She has been engaged by the Government to go round New Zealand with .him, speaking and demonstrating on the subject ‘How to liye well and keep well.’ Dr Truby King and Miss Patterson have just spent a most interesting week in Masterton, lecturing to hundreds of people, and getting in touch with schools, both private and public, and talking to pupils as well as teachers. After the Medical Conference they will set out for Southland. After visiting all princpal centimes there and in Otago, also Oamaru, Waimate, Tiniaru, Christchurch and all other centres in Canterbury, they will proceed to the West Coast and thence to Nelson and Blenheim, and Picton. They will stay some months in all in the South Tsland, and then make a similar tour of the North Tsland.” The Minister added that he was very anxious to obtain the sympathy and support of school teachers and school doctors in the different centres for the campaign.
