school nurses, who in Bromley also act as health visitors,
and much can he done, and is being done, to give advice
on the proper care of the sick child and the correction of
a causal element. This especially applies to the maladjusted
child. The services of the Bromley Children's Care
Committee are invaluable, and I am much indebted to
Miss M. A. Isard for the zealous services which she and
others render so willingly.
Report of the Bromley Children's Care Committee, 1937.
"Established upwards of thirty years ago, this Committee may
lake justifiable pride in the work it has done, and continues to do. for
the welfare of the children attending the public elementary schools of
the Borough. Year by year the Health Services have grown, and there
has been an ever increasing demand for the attendance of voluntary
workers at the clinics and centres. The Committee is much indebted to
the members who not only retain a zealous interest in the work of
the Committee. but freely sacrifice a lot of their time week by week at
the clinics. The officials of the Health Services are extremely
appreciative of the very valuable assistance our members are able to
give.
The Committee regretted the loss of the services of two members
this year, who, after several years of valuable assistance in the work,
found it necessary to resign. We were fortunate in obtaining two more
helpers to fill the vacancies.
The Committee again wishes to tender thanks to Mr. Harris for
supplying spectacles at specially reduced rates to the children, to Mr.
Harvey Lowe, who, through the Queen's Reign Commemoration Fund,
has helped with convalescent letters for the children, and also to the
Bromley Benevolent Association and the Charities Festivities Committee
for those generous monetary grantvs without which the Committee could
not have carried on its work effectively.

One child was sent to the Lancing Home for a period of three
months convalescence.
