HEALTH EDUCATION.
500 copies each month of the journal Better Health were distributed
free in the borough. This journal is issued by the Central
Council for Health Education, and there can be no doubt as to its
great educational value in all matters relating to health and hygiene.
Copies are distributed to mothers attending the Welfare
Centres, Head Teachers of the elementary schools of the borough,
Councillors, and members of the public who intimate a wish to be
supplied with regular copies. Copies are also distributed by means
of the Public Library, Town Clark's, Public Health and Rates
Offices.
Health Lectures.—By arrangement with the British Social
Hygiene Council the following lectures to mothers were given at
the Barton House Welfare Centre in October in place of the usual
Tuesday afternoon health talks :—
" Answering Children's Questions."
" Problems of the Growing Girl."
" Social Hygiene and the Community."
These lectures were well attended, and the lecturer (Miss M.
Bennett) is to be commended on the able manner in which she
delivered the addresses, which the mothers found both interesting
and instructive.
