Miss Middlebrooke describes the nature of her work as
follows:—
Satisfactory results have been obtained from the continued
supervision of the registered houses. Great improvement has
been noticed in the state of the bedding, etc. in some of the
houses. There has been less tendency to overcrowd the
rooms, and efforts are made to separate the older children of
different sexes.
