INFANTILE PARALYSIS AND MILITARY CAMPS.
TO THE EDITOR OF "THE PRESS." sir a, father of a family I am pleased at the way the health authorities have taken such precautions to stop the dissemination of infantile paralysis by closing all schools, etc., but on Hba other hand T am greatly surprised and disgusted that the same authorities arc allowing our boys (a large number of whom arc in their teens, and, as events have proved, none is immune) to congrogato ab tho military camps, Trent-ham in particular being the concentration camp of units from all parts of IS'ew Zealand. I well remember during the influenza epidemic the large number that were ill and died there. I think it would bo wise for tho authorities to postpone the present arrangements until a later period. I wish to state emphatically that I am not against the training of our boys, but merely enter a protest against them being congregated together during a time of epidemic.— Yours, etc., ANXIOUS PARENT.
