RUGBY, 6th December.
A circular issued by the Minister of Health and the President of the Board of Education urges more local authorities to use their powers to provide for the care of children before they reach the school age. The circular points out it is uneconomic to allow the health and stamina of infants to deteriorate till they are five years old, and then to spend large sums of money in trying to cure them between the ages of five and fifteen, when they come undqr the care of school medical officers. The importance- of providing maternity and child welfare treatment and nursery schools for children aged from two to live is emphasised.
