Children of the State.
A well-attended meeting was held in the Alexandra Hall, Christchurch, on May Bth, to consider the question of the treiitment of State children.
Mrs S. Page, president of the Canterbury Women’s Institute, presided, and the speakers were MesdamesCunnington and Wells, and Messrs T. E. Taylor, H. G. Ell, and G. Laurenson, M.H.Rs., and Mi H. A. Atkinsoo.
A number of lesolutions were passed, the trend of which was that in the opinion of the meeting more adequate provision should be made for these wards of the State ; that there should lie a State council for children, composed of men and women, w ith a local council in each of the large centres; and that the children should be classified, so as to prevent contamination, and also so that the mentally weak and deficient may receive proper treatment.
