(1) N.S.P.C.C.—The District Inspector of this Society
helps us greatly in certain cases where we have been unable to
obtain necessary treatment for school children.
He reports that in the Brentford area he made 118 visits
to 21 homes and in the Chiswick area 61 visits to 17 homes.
He further states "that in general the children in these places
are very well cared for."

to give us willing help in all cases referred to them during the
year and we are grateful to them for their invariable courtesy
and promptness.
(3) The Brentford and Chiswick Philanthropic Societies.These
two Societies are always very willing to help children
recommended to them who are in need of extra nourishment or
clothing.
