BABY BATHING AND MOTHERCRAFT DEMONSTRATIONS.
During 1938, 423 girls attended our clinics in parties of 15 to 30 from
the following schools:—
1. Lancasterian Girls.
2. Culvert Road Girls.
3. Risley Avenue Girls.
4. Parkhurst Road Girls.
5. Crowland Road Girls.
6. Downhills Girls.
The girls are most keen and the lessons are much enjoyed. The baby
is always a living model and as near perfect as possible. Not only are the
girls taught how to prepare and bath a baby, they are shown patterns
of ideal garments and instructed how to clothe and manage an infant.
