PLUNKET SOCIETY.
TO THE EDITOR. Six', —“ Taxpayer’s ” somewhat trenchant criticism of my recent letter to your columns regarding the unfortunate state of affairs in the Plunket Society aroused my interest. After some days’ .thought I have come to the conclusion that perhaps “ Taxpayer ” is nearer the truth of the matter than I at first thought him—or her —to be, and that in the interests of infant welfare.it is not right that Miss Pattrick’s services should be lost to the dominion because of the high-handed action of a small minority of the Plunket Council—not, at any rate, until she has imparted some of her unique knowledge to a successor. It is therefore to be hoped—indeed, it may be expected—that the large majority of the members who are to meet in February will place the welfare of a world-famed work as an easy first, and the ruffled vanity of the minority as a very poor second.—l am, etc., Cricket. January 19.
