TIRED MOTHERS.
"HARDEST WORKERS IN N.Z." NO EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR THEM. WILL PARLIAMENT OBLIGE? tSy Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) CHRISTCHURCH. this day. ''New Zealand impresses me as a lan<l of healthy children and tired mothers," said Colonel Dawson, in speaking at the annual meeting of the Plunset Society. '*Xcw Zealand is a children's paradise. and we now have the satisfaction of knowing that the infant mortality in the Dominion is the lowest in the world." This satisfactory position, he added, was largely due to the work of the PlunkeT Society, and New Zealand was now regarded as the leader of the world in these matters.
Referring to the tired mothers, Colonel Dawson said that he was Mire that no one worked harder in New Zealand than the mothers. Our legislators had provided an eight-hour day for nurse?, and shorter hours, chairs, and rest rooms for shop assistants, but little had been done to help the mothers, though the establishment of maternity hospitals in the country was a step in the right direction.
