Birmingham Daily Gazette: Saturday 27th June 1908

Mrs. Pinsent in moving the adoption of the report of the Special Schools Sub-committee referred to the report shortly to be issued by the Royal Commission on the Care of feeble-minded Children. She spoke of the excellent services of the After-care Sub-committee and remarked that the magnitude of that voluntary work might be gathered when she said that there were 535 individual cases, each of which was visited three times a year.

The sub-committee therefore after seven years experience with defectives endorsed the opinion previously expressed that for a large percentage of the feeble-minded permanent provision was necessary. Mrs. Pinsent said, in view of this they must all recognise that for a large — of the defective care and protection would be necessary, not only during their period of training but during their whole lives. … …
