(c) Health Talks to School Children. In November a
series of monthly talks to school children was arranged with
the co-operation of the Advisory Committee of School
Teachers. The series consists of five meetings and the place
of meeting is the Town Hall. The general arrangement is as
follows : a short talk (15-18 minutes) on a simple health
subject is given by an Assistant Medical Officer and then
three or four health films are shown. In the intervals between
the films, health songs, specially written by a member of the
staff, are shown on the screen and community singing is
indulged in. Prizes are given for the best essays on one of
the subjects dealt with. The details of the programme are
set out below. Two talks were given in 1928 and the remaining
