The Croydon Branch of the British Social Hygiene Council,
which receives a grant of £50 annually from the Borough Council
towards its expenses, carried out the following programme during
the year.
For these details I am indebted to the Honorary Secretary,
Mrs. M. L. Massey:—
"The opening meeting for the public was held on October
5th at the Town Hall. The address was given by Dr. E. Sloan
Chesser on the subject of " Happy Marriage."
A series of three lectures was given to the Golden Circle of
the Y.W.C.A. by Miss Swaisland. Another series of three
lectures was given to young men at the Y.M.C.A., Horniman
Hall, by Dr. Drummon Shiels and Mr. Hawkins, on " The
Place of Sex in Life."
Three Parents' Conferences were held in different parts of
Croydon, the subject of discussion being, " What to teach
Children about Sex." These were well attended and proved to be
most helpful.
Lastly, a public meeting was held at the Large Public Hall,
addressed by Dr. Doris Odium on "Sex and Responsibility." It
was attended by about 650 people.
At all the lectures free literature was distributed and selected
publications sold."
