CHILD WELFARE IN SAMOA
GRATIFYING RESULTS INCREASE IN POPULATION. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, November 30. “I expect the figures this year to be if anything better than those of last year, which was the best year we have liacl in Samoa,” stated Dr T. It. Ritchie, chief medical officer at Samoa, who was a passenger by the Tofua. He stated the work of improving the health of the natives was going ahead very rapidly. The natural increase among natives for tho first nine months of this year was 930. In a population of 38,000 these figures, even covering a year, wore very gratifying. Excellent work was being done in child welfare, and this undoubtedly had something to do with the improved birth rate.
