Birmingham Mail: Friday 27th March 1908

… Mrs. Pinsent, in submitting the report of the Special Schools Subcommittee, urged the need for increasing the number of mentally defective children at Sandwell Hall at one time from 20 to 60. The school, said Mrs. Pinsent, was actually in existence and was likely to be really successful and the accommodation was inadequate to the demands made for places. The present limitation fixed by the committee kept out many urgent cases in the city and the committee wished to be empowered to ask the Warden of Sandwell to give preference to Birmingham children when there should be accommodation at the school. Alderman Tonks described the proposal as an unwise one, and strongly protested against a suggestion which would involve a capital outlay of £36,00. The Chairman, while sympathising with the proposal, and hoping that in due course all those cases would be dealt with, said they should show their loyalty to the city Council by not hurrying too quickly. After some further discussion, Mrs. Pinsent agreed to accept a revision of the recommendation so as to provide for thirty children, and this proposal was eventually approved.
