II has been my good fortune TO see
the results of some of the movements
to make life more tolerable for
Americas infants and to make it
easy for them 10 grow into strong
men and women. The movements
have had their birth in the cities
chiefly because there the greatest
obstacles confront the growing child.
The Federation of Day Nurseries,
the Federated Boys Clubs, the
National Congress of Mothers, the
Children's Conference of Research
and Welfare. the Department of
Child Hygiene Of the Russell Sage
Foundation, the National Play
ground Association, and many other

greatest asset, child life. Civic i'm
provement Leagues have been or
ganized in hundreds, even thous-
ands of communities for the purpose
of furthering plans for bringing
about such reforms as the welfare
of children and adults demands.
People in many cities and towns are
at last getting walked up to the fact
that the great sacrifice of child life
Is too much of drain on the vital
ity of the American nation. The
10000 babies that die every year
from neglect and poor feeding are
needed as citizens Ia do their share
Of the worlds work and add their
share to the worlds wealth. One
high authority estimates that one
and quarter million babies died
during the last census decade that
could have been saved. Some people
are finding out about these terrible
losses, and as a result, the Organi-
cations ! have mentioned, and many
others beside them, have been
launched and are doing splendid
work in rescuing human lives from
the debris of civilization, and saving
them for God and humanity.
Every city of any Importance has
its various clubs, conferences, play
grounds, vacation schools, etc. The
smaller towns and villages have
been falling into line, organizing
small forces of workers whose pa
triotism is a little more refined than
that of the common herd of human
lily; and they are going bravely
about the task of putting away from
the child the things that scar and
blast infant life, and putting within
his reach the things that add joy
and strength and happiness. In all
