C.—Talks to School Children.
This was a feature which was introduced into a Stepney Health Week
for the first time.
It was a huge success and the talks were very much appreciated by
both children and teachers.
It was possible to cater only for certain children over the age of 13
years owing to the limited time at our disposal.
Unfortunately, it was impossible, owing to half-term holidays in the
schools, to arrange for a proper representation from all schools in the Borough.
The talks were attended by 915 children, and I wish to pay a special
tribute to Mr. Lellow for the care and attention he gave to the very intricate
problem of arranging parties of children from all over the Borough, not only
to meet at the proper time at the Art Gallery, but to pass from stall to stall
in a properly organised manner.
Talks were given at the following stalls:—
General Sanitation—by the Sanitary Inspectors.
Food Inspection—by the Food Inspectors.
Pestology—by the Specialist Inspectors.
Maternity and Child Welfare—by the Health Visitors.
Dental Hygiene—by an expert from the Dental Board.
After the talks a short time was given to each party of children to have a
further look at the various exhibits.
D.—Cooking Demonstrations.
These were given each afternoon in the upper hall by Miss Lees of the
National Milk Publicity Council.
The attendances reached only 220 persons, but Miss Lees considered that
though few in number they were very keen and that the demonstration
had served a very useful purpose.
