MENTAL DEFECTIVES BILL.
Mrs. C. C. Jackson, Dominion president of the women's division of the Farmers' Union, when speaking yesterday before the gathering which formed a city branch, mentioned the position of the Mental Defectives Bill. She read the two clauses which had been deleted by the House of Representatives, and said that the matter was to be brought again before the House, as it was vital to the health of the nation. They wished to have the two clauses reinstated, and they were going to send a woman who knew the subject thoroughly to support the Government. If this was not enough, they were going to hold meetings in every district, and bring the matter fully before the women of New Zealand. Mrs. Jackson expressed regret that the purity of the pioneer stock had been allowed to deteriorate, and reiterated that it was their intention to go on with the Mental Defectives Bill.
