Square Centre, Mrs. Chapman, of the latter centre, taking her place at the Argyle Square group.
It is with great regret that I have to record the death, in May, 1921, of Miss E. L. Savory,
superintendent of the Chalton Street centre. Miss Savory had been in charge of that centre
from its opening in 1918, had given devoted service and had gained the esteem and affection
of all who had been brought in contact with her. Miss M. Manger, assistant at the centre,
was promoted to be superintendent on 25th May, and Miss M. A. Clarke was appointed as assistant
health visitor in her place on 22nd June.
