Health Education
In these days when television and radio are more and more
keeping the general public informed on personal and public health,
the lectures which are given frequently by your officers are a necessary
supplement to their routine duties.
Not only is the education of the householder increased by talks
in the home, but more formal lectures are given to groups There is
an increasing demand for information on public health matters by
various sections of the community at organised meetings.
Your officers welcome the opportunity of discussing their work
and also learning from the audience their problems.
A great deal of educational work is done also by the sanitary
inspectors during their visits to trade premises and factories in their
food hygiene and smoke abatement problems.
There is overwhelming evidence that this educational work in the
home and workplace is more profitable than the organised exhibitions
which have been held from time to time.
