Inspectors (defective drains, w.c.'s, etc.) 34
The Female Inspectors during 1912 were engaged in
visiting 50 houses wherein deaths from infantile (summer)
diarrhoea were reported as having occurred, with a view
to helping to further elucidate the predisposing causes of
this disease; in inspecting schools (135) in connection with
outbreaks of disease (more especially measles); in
visiting 1,048 private houses, wherein births had been notified
or registered, with a view to educating the mothers and
others concerned how best to feed their infants; and in
visiting 865 tuberculosis cases at their homes. Re-visits
were paid to, and re-inspections made of, houses in connection
with 108 births, 3 diarrhoea and 144 tuberculosis,
cases.
The Female Public Conveniences are under the supervisioni
of the Female Inspectors.
