City Voluntary Schools: Alleged Attack by Board of Education: Grievance Discussed: the Birmingham Education Committee met yesterday at the Council House for the first time since the holidays, Mr. G. H. Kenrick (chairman) presiding. … … Mrs. Pinsent in moving the adoption of the report of the Special Schools Sub-Committee, referred to the new regulations issued by the Board of Education with regard to Special Schools. She hoped the new regulations were a sign that it was recognised that they had to deal with the total number of defectives in the country, and not a small percentage. It would be necessary however, for them to try by every means in their power to make the education of these defective children as economical as possible. Hitherto they had been unable to remove large numbers of defective children from the infant schools where they were a good deal of trouble both the scholars and teachers and did no good. The report was approved.
