“Farmers might as well stop dreaming of increased production from the land, for iP their own species were to die out who would receive the heritage of their work?” asked Dr Doris Gordon in an address to the annual meeting of the Central Taranaki executive of the Women’s Division of the Farmers’ Union at Stratford on the necessity for a home where the art of mothercraft could be taught and where mothers could leave their children during confinements or while they took a holiday. Highway boards should stop buildimg broader and better roads, borough councils and town boards should close down on all expenditure on better civic buildings, and political parties should plan how to conserve rather than how to expand, she said. Their plans and their schemes were of no value if there was to be no provision for a continuation of a healthier and more virile race.
