Women Police

A sergeant of police in an important suburban district had recently to invite tho secretary of the Society for tho Protection of Women and Children to help him in connection with a neglected home where it was foujid necessary to send tho mother to Pakatoa and take charge of a number of little children. The police officer has no J poltical views, but he knew instinctive-! ly that the right person to deal with the matter was a woman. This is only one of many, cases wheretho interests of women and children and tbo interests of the State would be vo p t served by having women police permanently attached to the police force. This is a long overdue reiorm so far as iuw Zealand is concerned, and it remains for the Women's Societies throughout- New Zealand to | bring such pressure to bear on Pajliamont as will induce the Minister to follow the lead of other countries in this matter.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 97.78%.
