‘HOME TRAINING FOR PROBLEM FAMILIES’

There was need for a home where problem families could be taken for a period and taught housekeeping, cooking and child care, said the health inspector (Mr C. W. L. Fair- ' hall), in a report to the Paparua County Council at its i monthly meeting. i Mr Fairhall said that at the request of the Child Welfare ’ Department, he had inspected ! a “very dirty” house at Horn- 1 by. i While an attempt had been i made to clean it up, the i children’s bedroom had not been cleaned, and the floor I was liberally coated with i scraps of bread. ,

Mattresses on two single beds were in poor order, and no attempt had been made to dry them from bed-wetting. There were old coats on the beds, and no evidence of sheets or blankets. The bath was being used as a lavatory. Mr Fairhall said that the type of training home he had suggested was conducted by the Salvation Army in Britain, and the Child Welfare Department might be prepared to do similar work in New Zealand. The council asked Mr Fairhall to report on any further action that could be taken to overcome the problem.
