HELP FOR MOTHERS
Sta,—So many cdrrespondents and public men assume that the greatest inducement to having larger families is a series of business and residential' schools wherein the mother delightedly disposes of her offspring . in order to produce another. Surely, ensuring that the now overworked mother can enjoy her own children around her in her own home would be a greater inducement. Why not a nation-wide system of home-helps, with priority for the mother with young children at the time she most needs it—the later months of pregnancy and first year of the baby's life. Which of us has not sought in vain for domestic help at these particular times, with the inevitable reply: "We wouldn't go where there are small children, they make so much work."—Yours faithfully,
