WELFARE WORK
VISITOR FROM ENGLAND
At present in Wellington is Miss Grace Gobby, a women's welfare worker .from England. Miss Gobby said that the women’s welfare workers in England were specially trained, and came under the jurisdiction of the diocesan authorities in the various counties. There was usually one such worker to a deanery in England, but perhaps that did not convey very much to people in New Zealand. Miss Gobby’s work in England was done latterly in Brighton. The marvellous growth of Brighton’s suburbs during the last five or six years was not all to the good, she said, for very charming villages had been wiped out in favour of modern bungalows. Those were to be seen on every hand; very little of the immediate country had been left unI spoiled by the hand of the speculative builder.
