16.—CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER BODIES.
(1) N.S.P.C.C.—The District Inspector of this Society
receives reports from us on cases in which we think a visit from
him may assist us in obtaining certain urgent treatment for
children.
The cases of 52 school children from this district were
investigated by the Society's officers during the year, entailing
100 visits to their homes.
(2) Relieving Officers.—Mr. Copp and Mr. Gibson continued
to give us willing help in all cases referred to them during the
year and we are grateful to them for their invariable courtesy
and promptness.
(3) The Brentford and Chiswick Philanthropic Societies.—
These Societies are always very willing to help children
recommended to them who are in need of extra nourishment or
clothing.
