Western Park Open Air School

In 1931, as Leicester's chief school medical officer of health, Warner, in the committee minutes, described the Western Park Open Air School as having a "healthy environment" that could put right a "child's nervous activity which has degenerated owing to disuse". Two years earlier he had maintained that "many health movements" had produced a "health conscience" which in turn expanded the Leicester School Medical Service. He acted as the medical advisor to Leicester's Mental Deficiency committee, and calculated that Leicester had "60 lower grade children and 300 adult defectives". at the age of 81. He was survived by his wife Elizabeth Maud.
