Mrs. Dane, Danish-born but now a British subject. is expert treating bomb-shocked chi,dren and also at preventing this ner- vous trouble. At first it may be a little alarming to watch her at work. She will pick up a naked four months' old baby by

Dr. Edith Summerskill, M.P., told a representa- tive of "The Observer" that the Government should provide for these pre-school children throughout the country similar modern care to that made avail- able in a number of blitzed" areas.

There consideration is given to mothers with children under school age who have to remain

at home to look after their hus- bands in dockyards and other national work but who want to send their children. away from the cities.

They have no special knowledge of how to look aftor young children. "In those districts where the system of farming out young chil- dren with 'minders' exists to-day, the incidence of rickets is excep- tionally high. The system, in fact, is as out-of-date as the old work-

many excellent women in

the country who are capable of look- ing after children well, but these are not

the women who are

necessarily always

ready to taken on the extra responsibility of hav- ing a small child in their house- hold. The register which will be compiled for the 'minder system will be of women who are chiefly anxious to augment their income and who will be able to do this by having a child in the house- hold.

"The women will not necessari. ly be well versed in what con- stitutes a balanced diet, will they have a special knowledge child welfare. In these modern days, when the State spends mil- lions of pounds on child welfare services and on propaganda. In order to teach mothers the best methods of feeding and caring for their children, we should provide only the

best care for children under five who are either evacuat- ed from their parents or who are cared for outside their homes be- cause their mothers are engaged in industry."

A

"There should be co-ordination between the. Departments of Health Education, and Labour, in order that these children should be cared for either in nursery centres, or creches, where they will be fed and looked after by experts.

The 'minder' system is out of date, and it is deplorable that it should have been revived in these modern days."
