Dr Hoeken said he was glad to note that tho trouble regarding the students ami the St. Helens Hospital was in a fair way to he got over. The Premier had intimated that permission and assistance would bs-given to convert the disused Women's Refuge into a maternity home iu wliich students could be admitted. As they had got so far, it seemed to him that they might with advantage approach the hospital authorities and see if Ihe Home could not be established at the hospital. The place proposed was some distance away, and it would be awkward for students and professors to be constantly going* that, distance to axd fro. It v.'ould be perfectly reasonable to propose the erection of a midwifery ward at the hospital.—Dr Church said he certainly thought the Council might ai)proach the Charitable Aid Board, because he understood that this new Home was to be started for the accommodation of single women. Mr Seddon would not allow single girls to be admitted to tha St. Helens Hospital. It would never do for the Council to clash with the Charitable Aid Board in any way. He thought it would bo m well to set up a sub-conmitteo to meet, tho Board and talk the matter over.—T>r Hoeken said that, to save tim<\ the- Council mifjht confide that duty to the present sub-committee, which consisted of 7>r Church and himself. —This was agreed
