Certain improvements in the equipment and
management of the main Centre may be summarised
(1) Green bamboo sunblinds have been provided in
certain rooms, being adjusted on supports so as
to provide shade without impeding ventilation.
(2) Open wire baskets are being gradually substituted
for wicker baskets as holders for infants'
clothing. Such wire baskets are more easily
cleansed after use.
(3) Dried milk measures are provided and are appreciated
by the mothers, many of whom now
speak of so many measures per feed instead
of teaspoonfuls, which, of course, are variable,
according as to whether an eggspoon or large
teaspoon is used.
(4) A portable electric lamp on a flexible stand has
been provided for use in the Maternity Clinic.
(5) A large wooden shute has been erected for the
delivery of cases of dried milk in the basement.
