Birmingham Education Committee: Letting of Council Schools for Whist Drives: Sub-Committee’s Advice: … … Mrs. Pinsent, on behalf of the Special Schools Committee. reported that the Board Education had made a grant of £225 in aid of the expenditure incurred on the medical treatment and care of children attending the Uffculme Open-air School. That amount was, roughly speaking, about £2 for each child; and added the grant obtained under the Epileptic Children’s Act, was increased to nearly £6 per head. That amount was almost half the expenditure on children in the open-air school. She thought the committee would consider that very satisfactory. (Hear, hear.)
