The total attendances at the Centre show a slight
decrease compared with previous years, but this is due to
better spacing of the attendances by older children. The
number of first attendances has shown a steady increase
during the past three years, and the number for 1936 is the
largest on our records. The number of children attending
in 1936 is the largest number of individual children who
have attended the Centre in one year. Although Teddington
has not had the advantage of a modern scientifically
equipped Clinic, the mothers have co-operated willingly
and happily in making the best of existing facilities. The
physique of the children generally is good, and I have
noticed particularly the low incidence of rickets and
impetigo.
The Teddmgton Rotary Club continued their good
work of previous years by providing funds for sending
away two mothers and two children for convalescent treatment.
This generosity was much appreciated and of
practical value.
