SUNSHINE SCHOOL

TREATMENT OF DELICATE CHILDREN PROJECT IN AUCKLAND The beneficial and curative effect of sunshine will be combined with medical treatment for delicate and convalescent children from any school or hospital near Auckland in the sunshine school and solarium to be erected in Nelson Street. A strong supporter of the project is the Minister of Health, the lion. A. J. Stallworthy, who addresesd the women’s auxiliary of the Sunshine Community Association yesterday. Expressing pleasure with the humanitarian work the association was prosecuting, Mr. Stallworthy said he believed that the institution would beneficially affect the mental, moral and physical health of future generations. The .association, of which he was pleased to have been a member, was blazing the trail for the whole of New Zealand. The modernly designed building, he said, would be constructed in wood at an estimated cost of £20,000. Classrooms and rest-rooms would be provided on the ground floor, and the roof would be a solarium. Treatment of the patients would be subject to strict medical supervision,, and it was hoped that the full-time sfecvices of a qualified nurse and a schoolteacher would be provided to superintend the health and education of the children. The plans had been approved by a medico who has spent much time in studying tlij© sanitorium and methods of Dr. Rollier, the Swiss expert.
