HEALTH OF CHILDREN
EARLY CARE URGED BY CABINET MEMBERS CIRCULAR ISSUED British Official Wireless Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Friday. A circular which has been issued by the Minister of Health, Mr. Arthur Greenwood, and the President of the Board of Education, Sir C. P. Trevelyan, urges more local authorities to use their powers to provide for the care of children before they reach school age. The circular points out that it is uneconomic to allow the health and stamina of infants to deteriorate till they are live years old, and then to spend large sums of money in trying to cure them between the ages of five and 15, when they come under the care of the school medical officers. The importance of providing maternity and child-welfare treatment, .and nursery schools for children aged from two to five, is emphasised.
