The secretary said that a visit was made to the island recently by Sir Frederick Menzies, one of the chief health officers in London, in company with Dr. T. J. Hughes, of the Health Department, and Sir Frederick was much impressed by the work being done for children by the association. He thought that there was no better work being done anywhere.
