CHILD WELFARE
DOMINION'S FINE RECORD WORK AT HEALTH CAMPS" More than 20 health camp associations are now at the height of their seasonal activities in New Zealand on behalf of under-nourished or physically unfit children, and the opportunity to assist this valuable wftrk is approaching its close, as the health stamps will be withdrawn from sale in February. A tribute to the work of child welfare in tho Dominion was given recently by a well-known lecturer Mr. E. Fuller, who gave a series of lectures in England on what the world is doing for its children. "If civilisation can be measured by the degree of care which a nation takes of its children, then the most civilised country in the world is New Zealand," said Mr. Fuller in his opening talk, in which he also praised the Dominion for sharing its experiences with other nations which, without adequate means, wero beginning to wrestle with the problems of child welfare and infant mortality. "It is one of the happier incidents of recent international relations," Mr. Fuller said, "that the child welfare work in the Baltic States and in the eastern part of Czechoslovakia was started as the result of the gifts of the people of New Zealand about 15 or 16 years ago."
