THE B.M.A.
CENTENARY DINNER. PRINCE OF WALES AS GUEST OF HONOUR. London, July 29. ' The Prince of Wales was the guest of honour at the centenary dinner of the Medical Association, one of the largest ever held in London, 2000 guests being present at the Albert Hall. The Prince emphasised the Imperial aspects of the association’s work, and said that it was encouraging to think how many overseas members were present.
Dr. Newland, as president of ths Australian and New Zealand College of Surgeons, responded on behalf of the guests.
To-day’s general discussion at the Medical Association’s meeting was largely devoted to the characteristics and management of post-war children.
Dr. C. H. Blakiston, In a startling criticism of the modern boy, said that by comparison with the boy of 30 years ago he was timid, untruthful and dishonest. He expects to be taken everywhere. Above all, he fears loneliness and boredom, and consequently the old spirit of adventure has been . destroyed. The war had a definite result on those who were infants in 1914-18, consequently there are a larger number of young people who work feebly and play feebly. Dr. W. H. Simpson (Wellington) read a striking paper on sub-scleral injections, which is a new operation for the detachment of the retina and likely to replace existing methods.
