Crèches have been established in several districts with a staff of nurses and a doctor. in attendance, at which working mothers may leave their children during the day.

Mra Quezon said that, unfortu- nately, the better off mothers did not on the whole take much interest in this welfare work, but she felt confident that they would do so in the pear future, and take advantage of the lectures given in the Crèches The women's moyement in all its aspects is, according to Mrs Quezon, very much in its infancy in the Filipines but she felt that an
