HEALTH TALKS.
Talks on subjects of interest to the mothers
attending the Centres have been given at intervals
throughout the year. In many cases they have been
given with practical demonstrations and great interest
has been taken in them, questions being asked and
discussion often following. Our thanks are due to
the senior student Health Visitors who attend here for
their practical work for their able assistance with
these talks. The three main groups of subjects that
have been taken as the basis for individual talks are
the Mother, the Infant and the Toddler. A classification
