It is a class where men and women learn leather work, raffia work and various things,
but also it is becoming somewhat of a social event and Friday morning in the Lecture
Room of the Royal Chest Hospital is a very pleasant friendly time for students and
teacher and those that visit it. And for two hours these tuberculous men and
women are bright and interested, and the fact that they are ill is forgotten. Each
student is supplied with one pint of milk at each class.
At their meeting on 21st October, the Council adopted a resolution of the Health
Committee recommending that the constitution of the Care Committee should be
revised as follows:—
(1) That, subject to the approval of the London County Council, the Shoreditch
Tuberculosis Care Committee be constituted of 15 members, including two
representatives of the Public Health Committee, and one representative
of the Local Public Assistance Committee.
(2) That the appointment of such Committee be made by the Council on the
recommendation of the Public Health Committee, who shall consider
recommendations from the Tuberculosis Care Committee.
(3) That the Tuberculosis Care Committee be appointed annually.
(4) That casual vacancies caused by resignation or disqualification be filled
by the Committee on the recommendation of the Public Health Committee ;
and
(5) That the Public Health Committee shall have the power to declare vacant
the appointment of any member of the Tuberculosis Care Committee for
non-attendance at the meetings of the Committee for a period of three
months.
