Whether carriers of infectious dis i eases should he removed to an isolation hospital was a. subject introduced by the Mayor of Lower Hutt (Mr J. W. Andrews) at a. recent meeting of the council. Mr Andrews said he had received a protest ifroni a resident tbathe Health Department had refused to remove a carrier who had been responsible for infecting two persons with diphtheria. Mr Andrews said he had taken the matter up with the heahh officer, who had informed him • that it was not .usual to remove car-, riers. Against this attitude he had j protested, considering it a menace to all those coming in contact with the (Vvivfer. iNo ao ion had been taken until finally a. third contact had developed the disease.

Dr J. D. Salmond, the Director of

Youth Work for the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand is at present visiting Hokitikh. Dr Salmond has had a distinguished academic career, lie was early noted as a particularly sound student in history, economics and philosophy and on the completion of his university work quickly established a reputation as a teacher of history. Awarded the first Ross Fellowship of Otago University, Dr Salmond was enabled .to .continue research work in economics and take his degree of D.Pli. Still a young man, his interest was in the rising generation of New Zealanders, and to fit himself to serve them, Dr Salmond commenced a long course of travel and study. He spent several years in this way, his desire to become fully aquainted with the best in education and the trend of present development leading him to visit, and study in. the United States, England, Scotland, Germany and Russia. On li'is return to New Zealand Dr Salmond was appointed to the dual position of Pro- j fessor of Religious Education and Director of Youth Work in the Presbyterian Church. Those who know him best are convinced that Dr Salmond will play a considerable part in determining New Zealand thought, and'the members of St. Andrew’s congregation are singularly fortunate in having him to conduct next Sunday’s services.
