MOTHERCRAFT SOCIETY.

Princess Helena Victoria visited Cromwell House at tho conclusion of the annual meeting of the Mothercraft Training Society and made a tour of the wards. At the meeting itself Lady Galway, chairman of the committee, announced that the society was in a very enviable position. Tho balance-sheet showed that during the last year the income had doubled that of the previous year, and the expenditure had also doubled. Many other hospitals had shown increased expenditure, but few had shown an increase m receipts. Lady Galway also mentioned that Lady Allen was retiring from the committee. She bad shown a great interest in tho society all the time she had been in London. The annual report stated that tho work had grown considerably during the year. Larger premises made it possible to accept more students for training, increase in correspondence through the Woman's Pictorial had necessitated the engagement of a second narso secretary, while tho fact that the sale of New Zealand cream had exactly doubled itself during tho year showed that many more parents were following tho Truby King methods of feeding." '1 hanks to a generous grant of £2OO from the Daily Mirror Queen Alexandra Memorial Fund, a complete sun-light apparatus had been installed on the sun balcony, so that the babies now get the benefit of sunlight all tho year round. Dr. Murray Levick had taken great interest in the installation and had visited the hospital on several occasions to giro expert advice.
