CHILD WELFARE IN NEW ZEALAND
MR JORDAN DESCRIBES WORK AT GENEVA LONDON, October 2. The Geneva correspondent of the Associated Press says that at the inaugural meeting of the council held in the magnificent new chamber the New Zealand High Commissioner (Mr W. J. Jordan) declared that it was most happy that New Zealand’s accession to the council coincided with such an important occasion. He was conscious of a great responsibility. It would be especially hard to follow in the footsteps of Australia. The Fifth Committee began, a study of child welfare, and listened with close attention to Mr Jordan’s account of New Zealand’s extensive work in the field. While commending the services for improving the lot of the minority of children who came before the courts and other public authorities, Mr Jordan made a strong plea for attention to the requirements of the normal child, especially in rural districts. MR JORDAN HONOURED LONDON, October 2, The Council of Ramsgate. Mr Jordan’s birthplace, has decided to confer on him the freedom of the city.
