General Remarks
The nutrition, clothing and cleanliness of the children continued
to be of a high standard, and the children attended the
centres very regularly.
The centres are staffed by a medical officer, two health visitors
and voluntary helpers, who have rendered most valuable service
by selling food, keeping the registers, etc.
