    Students attending the Winter School of the Women’s Sanitary Inspectors’ and Health Visitors’ Association visited the Welfare Centres and the Creche 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 Creche 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.
