha... |
54b00519-af63-41d0-a904-8f06a32c1161 | For my part I am willing to look upon it as a definite possibility that an equal amount of money spent on a residential institution of fewer places would give more definite and lasting results than that amount of money spent on an ordinary non-residential open-air school. What I suggest is that, at least during the sum... |
ed81da25-c1de-4a7f-a6da-23979a266ede | The spectacular efficiency of physical exercises, whilst, indeed, an index of the efficiency of these exercises, must not keep us from recognising that the very best exercises of all are those in which the movements of the body are purposeful and free from restraint. 31 In this connection, organised games fulfil a very... |
e74d9a1b-722b-402d-9270-0b91e1ea38e0 | It would be unwise at the present juncture to state that by teaching these children to breathe properly they will of necessity become more intelligent ; but this may be so, and in so far as correct breathing will increase their physical vigour, it certainly will in some measure be so. The fault lies in the fact that ou... |
25ff5478-4a6c-47a9-81b5-a3e1b4fd046c | When the chest is expanded the shoulders will naturally be carried somewhat backwards, but merely by muscular activity to null the shoulders backwards and so to expose the greater part of the upper chest has nothing whatsoever to do with chest expansion, and, however spectacular, does not add one iota to the efficiency... |
f5f520fd-2533-440b-a03e-7851ffc258e5 | The straight back is the ideal, and the hollow backs seen in many of our children are much to be discouraged. In boys they detract from mechanical efficiency, and in girls they do even more, because they militate against " normal deliver}' " when in process ,of time the selfsame girls become the mothers of the nation. ... |
9508b405-9884-4b1a-a3b8-9ad4247acbfb | The stimulus of bathing makes the skin react naturally, and the more people accustom their skin to this and similar reactions the less are they likely to find themselves subject to colds. There are public swimming baths at East Street. These belong to the Council. Children attending elementary schools are instructed in... |
ffd47f26-ce2b-4356-950e-f0acb6b88e9e | I would like here, once again, to call your attention to the fact it is highly desirable to include in your statistics the children who come within the code groups, whether they are suffering from any disability or not, because only by so doing can you test the efficiency of your educational system as a public health m... |

b2644fd6-a48d-4915-8ed4-826a9719d8f9 | To make absolutely certain it would be necessary to hold a special census, but even if this were done the result would be uncertain unless exceptional measures were taken, so that although, of course, we cannot declare that our returns under these headings are absolutely accurate, we know them to be sufficiently accura... |
7b867ba5-9218-47a8-9556-8092423761d3 | Mentally Defective Class, Open-air School.—This class serves a very useful purpose. It takes out from the ordinary elementary schools a number of scholars who would unquestionably clog the machinery of ordinary elementary education. Further, it gives these children a training from which they can benefit educationally. ... |
a72de5ad-ed3a-4a37-91d1-26a91e41a8c2 | It is invidious that these dull and backward children, however low grade, should be classified as mentally defective, and no scheme is complete which deals only with mentally defectr children and leaves the larger class of dull and backward children uncatered for. It may be possible for these dull and backward children... |
7751f30e-aed4-4c1e-b79f-5e2943b20d04 | They are only educable under the influence of a constant stimulus. Directly they leave school they not only entirely discontinue their education, but actually go backwards. These are the children who bring great discredit on our educational system, and are the evidence on which the critics of education found their biti... |
953d2b86-ce2e-449a-91b5-447c6c45fa23 | It is these dull and backward children who decrease the productivity of industry; they increase expenditure, not only on prison services, but also on relief work and many other forms of public enterprise, including expenditure on hospitals and other 36 medical organisations, because the health of these people is visual... |

d9da12f1-daf5-43e7-9a79-8062e187e745 | The motto of the Orthopaedic Clinic should always be " Prevention is better than cure," and this idea is fostered by the medical examination at an early age of every child, whereby defects are discovered and treated, and potential weaknesses, strengthened and often cured.

9e160f50-66b9-493b-b07f-381df1ed640d | It is the wish, I feel sure, of the governing authorities that in this clinic, as in all others which they govern, the standard and reputation should be of the highest, and this, therefore, has been the keenly sought objective throughout the past year.

e3e4ec43-a697-46a9-a47f-ef25aa1810ca | With the work of the clinic growing, it seems inevitable that in the latter circumstances a congestion must occur.
