WELFARE OF WOMEN.

DR. TRUBY KING'S WORK.

ARRIVAL IN AUSTRALIA.

fFROM OUR OWN

SYDNEY, Dec. 4.

Dr. Truby King, the New Zealander who has become well known as a specialist on the welfare of women and children, landed in Adelaide from the Morea on Thursday, November 27. He is to deliver addresses at Adelaide and Melbourne, and he, will arrive in Sydney on December 16, where he will be the guest of the State Government.

The work of Dr. Truby King is being commented upon by the newspapers here. A reminder is given that both Britain and the United States have noted the work of the Plunket nursing scheme in New Zealand as something unique and almost ideal. It appears likely that the Dominion's scheme will be adopted throughout the English-speaking world. . The great and powerful organisation, the Red Cross Society of the United States, has virtually adopted the little doctor's theory and system. The doctor is accompanied by Mrs. and Miss King. Both ladies have been engaged in various departments of war work in England since 1918. Dr. Truby King has been performing notable service among the munition women in Britain, and the result of his investigations and conclusions forms part of one of his interesting addresses.

The Sydney programme already arranged for Dr and Mrs. Truby King include a reception in the King's Hall, two lectures, a conference, various visits of inspection to the various local institutions, and several excursions. Dr. King and his party leave for Queensland on December 20.
