PLUNKET SOCIETY
WORK PRAISED BY MINISTER. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “A short time ago we nearly had a very regrettable controversy about the Plunket method of feeding,” said the Minister of Health, the Hon P. Fraser, when speaking at the opening of the annual general meeting of the Federation of Women’s Institutes in the Wellington Town Hall yesterday. “Fortunately on that occasion all concerned, including the officers of the Plunket Society, showed a breadth of mind that was very encouraging indeed. “The work of the Plunket Society has been the principal agent in reducing the infantile death rate of this country,” he said. “That work will still go on, and will increase in the future.” Mr Fraser paid a tribute to the founder of the Plunket Society, the late Sir Truby King. Probably no single individual had done so much for the children not only of New Zealand but of the world, he said.
