"It has been aa absolute principle of the Society that the services of the nurses should be free, and that people should not be urged to join or contribute at all," said Sir Truby King when speaking at tho annual conference of the •Plunkct Society, says the "Dominion." Ho waa referring to a remit from the Getaldine branch, that parents receiving the help of the-. Plunkct nurses should become members of the Society except in necessitous .cases. ''Year by year," he continued, "there has been a suggestion gradually accumulating in force that we should induce more mothers to appreciate the fact that they are receiving a very gieat .benefit and that at least they should, join the Society. Mrs Barker, the mover of the resolution,, has stated that out of 132 mothers visited bv the nurses, only 12' were members. Only 12 women had contributed 5s for. tlie enormous benefits they -received. I think'it is a very excellent* suggestion, from Geraldine.
