The Croydon Branch of the British Social Hygiene Council
has been active during the year, and I am indebted to the Hon.
Secretary, Mrs. F. W. Rees, for the following report. The
Council give a grant of £50 towards the expenses of this branch.
The following is a report of the work carried out during the
past year.
A public meeting was held in the Public Halls in George
Street, at which a film, entitled "Trial by Marriage" was given,
the speaker on this occasion being Dr. Drummond Shiels, M.C.,
and at which His Worship the Mayor took the chair. This meeting
was extremely well attended.
Conferences have been held with the parents of both boys
and girls, when Dr. Feldman and Dr. N. Davey took charge of
these conferences. Considerable interest was shown by the
number of questions asked. These conferences have been an
undoubted success.
An afternoon talk was given to the West Ward of the
Women's Citizens Union by Miss Swaisland, B.Sc., on
"Problems affecting the up-bringing of children."
A similar talk was arranged for the East Ward of the
Women's Citizens Union, when the speaker was Miss Helen
Bennett, and also one for the Women's Class of the Croydon
Adult School, the speaker being Miss Swaisland, B.Sc.
In addition to the above a certain amount of definite
propaganda work has been carried out in co-operation with the
Libraries, and suitable literature has been distributed in the
schools by co-operation with the Education Officer, Head Masters
and Head Mistresses.
