autumn term that visits were resumed, when 52 children made 36
visits arranged as follows: —
Girls to a day nursery and an infant welfare centre during a
morning or afternoon, two attending at each session.
Boys to the Central Baths where they were shown the plant,
machinery and working of the baths and laundries.
Girls and boys to the Bacteriological Laboratory and Disinfecting
Station with a talk on " Keeping the Borough Healthy."
Girls and boys to the Public Health Centre where they learned
more about the health services of the borough.
Girls and boys to the Propaganda Office for a talk on " Local
Government and how it works," illustrated by a film. Inspection
of the Council Chamber, Committee Rooms, Mayor's
Parlour, etc., were included in these visits.
That much valuable information is gained by the children is
evident from the fact that essays written, by them at school after the
course, show a good grasp of the subject.
