PROTECTING INFANT LIFE.
BABIES' CO'iTAGE HOSPITAL NEEDED.
In the course of her report on the infant-life protection system the Wol-lington-.district agent (Jslrs.,E. S. Dick) urges the. necessity for establishing a cottage hospital.. "I. think," says Mrs.. Dick, "that a cottage hospital is urgently needed for babies who require careful nursing—indeed, whose, lives can only be saved by skilful treatment. I have, nothing but praise for the'behaviour of many women who have nursed children'back to health at the sacrifice of their own' health and comfort'; still, I am sure that' many babies';would be saved, by .being, admitted: to. a cottage hospital where' they. would , be. '.treated by.' the medical man.,appointed..by,the Department, and'nursed! by "a "woman whose sole, care they, would be, not b;« a woman with: all the work of ia chouse on her. hands, as.well;as the claims of. her husband and her-own children.'; If the parents .were, made .to pay for the children's,maintenance.in the hospital, the cost of the 'upkeep.''would'not bo so.. great. ■ : ' If- it were established vit would be an. excellent, place of. training for;.ou]\'receiving-Jioine girls after'they leave 5ch001.".,. ; .
