TIPPETâ€"RICHARDSON "We endorse your idealism." said Maurice Anderson, chairâ€" man of the. board of health, "‘but must point out the public is much more willing to ask for services that it is to pay the increased tax bill." It was later estimated by Dr Prueter that between one and three per cent of the township‘s school population _ of _ 44,000 might benefit by such assess ment. Our procedure," he said, "is to spot these youngsters. Some we refer to clinics (outside the township), other are being takâ€" en care of by psychiatrists in private practice.

Treatment for disturbed chilâ€" dren might be provided on a day care basis in schools built in eonjunction with provincial hospitals such as Thistletown, where teachers could work with psychiatric direction.
