TO SAVE MOTHERS
PLEA FOR MATERNITY HOMES The great need for more maternity homes was emphasised by Viscountess Erleigh, at a meeting at Wealdstone (England) of the Harrow and District War Memorial Maternity Hospital. “While progress has been made in other branches of infant work.’* she said, “the death rate of our mothers is still appallingly high, and one of the crying needs of England is the provision of more maternity homes. “To-day everyone is asking for a square deal. Surely the mothers of the nation should be given that square deal before we think of anything else.” Miss Margaret Bondfield, M.P., declared that no question was of such importance as the bringing to every mother of that knowledge and attention of nursing and medical care that would enable her to bring to the world a healthy child. To reach that stage they had still a long way to go. yet nothing that could be done toward it should be left undone.
