The relationship between community school facilities and first admissions of mentally retarded children to Ontario Institutions was investigated for the period 1954-1963. The number of educable (I.Q. 50-75) mentally retarded children aged 6-16 years in community schools rose consistently (92.1/100,000 population in 1954 to 190.1 in 1963), while first admissions of educable mentally retarded persons aged 5-19 years to Ontario Hospital Schools showed no consistent trend (2.0/100,000 in 1954 and 2.0 in 1963). The number of trainable (I.Q. 20-50) mentally retarded children aged 5-18 years in community retarded children's schools rose steadily (10.9/100,000 population in 1954 to 42.8 in 1963), while first admissions in this category aged 5-19 years demonstrated no consistent trend (2.6/100,000 in 1954 and 2.2 in 1963).No indication was found that the age distribution of these first admissions had changed from 1954 to 1963. Any effect that increased school facilities might have had in reducing first admissions may have been nullified by the very large demand for a limited number of beds.
对1954年至1963年期间社区学校设施与安大略省机构首次收治智障儿童之间的关系进行了调查。社区学校中6至16岁可教育（智商50 - 75）智障儿童的数量持续上升（从1954年的每10万人口92.1人增至1963年的190.1人），而5至19岁可教育智障者首次进入安大略省医院学校的人数没有呈现出一致的趋势（1954年为每10万人口2.0人，1963年为2.0人）。社区智障儿童学校中5至18岁可训练（智商20 - 50）智障儿童的数量稳步上升（从1954年的每10万人口10.9人增至1963年的42.8人），而这一年龄段5至19岁首次收治的人数也没有呈现出一致的趋势（1954年为每10万人口2.6人，1963年为2.2人）。未发现这些首次收治人员的年龄分布在1954年至1963年期间发生变化。学校设施增加可能对减少首次收治产生的任何影响，可能已被对有限数量床位的巨大需求所抵消。
