The lectures which for a considerable number of years have
been given by the Health Visitors to parents in the evenings at
various schools throughout the winter were continued in the early
part of this year. The attendances, however, were rather meagre,
and these lectures have been incorporated during the winter of
1914-1915 in a series of public health lectures which I have organised
with the help of the whole of the staff of the Department. A
note on these lectures appears on page 169.
On each of the four school care committees one of the Health
Visitors voluntarily gave her services during the year.
