JULY 12] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 997

THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL SECURITY IN NEW ZEALAND

A survey of social security in New Zealand from 1898 to 1949, and the most comprehensive work on the subject yet published in this country.

Of 180 pages, the book is divided into three parts—cash benefits, health benefits, and finance. Each subject is dealt with in detail and there is a comprehensive index.

The book will undoubtedly be of considerable interest to those interested in social security and social services, and will be especially valuable to University students.
