Best Way to Bring About Reduction
Of Infant MOrtality-Advice OF
Eminent Physician.

New Haven, Conn. Nov l3-The
concluding session of the conference
on infant mortality was held here
last night a large number of ad-
dresses by prominent physicians and
discussions of the same occupied the
day. Notable among them was
that OF DR.. Herman Schwartz.
assistant pediatrist to the
Notable among the addresses de
nvered al the conference on preven-
tion Of infant mortality at New Ha-
ven yesterday, was that Of DR.. Her
man Schwarz, assistant pediatrist to
the Mount siani Hospital, New
York City. DR.. Schwarz said that
the reduction of infant mortality
could be accomplished by the combi-
nation OF three methods-the care
of the child before, during and for
at least a year after birth; the edu-
cation OF parents; the propaganda
of breast feeding, and securing a
good fresh cows milk for infants
which must be bottle-fed In this
connection he outlined the work OF
the Free Maternity Polytechnic OF New
York City. The prenatal work in
cludes. he said, an inquiry by the So
cial worker into the intelligence,
health, income and general circum-
stances OF the parents. Relief is
given when required, and when nee
essary a resident cook and house
cleaner are called on to help the wo-
men before and after confinement.
The mothers are also given the prop
er preliminary medical supervision.
After the birth of the child the home
is visited Immediately by trained
nurse, who performs whatever ser
vices are necessary. The baby's first
day out of doors means a visit to the
clinic, and the visits are repeated once
a month or oftener, for weighing and
examining. Breast feeding is urged
in every instance. The clinic is OPP
en- morning, noon and night of every
day including Sundays and holidays.
Breast feeding, DR.. Schwarz said,
would reduce the terrible mortality
Of the summer months from CASTRO
enteritis. Cut down the number of
bottle babies, he said, and you will
cut down the number of deaths" DR..
Schwarz quoted from a number of
tables giving the death rates of chr
dren in New York City. These
showed that during July of this pres
ent year the number of deaths of
children under one year from CASTRO
intestinal diseases in the Borough of
Manhattan amounted to 423, or ga
per cent of the deaths of children
under one year from all causes Dur
ing the month of August the number
of deaths of children under one year
from gastro-enteritis was 1871, and
from all diseases 1881, 67.6 per
cent being due to Intestinal disturb
ances. He also gave the figures
showing a comparison between the
number of deaths artificialIy-fed
children and breast-fed babies in tne
city of Berlin during the present
year. During July there were 9I3
deaths of children fed on cows milk,
and SO breast fed In August Las
deaths occurred among the artificial
ly-fed babies, and rs among those
materially nursed.

Grant Of Higher education TO WO-
men Marks Deep Change
Ia German Life.


German homes and German news
papers have been far more occupied
with the Prussian's Governments de-
cree granting higher education to
the women than by discussions on
German and British naval arma-
ments. The granting OF educational
opportunities for girls and women
equal to those of men is regarded as
marking a., deep change In German
life, where, more than in more west
ern nations, women have been con-
sidered as the keepers OF the home
and the workers in the minor indus
tries.
The Introductory paragraphs or
the decree of the Ministry OF Edu-
cation, which has been approved by
the Emperor, recite the reasons for
the change in the system Modern
life. says the decree. develops an
Increasing disinclination on the part
of men Of the upper classes to mar
ry, and more girls In the upper and
middle classes are prevented from
becoming wives and mothers. II is
desirable. therefore, that the sur
plus of young women should have
a chance of preparing themselves
for professional callings. and that
they should be trained In the higher
mental functions.
According to the scheme, girls are
to be educated In all studies em-
braced in specially arranged cur
riculum, beginning at a minimum
age of six years. At the end Of the
seventh school year the pupils will
begin to differentiate in their stud
les, those preparing for advanced in
struction having special courses laid
out for them, such as Latin. After
two years they will again be arrang-
ed in divisions. classical or modern
higher studies respectively. Then
after four years work they will. un-
der normal conditions, be admitted
to examinations for matriculation to
the universities
Up to this time their education
will have been carried on In separ-
! ate schools. but In the university CO.
education Will begin under condi-
tions similar to those governing men
students Those who at the end OF
the seventh school year do not elect
to specialize for a university course
may continue the ordinary courses
until they reach the age of l6. after
which they may leave school OF take

How They Were Curiously Discover
ed and Returned to Their Owner.
Ten 1000 franc bank notes, repre-
senting the savings of a woman who
lived ut Nanterre. near Paris. were
hidden by her in an old envelope
which was placed in a drawer In q
moment OF forgetfulness the enyel-
Qpe found its way into a dust bin.
In the morning the ragpickers
turned out the bin. but tossed aside
the tattered envelope without inspec-
tiOa. Some carriers happened to pass
that way. They picked up the now
mud spiashed piece of paper, one re-
marking to the other: Perhaps
there Is a fortune insidei" They
drew out the notes. This Is some
FOOLS pleasantly" they said; so by
way OF revenging themselves on the
unknown Joker and not believing
the notes we're genuine thsy tore
them to pieces and threw them aside.
Two market women came along
s, ortly afterward. VITA the shrewd-
ness OF their class they recognized
the scattered pieces of paper and
gathered them up and took them to
the CommissaTy of Police.
There they were pieeed together
aud II was found that none was
missing. fwo hours later the notes
SO curlously discovered we're restored
to their owner.
