    SECTION G. Health Propaganda and Educational Work. As stated in my previous report, Education is an important function of the Health Services. During the year under review a great deal of attention has been paid to health propaganda. With the ready co-operation of Women’s Institutes, talks and lectures have been given in many districts by members of the Medical Staff. These talks were well attended, and in many In¬ stitutes arrangements have been made for a continuation series, covering several years. Useful educational work is also carried out by Medical Officers and Health Visitors at Schools and Welfare Centres. The following is a list of the external lectures given during the year by the medical staff. January TALKS AND LECTURES. 1936. Greens Norton W.I. W’omen Public Health Officers’ Association.
