    research into the problems of the causation of this group of diseases we are still limited to the one line of prevention, viz,, earlier diagnosis and earlier operation. The Council’s Maternity and Child Welfare Scheme has been extended in many directions and it would be impossible to exaggerate the benefits accruing from it. Its success is due in the first place to the keen attention to detail given by Dr. Jean R. Shaw and secondly to the splendid assistance rendered by the large band of voluntary lady workers. The responsibilities of the Public Health Department of your Council have grown enormously during recent years and they will probably increase fairly rapidly in the future. The sympathetic consideration of the very numerous details which it has been my duty to place l>efore your Committee from time to time have been greatly appreciated by my staff and myself and we desire to tender our joint thanks to you for the kindliness with which vou have always received our suggestions. I am, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, Yours obediently, MEREDITH YOUNG, County Medical Officer of Health. ^3, Foregate Street, Chester, September, 1920.
