HEALTH EDUCATION.
Two series of lectures, each illustrated by cinematograph
films, were organised by the British Social
Hygiene Council and were given in the Lecture Hall
of the Public Library, during the year, as follows:
In January, an afternoon lecture to women,
followed by a mixed meeting in the evening, were
followed by talks on 3 successive Tuesday evenings to
young women, and on 3 successive Wednesday evenings
to young men. The then Chairman (Councillor Miss
L. D. Benoly, J.P.) of the Public Health Committee

At the end of the year, 3 more lectures were
given as follows:
10th October by Dr. I. Feldman (for men).

(Councillor C. Bennett, J.P.)
14th November by Dr. Rose Turner (for women).

The lectures were well attended and much appreciated,
as evidenced by the intelligent questions asked.
The Public Health Committee took a stand at the
Exhibition of Industries, organised by the Bethnal
Green Chamber of Commerce, which was held in the
York Hall, Old Ford Road, from the 25th October to
1st November. Various aspects of the work of the
Public Health Department were illustrated, and the
stand evoked a good deal of public interest,
