financial interests seem to come into conflict, and some
individuals cannot get away from the near view, but
the wider outlook is the general one, and should in

The Maternity and Child Welfare Centres.
There are three Maternity and Child Welfare
Centres in Fulham distributed over the Borough, at
Greyhound Road, 170, Wandsworth Bridge Road,
and Melmoth Hall, Eustace Road.
In addition to my own full-time service, Dr. G. F.
Hardy, Assistant Tuberculosis Officer, takes certain
Clinics each week, and there are three part-time medical
officers, Dr. Florence M. Wilson, Dr. Lily Butler, and
Dr. Dorothy Leverkus.
The Clinic sessions are arranged as follows:—
1. For Nursing Mothers and Children up to five years of age.
2. For Children between the ages of two years and five years
(the Toddlers' Clinic).
3. For Expectant Mothers.
The most satisfactory method of Infant Welfare
work is to consider the mother and all her children up
to school age together. There are, however, in Fulham,
many children between the ages of two and five years
who have never attended any Clinic, and it is found to
be more convenient for such mothers to bring these
children to a special Toddlers' Clinic, when the mother
is not already attending at an Infant Clinic with a
younger child. These Toddlers' Clinics are held weekly
at Greyhound Road by Dr. Lily Butler, and at Wands
worth Bridge Road by Dr. L. Johnson, the latter a
voluntary worker. The following figures include those
of toddlers attending Dr. Johnson's Clinic, not formerly
returned by the Voluntary Committee:—
Sessions 95
Children attending 128
Attendances 718
