§ 40. Mr. ARNOLD WARDasked the President of the Board of Education in how many localities have special schools been provided by local authorities for physically defective children; whether the system has been found to be satisfactory in practice in the places where it has been adopted; and whether he will consider the question of extending the application of this method?
