LOSERS IN LIFE’S BATTLES
HELPING ENGLAND’S POOR. Special to tho ‘‘Times.” DUNEDIN. January 25. Dr Emily H. Siedoberg, who returned to Dunedin rccentlydrom a tour of the Old Country, made special endeavour during her short stay in London to discover what' methods tho Government and organised social bodies adopted to help deserted wives, tho children of drunken parents, and generally tho unfortunate who are fighting a losing battle against life. She found that tho Government appeared to take little interest in the poorer people, most of the social being undertaken by private people and semi-private societies. In July io attended, as the New Zealand delegate, the conference of tho Eugenics Education Society at which many of tho most eminent scientists in the. world wore present. Eugenics, she says. is treated in the Old World purely as a scientific subject and engages the interested attention of tho most eminent men.
