of time, this Council will be in possession of a unique library of
Public Health films.
Lantern Slides.-During the course of the year, 251 lantern
slides have been made from our own sketches and photographs.
In speaking at public meetings, both indoor and outdoor, it has

Pamphlets, Leaflets and Posters.—Five pamphlets have been
issued during the year under the supervision and with the approval

Milk. Three of these pamphlets have been printed on the "Multigraph
" machine and, in addition, this machine has been used
for printing tickets of admission to a number of indoor lectures.
Under this heading it might be mentioned that this machine has
also been used for printing small illustrated advertisements on
envelopes. Blocks have been made dealing with " Grade 'A'
(Tuberculin Tested) Milk," " Neglect of the teeth," " Maternity
and Child Welfare " and " Sunlight." Hitherto these have been
used on the envelopes making appointments for patients at the
Tuberculosis Dispensary, but the method will be gradually extended
to include other Departments and other subjects. Further
pamphlets are in course of preparation and one poster is already
in hand dealing with Maternity and Child Welfare.
Indoor Lectures. —Before reporting about the lectures, I

to various persons interested in artificial sunlight and in propaganda.
Several teachers, doctors, health visitors and nurses have

and with the permission of Dr. King Brown. We have also had
the pleasure of showing films to quite a number of persons interested
in public health matters. Fifty-one indoor lectures have
been given during this year by various members of the staff, in-
