MOTHERHOOD OBSTETRIC ENDOWMENT FUND MANY MEETINGS CONVENED A largely attended meeting was held recently at Papatoetoe. when Lady Robertson and Airs. < \ E. Maguire gave addresses in the interests of the Obstetrical Endowment Appeal. A strong committee was set up with Airs. Bryant as president.

Dr. Buckley Turkirigton. in wellchosen words, expounded the need of a Chair of Obstetrics from the medical point of view, and Aliss Basten spoke of the practical side. In Miss Basten’s opinion it was very unfortunate that when launching the appeal no men had been invited to assist in the organisation and work. Alen were in-

terested in and very sympathetic toward the appeal, and a great number of them would have been prepared to give their time as well as money for such a worthy object. Airs. W. A.
