    slides to be used to support talks on the work of the Service. Further reference to this type of visual aid will be found in the section on the Emily Fortey School. Other slides have been made of items to be used for reference and record purposes. Publicity Copies of the Health Services booklet have been circulated during the year, but as some of the material is now out of date a new edition is in course of preparation. Copies of the booklet “Better Health” have been circulated monthly. Slogans on the bus cards have been changed every fortnight and this means of publicity is still considered to be most widely read. Visitors Following talks given to domestic science students and students at the Teachers’ Training College, many of the students have visited the office to collect leaflets, posters, etc. and to obtain more information on the display materials which are available on loan. Many requests have also been received from teachers for information on visual aids and materials (posters, etc.) to assist in health education projects in their schools.
