§ Mr. SHORTasked the President of the Board of Education what is the number of open air schools under the county and local educational authorities of Staffordshire, and the number of children in attendance?
Duchess of ATHOLLThere are at present two open air schools in Staffordshire, and two hospital schools conducted on open-air lines. The total number of children on the registers of the four schools on 31st March, 1926, was 158. The hon. Member will, however, understand that the total number of children dealt with in institutions of this type during the year is very considerably larger than the number in attendance on any given date.
