ANNUAL REPORT. THE first REPORT is important as it is concerned with the laying of foundations and the building up of the structure of the Council's Health Programme. The latter half of 1924 was devoted to preparation and getting the goodwill and support of workers' organisations and in planning an intensive programme. The Scottish Trade Unions Congress Council made the way easier by approving of the Council's policy and programme, and by circularising its branches and favouring the Council's work. The programme proper began on January 22, 1925, and the printed list of engagements until the end of 1925 shows the extent of the ground covered. There is also included, for information, the programme until the end of March 1926. There has been a ready response on the part of the workers' organisations to take advantage of the Health Talks, and a generous readiness on the part of doctors to give their services gratuitously. To them the Council owes its hearty thanks. The quality of the health talk has been of a high standard. Many subjects dealing with occupational sicknesses and diseases, the care of the teeth, and matters relating to food and nutrition, have been spoken upon, and the keenness of the workers has been shown by the gratifying attendance, and the searching questions asked the doctors. For the period from January 22 to February 13, and from October 8 to December 31, 1925, 74 Health Talks have been given, and the number registered for the period from 1st January to 31st March, 1926, is 57, making in all 131 for Scotland. As the Council is comparatively new, the record of work so far is gratifying and promises to grow very large when the workers' organisations fully realise the value of the Health Talks. The Council has co-operated with the Dental Board of the United Kingdom in a propaganda on Teeth in Relation to Health, the Board supplying qualified speakers. The Council have given attention to the extension of the work in England, and meetings have been held with the Miners' Union in Northumberland, and the Miners' Association in Durham
