CANADIAN MOTHERCRAFT
In an address at tho Plunket Society Conference in Auckland on the mothercraft movement in Canada, Sirs. Irving Robertson mentioned that although it had taken many years to initiate, now that centres had been established in Toronto tho movement was rapidly gaining ground. At one centre where 50 visits a month had been paid in August, 1931, a total of 1000 visits had been made in August of this year. The society was receiving great support from the Government and also from municipal authorities. The infant death rate at the present time was very high throughout Canada, and there was a tremendous amount of scope for the society's work.
