Letter to the Editor

To the Editor. Dear Sir,

I should be glad to know whether it is the custom for a Local Authority who takes up the ease of an ” educaible ” .’feeble-minded child before the age of seven, to refer the child back to the Education Committee when he reaches that age, or whether the fact that the case required dealing with under the Mental Deficiency Act, would imply it should always be the responsibility of the Local Authority who would, of course, see that the child was ” educated ” in an Institution for high-grade defectives?”

I am, etc., C. Landon, Devonshire Voluntary Association, Exeter Bank Chambers, Exeter.
