This amendment to the Scheme, with the approval of the Minister of Health, was accepted,
and provides for an annual contribution of £500 to be made by the Council to the Paddington
School for Mothers as from July 1st, 1931, the date of the transfer of the Salaried Staff to the
service of the Council.
The following is a brief account of the activities of the Paddington School for Mothers:—
