Mothercraft Classes.—These exist at each Centre and are attended
by mothers both before and after confinement. The classes at the
Pimlico and Bessborough Centres are under the care of Mrs. Coleman and
Mrs. Grice, of the Westminster Branch of the British Red Cross Society,
the former superintending the class, giving instructions to the mothers
and supervising the cutting out and making of garments for the children;
the latter, with the assistance of other ladies, looks after the children
who accompany their mothers. The figures given below show an
increase in attendances at Bessborough Street.
Mothercraft classes are also carried on at the Greek Street, Rochester
Row and Mayfair Centres by the Health Society.
