V.-PROPAGANDA.
The activities of the Health Department in the education
of the public have been continued on exactly the same lines as
reported on last year. There have, however, been various additions
to the films, and the various pamphlets and brochures which
are given away. There have naturally been enormous difficulties
in organizing this particular Department because the work has
been pioneer work, and we have had practically no precedents
to guide us.
Propaganda work throughout the country has only been undertaken
by Sanitary Authorities on an extremely limited scale, and
this has been supplemented to some extent by voluntary bodies.
None of these have undertaken anything like the general propaganda
work that we have undertaken, and their activities have,
for the most part, been restricted to some particular aspect of
Public Health in which the members of the Society were particularly
interested, and for which the Society was originally founded.
