Leads in Industry School.
Wisconsin represents absolutely
the greatest development of in
dustrial education that has been
brought before me up to the present
time remarked Frank Glynn. statis-
tistician of the state board of indus
trial education. at the Civics club
luncheon. In the year ending June
80, 1912, Wisconsin had over 10000
people in her system OF industrial ed
ucauon. in the year ending June 80,
1913, there were over $4,000, and in
the year ending June 30. 1916, we ex-
pect 70 have 5000 or SO 900.
The low percentage of children
dropping out Of Madison schools is
something for the city to be proud of.
Every child in Wisconsin that goes
to work must come back to school
one-half day week. At sixteen our
vocational guidance department takes
those children and places them in the
vocation for which they are most fit
ted, and from sixteen to seventeen
they still come back TO school.
The address of the day was deliv.
cred by Mrs. Paul Woolley, head OF
the vocational bureau of Cincinnati,
who gave number of interesting
facts in connection with working chill
dren as compared with those who re-
main in school. The basis of Mrs.
Woolley's talk was an eloquent idea
that something be done for the
brilliant children who have to leave
school and go to work because OF
economic pressure and also for the
duller minds who are 'pegging away
at academic studies that they can't
do while they could benefit from
vocational training in the grades.

are in the main the same. The causes
are either improper feeding or improper
digestion of the food. The natural food
of the child is the mothers milk, and,
to quote directly, "if there is an unfor-
giyable sin it is the sin of mother who
refuses to nurse her child when size is
able TO do So" About 70 per cent of the
| deaths from these causes are among the
bottle-fed babies. Sometimes, however,
the mother is unable to nurse the child
and the only resource is cows milk.
When such is the case the necessary
thing to do is to investigate the source
of the milk supply particularly with re.
spect to cleanliness. The doctor exhibited
and explained the score card which is
used to report the conditions in diaries
and urged the mothers OF Barre to in
yestigate the source of milk supply in
their city.
In the third group, measles and whoop-
ing cough are very fatal to young chill.
dren, but the thing least guarded against
is the common cold. Many deaths from
the latter cause are registered as bron-
chitis, or pneumonia, but originate from
colds. 1t is recognized fact that tuber-
cuiosls germs olteH enter bHe Douy VI
the young child and lie dormant until the
resistance of the body becomes weakened
in later life, when they become active
with fatal results to the patient. As
local application, the doctor stated that
about one-enth of the deaths from tuber-
eulosis in the state occur in Barre. He
suggested as common sense measure
that every mother troubled with a cold
should wear some sort of veil, over her
nose and mouth while nursing or working
over the child.
At the close of his lecture the doctor
said that since the year 1916 was to be a
better baby" year, it was proper to
have some slogan to work with and sug-
sested the words of Vanderbilt, as he
went down with the Titanic: "Come, let's
save the kiddies."

TOLD OF INFANTS CARE.
Interesting and Instructive Talk By DR..
c. +. Dalton.

As part of the nationwide campaign
which was conducted this week by the
women's clubs of America for better ba-
bies, talk was given in Rowland hall
last evening by DIR. Charles i. Dalton
of Burlington, secretary of the state
board of health. The talk had'to do chief
ly with the mortality of infants and
ways for the prevention of sickness and
death of very young children.
OF the seven or eight thousand infants
born yearly in Vermont, according to the
DOCTOR about 100 out OF every 1000 die
before they have attained the age of
one year. Even at that, however, condi-
lions are better than they were five or
six years ago when the deaths at this
age amounted to 1850 or 10 in every
thousand. The babies that die before
the age of one year may be divided
into three groups, as follows:
Babies born prematurely, babies that die
from the diarrheal diseases and babies
that die from the so-called common dis
eases which include whooping cough,
measles and common colds.
In the first group, which numbers
about one third of the total, the ques-
ton resolves itself into the nature of the
care which the prospective mother re-
eeives before the birth of the child. The
woman should be particularly careful Of
1er diet, OF her exercise and of her rest.
Self control is a very necessary factor
n the life of the mother, healthy moth
n meaning in most cases healthy child. 7
The second classification also includes
bout one third of the deaths and wheth-
II the disease be called dysentery, chol-
ra infantum, or any one of the many
James given it, the causes and results
