Mr. Robertson makes a strong and moving plea for the more enlightened treatment of the young child in hospital, and makes it quite clear that daily visiting is not enough. There should also be more units where mothers could be admitted with young children. In long-stay hospitals one nurse should be assigned to a small group of children to act as a mother substitute. Some enlightened hospitals have already put some of these ideas into practice and this should encourage others to follow suit, g Soldi. B. Soldi.
