WORK OF TWENTY YEARS TRIBUTES TO SIR TRUBY KING (From Our Resident Correspondent .) WELLINGTON, Monday. During next year the Royal Society tor the Health of Women and Children will attain its majority, and officially come of age. It is now 20 years since the inception of the Society by Sir Truby King, with one nurse and one branch; and now 60 branches, with 100 nurses, flourish in different parts of the country. , Sir Truby King received congratulations at the annual meeting of the Wellington association to-night, when Sir James Allen related personal experience of tributes coming from England, America and Canada. “Even in Geneva,” he added, “we hear whispers of the wonderful work being done by Sir Truby King with this society.” The Hon. J. A. Young, Minister of Health, attributed much of the success of 20 years’ work to Sir Truby King and Lady King. Mr. G. A. Troup. Mayor, said the activities of this society were the best advertisement which this country could ever receive, and far more effective than any carefully-planned publicity campaign.
