The number of visits paid by the Health Visitors was 380,
which is less than last year. The number may seem small, but
it must be remembered that the hours at which visits may be
paid to suit the convenience of working-class mothers is
limited and further, the details to be noted and recorded are
many. There must be no hurry if the observations are to be of
value. The aim is useful calls, and it is much better that the
time should be spent in additional visits to those homes where
all is not well, and particularly to the homes in the streets of
the worst part of the District.
