upon procedure of feeding babies, we should be the
best equipped authority in the world for dealing with
this vast and difficult problem.
Unfortunately, nothing remains of all our conferences
and consultations except a memory of the
painful poverty of ideas exhibited by both sections,
plus the fact that no one really seems to be sufficiently
interested to take up this matter and deal with it in
right down dead earnest.
For purposes of record and report, I herewith
reproduce copies of three memoranda prepared in connection
with this matte
Health security.
The first was circulated by the Medical Officer of
Health on the 20th of April, 1910, to the members of
the Bethnal Green Health Society, as well as the
members of your Committee who attended the
conference on that date, and as that memorandum
was thought not to be sufficiently full, I prepared the
second memorandum and circulated same on April
26th. Unfortunately, nothing came of either the
conferences or the memoranda, and the matter lapsed
Considered until November last, when His Worship the Mayor
council. again brought the matter before the Council, with the
result that after an adjourned discussion at two
Council Meetings—where the third memorandum
dated 25th November was discussed—the whole
question was then referred back to your Committee,
the place from whence it originally started many
weary months ago.
