NEWS AND NOTES.
“The worst cases of malnutrition,” said Dr. Ada Paterson, in the course of an address delivered before the Otago Educational Institute a few days ago, “conic as a rule either from slum areas in town or from remote districts in the country. It is a popular fiction that a country child is necessarily possessed of superior advantages. Among the struggling population of the backblocks, houses are often poor and cramped, with sanitation nonexistent, and the food is monotonous in character and hurriedly or badly cooked. In dairying districts children often are employed .early and late milking. They may travel a long distance to school after a scanty breakfast, exist throughout the day on a scanty lunch brought with them, and go home in the evening to the one substantial meal of the day. ”
