The Maternity and Child Welfare Centre, opened in
1915, has been, and continues to be, very successful, and two
afternoons a week are now necessary to cope with the attendance.

mothers. The Centre is now held at the new Clinic
of the Education Authority, and the accommodation is more
commodious and satisfactory in every way.
