1932] 16
THE VOLUNTARY WELFARE CENTRES.
As indicated in the introductory letter to this report, it has been found
awkward, owing to the reports of the Voluntary Centres being up to the 31st
March, and not a calendar year, to include reports really in advance of the
year under consideration. These reports of the Voluntary Centres will be, of
course, made use of in preparing next year's report. Advantage has, however,
been taken of certain figures supplied by the Centres up to the close of the calendar

Table: year, 1932. It must be noted, of course, that the Table here given cannot be compared exactly with the Table in last year's report as the periods do not coincide.
