When the girls are due to leave the Home, situations are
found for them (usually domestic service), and if possible,
the mother takes the child with her; otherwise a foster
mother is found for the child. The Superintendent keeps in
touch with the girls after they have left, either by letters, or,
when they are near enough, by asking them to visit the
Home in their off.duty times. The duration of stay has
increased to six months as compared with 4½ months in 1920.
Nearly all the girls attended the Ante.natal Clinics of the
Borough Council.
A grant of £50 was made by the Council during the year
towards the funds of the Home.
