ILL-NOURISHED CHILDREN
INCREASE NOTED IN OTAGO MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT [BT TELEGRATH OWN CORRESPONDENT] DUNEDIN, Thursday The subject of malnutrition among children is referred to by Dr. Grace Stevenson, medical officer of schools in Otago, in the course of her annual report. "So much has been said in previous reports concerning the malnutrition among young children and the methods to combat it, that one hesitates to make free statements," says Dr. Stevenson. "All I can add is that my figures over tho period for the year 1934 and the year 1935 now show a definite increase in the conditions of sub-normal nutrition and malnutrition."
