Abstract
SPECIAL educational facilities should obviously be provided for children who must spend weeks, montlis or even years in a hospital or sanatorium. Some attempt to meet this need has been made in the United States, and information concerning this service has been collected (U.S. Department of the Interior. Bulletin, No. 17; 1938). It is estimated that fifty or sixty thousand children in American hospitals need educational facilities, but less than eight thousand appear to be receiving tuition. It is pointed out that the hospital school has tliree values: therapeutic, vocational and general educational. It aids physical recovery by keeping the child's mind occupied and away from his misfortune.
