The French Government has bestowed the premier decoration for women, The Reconnaissance Française, upon Miss Ettie Rout, of the New Zealand Volunteer Sisters, "for work done during the war (as head of Anzac Soldiers' Club in Paris), and in 1919-1920 as head of American Red Cross Depôt and Canteen at Villers-Bretonneux, where she helped a great many French soldiers, and rendered precious service to the civilian population of the commune." The War Office also conveyed thanks to Miss Rout "for gallant and distinguished services in the field." "I have it in command from the King," wrote the Secretary of State for War, on 1st March, 1919, "to record His Majesty's high appreciation of the services rendered."
PREFACE.
It affords me great pleasure to write a short preface to this book, sinceit deals with a matter in which I (in common with all those who areintensely interested in the health of our race) am glad to take an activepart.
To no woman has it been permitted to do the same amount of good, and tosave more misery and suffering, both during and after the war, than toMiss Ettie Rout. Her superhuman energy and indomitable perseveranceenabled her to perform, in the most efficient manner possible, a workwhich few women would care to handle, and of which but an infinitesimallysmall number are capable. The French Government fully recognised the greatservices she rendered to the Allies, and did her honour. The book she haswritten is one of very great value, in that its object is the Health,Happiness, Morality and Well-being of the Community.
Not only has Miss Ettie Rout the qualities that characterise all greathumanitarians, but she also possesses, in a unique degree, an intimateknowledge of the terrible troubles that arise from irregular intercourse,and of the manner in which they can be reduced and perhaps eliminated.
In this book she deals with such simple hygienic measures as are littleknown in Englan
