Children and Young Persons Acts, 1908 to 1932.
The Health Visitors have continued to act as Infant Life Protection
Visitors during the year. The number of foster-mothers
and foster-children on the register at the end of the year was 13
and 14 respectively.
Day Nursery.
The work of the Day Nursery has been carried on as in previous
years at Stuart Villa, where, in spite of the poorness of the accommodation,
much good work has been done. The question of erecting
a new Day Nursery was raised again during the year, but no progress
has so far been made with the proposal.
The following table shows the attendances made at the Day Nursery throughout the year, and the corresponding figures for the previous year:—
