The report of the Special Schools Sub-Committee, moved by Mrs. Pinsent, recommended the renting of the Old Meeting School, Bristol Street, for the purpose of a temporary special school for mentally defective children. It was proposed, said Mrs. Pinsent, to transfer the children from Rea Street to this centre. There were 35 children waiting for admission and before long it would probably be necessary to provide permanent accommodation in this neighbourhood. The Report was adopted.
