Working for Better Babies.

Under the general lead OF the children's
bureau of the Department OF Labor. q concerted
movement in the direction Of better babies is
under way throughout the country. The con-
struetive possibilities OF such a campaign are as
broad as the race. One OF the sad experiences
OF life Is the excessive mortality among infants.
Only few of all born into the world reach ma
turity, whereas II is humanity possible that the
great majority might be saved through proper
care. Therefore. the work of baby week is to
set afoot the agitation that will bring about the
change. Care OF the baby in health and in sick
ness is the main theme Of the present week. and
advice will be given by learned men, we'll fitted
by experience, to discuss the topic. covering the
points on which mothers most need instruction.
Secondary phases have TO do with the proper
registration OF infants, that our public records
may be the more complete. and with provision

subjects Baby week" is merely reminder OF
a duty we have with us always. but IL II serves
to sharpen the interest OF the people in the topic
and aids young fathers and mothers to a better
understanding OF their problem, II will be OF

Agitation, education and legislation In the
last ten years have produced notable practical
results in the labor field OF this country. Proba-
hly no other like period has been as fruitful in
protective legislation and In forcing upon grasp
ing employers due regard for the lives OF work
efs. A start has been made In eleven states in
oompensatng workers for injuries sustained in
various occupations. Experience and practical
operation are bound 10 broaden the usefulness
OF the principle OF compensation and eliminate
the defects and inequalities OF untried laws.
Important these are TO the labor world, they
are surpassed in immediate results by legislation
for the protection Of women and child wage
earners.
recent report from the bureau OF labor
statistics OF the United States Department Of
Labor. covering the period from 1908 to 1915,
shows that forty-one states have prohibited fac
tory employment OF children under IA years OF
age. and thirty-fiye states require a medical
certificate OF physical fitness before issuing n
permit TO work Night work under 16 years OF
age Is forbidden In thirty-six states and for
women in six states. Thirty-four states limit
the work day for women and minors 10 ten hours
and four states impose the eight-hour day In fac
tories. Opposition TO legislation OF this kind IS
steadily narrowing and is now centered mainly
in three Industrial groups-the southern cotton
industry, the glass industry and the Pennsyi-
