    School Premises.—The new Brunswick Council School for boys, girls and infants was opened on September 2nd, 1929. The Hope Class, Paradise Street, used for several years for backward children, has been closed (March 20th, 1929), and the children were transferred to the Open Air School, Milton Road. The King Street School was closed after the summer term. Groups of Children Inspected.—The children inspected were those usually classified as Entrants, i.e., children entering school for the first time, the eight-year old children (intermediates), the twelve and thirteen year old children (leavers;, and any other children presented for some special reason (specials). The number of children seen at routine inspections is 26 less than in 1928; there were 71 fewer special inspections, and 302 more re-inspections. The number belonging to the first three age groups (routine cases) and the number specially examined were :— Routine Cases : Boys Girls. Total.
