Dr. David Kerr
asked the Minister of Health what proposals he has to encourage experiments in the formal education of mentally subnormal children.
Mr. K. Robinson
It is the normal practice in junior and adult training centres and in hospitals to teach the use of written words and numbers to mentally subnormal children and adolescents who show sufficient aptitude and comprehension. A number of experiments in different teaching methods and research studies into learning processes are in progress.
