The inspections of the Sanitary conveniences at the
railway stations have been continued. On each occasion
these have been found in reasonably good order.
They are flushed at intervals by the officials.
The "Cards of Advice" continue to be distributed,
and are usually received with an appreciative remark;
but they are not kept. Many people hang them
on their wall at first, but after a time they disappear,
and when enquired after later cannot be accounted
for. There is, however, little doubt that they do help
to impress the advice given upon the minds of the
mothers.
I am, Sir,
Yours faithfully,
A. K. HARRIS.
