MORE BABIES
Sir,-I was very much interested ‘in the article by "S.S." on Dr, Edith’ Summerskill. It expresses well what I've heard a lot of women try to- put into words. The majority of women in New Zealand with families are tied to the wash tub and home until. their families are grown up; it is not a question with them of bathing their babies and taking over their care to get the thrill of mothering them, We could all keep the cradles full if as- soon as our babies were born we could .hand them over to the care of an experienced "Nanny" in charge of a nursery, and feel our duty performed when we had gaily sailed in and kissed them goodnight. I think that Dame Edith Lyons, who at least knows from experience what mothers of iarge families have to go through, had more right to lecture us. This is not very ably expressed, but I have tried to put into words what. I’ve heard a lot of women in this of the
world say.-
