That the Duke of A’(irk had good reason to remark upon the sturdy ap- • car,-i nee and happy lace- ol the children of New Zealand is the opinion , C |lr G. .1. lilac knmre. General Superintendent of Tuberculosis Institutions. |!e on Wednesday that too childi-oo compared more tlinn favourable with those of any other country

in the world, from tho point of view ol appearance and health. " Ihe Duke'S new proverb to ’ take care ol the children, and the country will take care of itself.’ is absolutely true.” remarked Dr Blackmon*. "Speaking pni-olv front a health point of view, a nation to be healthy must begin with its children. Get them thoroughly j as children and they will grow np to 1,0 healthy men and women, whose mental and spiritual outlook will be brightened by their good health. There should be a sound lmiiil in a sound body, and while some people have arisen above their physical disn- . there is little doubt that they would have climbed still higher had 11,cv had bodily health.”
