GIRL MOI
FIT FOR MOTHERHOOD
Nerve Strain Of the city is Making
American Birth Rate
Lower.

/ United Press Leased Wire Service !
CHICAGO, Oct. 22-Chicago moth
ers experienced distinct shock when
they learned of the statement made
by DR.. Caroline Hedger in the first
lecture to women, arranged as a pre-
lude to the personal purity course to
be introduced In the Chicago public
schools. The average girl In a large
city is physically unfit for mother
hood" said Dr. Hedger "The mater
ial of womanhood in big cities like
Chicago is decidedly discouraging We
talk about the low birth rate in
France, but the birth rate among ma.
two born American women is just as
low as In France. It Is the foreign
women who make the birth rate in this
country"
Or. Hedger was connected with q
big Chicago mail order house employ.
Ing 1000 girls, and she gave the re.
suits of her observations More than
1000 Of these girls were treated every
month" she asserted. 1.-THE medicine
was made in five gallon lots. One.
fourth OF them had headache caused
by eye strain; others had hysteria
from nerve strain: others had pains
in the back from too much stress in
big city life.
There are two causes for the in
efficiency Of city girls for motherhood
These may be traced to the school
and the home. In neither place have
the girls been conserved. People have
ibeen so carried away with the econ
omic necessity in. the last fifty years
that a girl has never been considered
race factor. She has been Judged
as an earning power. but not as flu
ture mother ~.
