GOITRE.
SURVEY OF N.Z. SCHOOLS. (special to "the peess.") AUCKLAND, October 7. After five years of investigation to determine the incidence of goitre among New Zealand school children, a final'survey of the schools is now being made by Dr. Baker McLaglan, and an officer of the Division of School Hygiene at Christchurch, who will v'sit Auckland schools during the nex& few weeks. Although she has not yet worked out the exact percentages, Dr. McLaglan is of opinion that the schools in Taranaki, Horowhenua, Levin, and Otaki, are extraordinarily free from goitre. The Auckland figures huvo not vet been compiled, but it is generally admitted that the incidence in Auckland itself, and in North Auckland, is low.
