Students attending the Winter School of the Women's Sanitary
Inspectors' and Health Visitors' Association visited the Welfare Centres
and the Crèche in January, and about 50 members in July from the
Summer School organised by the National Baby Week Council.
Special groups of students attending Mothercraft Classes visited the
Centres and Crèche from Greystoke and St. Katherine's Training Colleges,
and from West Green, Stamford Hill, Coleraine Park and Downhills
Council Schools. A demonstration lesson to the elder girls was given by
the Superintendent Health Visitor at Downhills and Coleraine Park
Schools.
The mothers attending the Bruce Castle Centre presented the Centre
with an oak, overstrung, upright piano. (The Chestnuts Centre mothers
made a like addition at their Centre in the previous year).
The Mothers' Social Clubs at the Chestnuts and Bruce Castle continue
to prosper.
The work of the year is set out in detail in the following pages.
For the encouragement given to the staff by your Committee, I
desire to express sincere thanks. The enthusiasm with which the Members
of the Committee entered into the activities of the Department has been
an inspiration to all actively engaged in it.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
Medical Officer of Health.
