THE PLUNKET SOCIETY
DR TEUBY KING TO GO TO ENGLAND. . lieference to tho offer made to Dr. Truby King to proceed to London in connection with the Marlborouab School of Motherhood, was made in the House of Eepresentatives'yesterday by. the Hon. K. Heaton Rhodes. Surely, lie said, this was a great tribute to tlie work Dr. King hud done in this country in connection with the saving of babies. He asked tho Minister of Public Health if he had decided to let Dr. King go to England. The Hon. G. W: Eussell stated that, Dr. King had arrived in Wellington a day or two before for the purpose of discussing the matter. Dr. King had no desire whatever to permanently disassociate himself from New Zealand, nor to sever his connection with Sencliff Mental Hospital. He hoped, if he could be spared for twelve or eighteen months, probably the latter period, to be able to put the Phinket Society work on a firm basis in' England. At the end of eighteen months he would return to New Zealand and resume his work at Seacliff, and also carry on the work of the Plunket Society. The Minister said he asked Dr. King to submit details of the proposals in his mind in order that they might be placed before Cabinet for consideration.
