The average duration of residential treatment given by the
London County Council in 1937 to 291 adults was 17.7 weeks.
The average duration of residential treatment given to 48 children
by the London County Council in 1937 was 17.5 weeks. This refers
only to those who began treatment in that year. Many of these
will remain in institutions during varying periods of 1938. Some
will probably remain the whole year. The ultimate averages are
therefore to be reckoned as considerably higher. It should be
remembered that a good many patients took their discharge before
completion of treatment thereby' reducing the possible averages.

in Camberwell who collected £37 2s. 5d. —to six cinemas (Astoria,
Coronet, Gaumont, Golden Domes, New Grand Hall and Tower),
who so kindly showed free of charge a film advertising the Seal Sale.
