  FOR THE CHILD. Welfare Work in S,vansea. HISTORIC DAY. I I Corporation Take Over Institutions. This week a nohJe pioneer effort on be- haii of the mothers and babies of Swan- sou reached an interesting stage. That which has hitherto been individual becomes a communal charge; for to-cav the Swansea Mothers and 'Babies' 'Yci- comc, School i.or Alothera and Crcche ht 4, Triuity-piaco, wete at the eighth «;j- nai moctmg formally presented by Lady Siond, the founder, to ex-Mayor Aid BCll Jones, for future aununisiration by the Swansea Corporation Maternity and Child Welfare Committee. Thus ends one period m the history cf an institution w hich has been a greater blessing to Swansea than it Knows, having undoubtedly saved many lives, and brought hope and happiness into a very large number of others, for eight years this modest but eminent-ly efficient institution has pursued witii un- varying fidelity its great objects of en- couraging tho Kacura.) feeding of Jll- fants, teaching'and advising mothers as to the care and upbringing of cheir J children. VALUABLE WORK. I This has been done by the supply o: choap, nourishing dinners to expectant and nursing.mothers, by inuividaai teaching for mothers on the iiuportauoo cf natural feeding and the care of their own and the children's health, medical inspection of infants week by week, and home visiting to see that the doctor's advice is understood and carried out. further developments of this uost useful Welcome have been the :ut- ing-out and sewing classes which were formerly conducted ou Monday after- noons by Miss Roven. These were lirsc I suspended owing to her ill-health, and then Ihially discontinued on account cf I a long influenza epidemic. Iniaat cojistilta-ciorb are held every Wednesday afternoon, and I)i-. is always in attendance. The number of cases on the register is 49J, and the attendances during last veal were 1,619. Virol and milk foods hio supplied when necessary, and the Medi- caJ Oxncer ad vises the supply of dinners to those who need them. The superintendent (Mrs. Ilorspool) has paid 903 visits to expectant ind nursing mothers. DENTAL CONSULTATIONS. I There are dental consultations ev^ry Friday afternoon, with Mr. Alabaster in attendance. This dental clinic, the hlst of its kind in Wales, has fuliy justih? its existence. It owed its inception to I the energy of Lady Mond, and it is thought and hoped that useful advice ha: been given to mothers, and 15ha-t se- ili and beneficent work has been done. MOTHERCRAFT CLASSES. I Mothercrait classes for elder school- girls continue to be held regularly on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday morn- ings These lessons are a real plea-sure to teachers and girls. The girls aie found to be wonderfully keen; the won;: 'rows the beet result and will bear fruit in incalculable benefit to the community in years to come. > ft Th" mothercraft examination was held in September last, and 70 girls from the different schools took part. The paper was falrly stiff, but answered very creditably by many of the girls. 1 he oral examination was conducted by Di. Edith Evans and Dr. Mary Ditchings in the following week, andthei examinars thought some of the girls did really well, especially five girls from Dyfatty School. Thuty-h?e prizes were given m War? Savings C?rtincates and stamps, and j eight special certincates given to girls r,-?o cid fairlY weU. LADY MOND AND THE TEACHERS. Lady Mond, in distributing the prizes, said some of the papers had been remark- I ably good, especially Dyfatty School. < She thought this was partly aue to the personal interest of the teachers; They seemed to realise the great necessity of  girls leammg the big essential things of life, and being equipped for the future I to be good wives and mothers.

Mrs. Horspool, after giving the an- nuai report, dckÍls oi whicn appear <'ujve,?.entouto describe in aa interesr- | ing manner how i^iuy Mond first be- eqj, U! po^SMaa^ut euiuo firai W eleorae of tue kmd ui the Jiiug- dom was started in London, and Lady Mond's visit resulted in her determina- tion to open such a home in some town where it might be required. Swansea fortunately was the town chosen. There were no Government gi Is in those days, and the pioneer work in this, as 111 so many other great movements, v ay done by voluntary workers. In this cas* too the effort had stimulated and catcd public opinion, and the pioueoiw bad received their reward III the recog- nition by the State of the work. The work so gi afrousiy started by Lady Mond eiglit and a nan years ago would now be carried on by the Corporation staff, in a manner that would be almost impossible by voluntary effort. It wn$ a gracious act on the part of the volun- tary workers to hand the scheme to the Corporation. Lady Mond, hey all trusted, would seu the tiny teCfJ she had nlanttvj srovv into a giant oak. I LADY MOND. I Lady Mond. who was heartily received, said she felt that that day was the crown- -in of her little effort of eight unci a half years ago. Mrs. liorspeol bad told them of her (Lady Moud's) first interest in the work. The school for mothers at llad- dmglon was the best ordered and managed in the country. At the time her (Lady Mond's) interest was first awakened m the work by Lady Aber- conway her husband sat for Chester, and she was travelling down to him. The in- terest of the Frenett nation in the work- | which preceded our own, was awakened by the fact that the birth rate was diminishing und the numbers of the French people decreasing. Those people who realised the danger started caring for the mothers, both tvhen the bubu*. were born and afterwards. The Roths- childs, who were pioneers in this work, g-llve free dinners every day to women who were going to have children, or who were nursing, and no questions were II asked of the recipients. HARMONIOUS WORKING. I Lady Mond went oil to thank those I ladies who had been working for her 111 I the scheme. They had had scarce a wrinkle m their roseleaf, (Applause.) Ail had worked well together, and now they had reaped the harvest. She agreed that the work should be taken up by Corporations, and made a national care. A new movement must always be started on a voluntary basis; they had often found that in this country. The Mayor had referred to our anxiety to preserve the lives of the children from the begin- ning, bnt they (at the Welcome) had tried to do that even before the child came into the world. The food of ex- pectant mothers and of nursing motherti was most important to the health of the child. They had realised the necossitv for good feeding at the V"; 'come, and had made it a rule never to charge the mothers more than throe half-pence for a meal. If the Corporation could possibly see their way to continue the dinners for mothers before, during. and after the birth of children, they would be thankful. This was not only good work, but very necessary work. But they also went further back in their little job, and got hold of the children be- fore they were mothers. Motherhood classes had been started and held in schools for girls between 14 and 15, and with most successful results. They did not agree with children learning secrets in the gutter; there were, in fact. no secrets in the beautiful things of life. They believed that good principles should be inculcated in the children before they entered married life. So she hooped that the motherhood classes would be kept on as well as the dinners. GROWTH OF THE MOVEMENT. I Their little seed had grown into a great cult tree. and they ought to congratulate themselves that though eight and a half years ago there was not such a thing as a Mothers' and &-ibiias, Welcome, now in Swansea alone they had seven. She felt as if their little effort had been more than crowned, and that each member of the committee would say the same thing. They really had helped, and had eon- verted Swansea to see with the same eyes as theirs about what it had been said was just one of Lady Mond's fads. (Laughter.) LADY MONO HANDS KEY OVER. I I havo great pleasure," said Lady Mond, in handing to you, Mr. Mayor, the key of- Trinity-place." It was in a splen- did condition. Miss Jarrett had worked with them all the time, and she supposed there was no institution in the whole of Swansea more nicely kept, cleaner, and better in every way than their Welcome in Trinity-place. They handed over all the furniture and the whole equipment, which had just been valued at 9311. 1,4bc, did not think that bad after eight and a half years wear and tear. Lady Mond also handed over details of the lease, and the valuation of furniture and equipment. She hoped great blessing would rest Vpon it, as had been the case during the past eight and a half years. THE MAYOR'S TRIBUTE. I me Mayor said that in accepting the key on behalf of the Corporation, he did it with full appreciation of the splendid work Lady Mond and the committee had carried on in the past. The Health Com- mittee, to his personal knowledge, were I very interested in this question. lie could not help emphasising also the im- portance of the work done during tha last eight and a, half years, especially the edu- cational value which bad enabled the Corporation to take it up. He felt sure that many of the things which had been carried out would be continued by the Health Gonun it tee and be developed, prob- ably on larger lines. Dr. Holdan, in proposing a vote of thanks to Lady Mond, said he could not, emphasise too strongly the splendid pioneer work of those ladies who had con- ducted this work so long that it was now comparatively easy to take it up. In the pa,st, public health work usually began when death took place, now they were starting at the right point. This would now be carried on with the best ability and a fuller staff, and under the best conditions. Mrs. John Williams seconded. Mrs. I)d. Harris supporting, said they all owed a great debt to Lady Mond. WILLING HELPERS I I Lady Mond, in responding, said the work W-ouki ntiret, have been done but for those who had helped her. Splendid workers they had been. She referred es- pecially to the help of Mrs. Horspool, and said phe shcnM not have been able to do anything but for her skill and unfailing fortitude. The ladies of the committee would join with her in thanking Mrs. Horspool. She also thanked Mrs. Jarrett and ladies of the oomtnittee. Mrs. M. B. Williams, proposing thanks to the Mayor, also hoped that the dinners and mothercraft classes would be con- tinued. Mrs. S. Davies seconded, and the vote was heartily carried. Tea, was afterwards served.

She, therefore, spoke in the liquid syllables used by Mrs. Ilemans when quot- ing Taliesin's prophecy, by Sir Walter Soctt when describing the Norman's de- feat at Caerphilly, and by Gray in sing- ing of the Welsh bard as he chanted o'er Conway's foaming flood Lady Mond dedare.d she w o-uld like to become a member of the Cymrodorion Society, and hoped to be privileged to at- tend the function at Dolgoy next year.

WELSti RURAL LORE
WELSti RURAL LORE Interesting Education! Interest i n,g E d uca t -(t-"7?- l Experiment. The Welsh Department of the Board of Education are about to initiate an interes- ting educational experiment. Recognising that the education given in school is apt to be too dependent on printed textbooks without any reference to the soocial fea- tures of the locality, and taking no ac- count of the traditions and environment of a Welsh country child, the Depart- ment propose* to assist local authorities to correct somo of these tendencies by a carefully prepared and comprehensive scheme with a number of strikingly original features. LOCAL KNOWLEDGE. The idea is to adapt and utilise to the fullest possible extent local knowledge and local lor in familiar fields. To much valuable information relating to local history ftnd geography teachers and pupils between them have direct access. Hence it is proposed that the experiment should begin with the collection and tabulation of the local field and place names in the parish or parishes iu whieh I r PR2. ir?s in W I ] i cil the school is situate. Bnr provision is AISQ, made for the gathering together of other interesting information of a his- torical or traditional character bearing on life in the district. Those materials, when collected will be tabulated with the aid of a 6-inch ordnance map, copies of which will be supplied free to all schools taking part in the experiment. The re- cord. when complete, should form a kind of local Domesday Book to be deposited ultimately, in the National Library of Wales, a duplicate being retained for use in the school. APPROVED BY EXPERTS. I The scheme is approved by some of the leading experts in connection with the teaching of Geography and History in this country. The Committee of the National Eisteddfod of Wales are so fln- pressed with the value and importance of the scheme, that they have decided to I offer a prize of E25 in futhering it. This sum will be awarded in prizes (consisting of books for the School Library) to the schools in Wales which send in the best collections. The expense of putting the scheme in operation throughout Wales will not full on the public: the requisite funds have been raised privately by the Permanent Secretary of the Welsh Department (Sir I Alfred Davies) to whom the scheme oweS its origin." The Welsh Department announce that a pamphlet, explaining the scheme, has been placed on sale. Ap- plications for copies, accompan ied by fourpence in stamps, shonld be addressed to Sir Alfred T. Davies. K.B.E., C.B., at the Board of Education, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, S.W. 7., the envelope being marked on the outside Rural Lore Scheme." The pamphlet will be supplied gratis to all schools in Wales desirous of taking part in the experiment, but application in such-cases for a copy should be made by Head Teachers ot Elementary Schools through the local education authority.
