RESEARCH INTO MONGOLISM
Parents To Start Fund
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 29. A fund for research into mongolism will be set up by the Intellectually Handicapped Children’s Parents’ Association. The association’s annual conference in Wellington today decided on the fund so that the research work begun at Fountain Hospital in England by Dr. H. Bourne could be continued.
Dr. Bourne, now at the Otago University Medical School, has offered facilities and his notes for a graduate to complete the work.
Dr. Bourne thought the completion would take about 12 months, said Mr R. W. S. Botting, the association’s president. The association also decided to send a medical practitioner overseas to study the latest methods in the treatment of intellectually handicapped children. Dr. Donald Beasley, of Whangarei, was chosen to undertake the mission.
